Conclusion:

Based on the above analysis, harmful areas of radiation do exist in areas around the antenna and in the path of the
antenna toward the satellite that it is pointed. The area occupied by the general public, “uncontrolled environment”,
will not exceed the ANSI limit of 1mW/cm² because precautions will be taken to warn, educate and limit the access of
personnel around the areas of the antenna and its path that may pose a radiation hazard. The bottom edge of the
antenna, which is mounted on top of a truck, is 12 feet high when deployed which moves the hazard away from the
public. Normal look angles for domestic operation move the potential hazard even further away from the general
public. As well during operation no maintenance personnel or public will be able to have access to the main reflector
area. This area has the greatest concentration of radiation, but fortunately is not accessible during operation due to the
operational angle of the antenna and the height above ground level. In addition the antenna will be marked with the
standard radiation hazard signs. The warning signs will warn personnel to avoid the area around and in front of the
reflector when the transmitter is operational. To ensure compliance with safety limits, the Earth Station transmitters
will be turned off and marked to remain off whenever maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in the
areas of potential hazard as defined in the above study. Additionally, all Earth Station personnel will be trained to
insure that the antenna path is clear at all times while the transmitter is in operation.
