                                            Radiation Hazard Analysis


                                                         7.3 Meter C-14
                                                   Mount Airy, Maryland 21771

         Introduction
         A radiation hazard anaylsis is presented for a 7.3 meter C band aperture antenna to be installed in Mount
         AiryMaryland at the SES Woodbine ES. This Radiation Analysis calculates the non-ionizing radiation levels
         expected to be emitted from the earth station on a worse cases basis and is performed in accordance with the
         Federal Communications Commissions Office of Engineering and Technology (OET) Bulletin, No. 65.


         Requirements
         OET 65 outlines the maximum permissible exposure limits in two cases for operation in this frequency range.

            1. The first case is the maximum level that a person may be exposed to in the general population. The
               exposure limit is defined as a non-ionizing power level equal to 1 milliwatt per centimeter squared
               averaged over a thirty minute period.
            2. The second case is a controlled environment where the maximum permissible exposure limit must not
               exceed 5 milliwatts per centimeter squared averaged over any six minute period.

         Summary
         The results indicate that no significant hazard will be presented to the general population and will be fully
         mitigated in the controlled area by the use of procedures that require the removal of transmit power before
         accessing the area around the main reflector.


         Analysis
         This analysis was performed on seven zones with the results shown in Radiation Hazard Zones. The Table
         labeled Input Values provides the - input data required to perform the analysis. The table labeled OET 65
         Calculated Values provides the intermediate calculation used to perform the assessment in accordance with
         OET 65. The Analysis is performed for each a the each of seven radiation zones as shown in figure 1 –
         Analysis Zones. These zones are:
            1. Point between the feed and the sub-reflector
            2. The power at the surface of the antenna
            3. The power level between the main reflector and ground
            4. The near-field or Fresnel region in which the maxima can be reached before the field starts to diminish
               with distance
            5. The Transition region where power begins to decrease inversely with distance from the antenna
            6. The Far Field or Fraunhofer region where power decreases inversely with the square of the distance.
               This is the point at which the antenna beam is fully collimated
            7. The off axis level in the near field. This is defined as the area outside of the main beam removed and at
               least one antenna diameter removed from the main beam

  Notes
        1. The antenna is installed in a controlled location access is restricted to authorized personnel only. The antenna is
          marked with RF Radiation Hazard signage.
        2. Inside the controlled area, MPE levels exceed the MPE exposure for occupational levels. The levels will be reduced
          to safe MPE by removing power to the transmitters when work is performed on or around the antenna. This area
          can only be accessed by qualified personnel.
        3. The field develops 1.91 meters above ground level at the minimum elevation angle which is not accessable to the
          general public.
