Dear Trang,


Attached please find second radiation hazard study with center frequency 6025 Mhz.

E48 should be as follows:

55.85 dBW for 2M80G7W for band 6185—6425 MHz (E43/44)
58.86 dBW for 5M6OG7ZW for band 6185—6425 MHz (E43/44)

55.85 dBW for 2M80G7W for band 5925—6125 MHz (E43/44)
58.86 dBW for S5M6OG7W for band 5925—6125 MHz (E43/44)

E49 should be changed to 27.4dBW/4MHz in all instances

Please take a look at the submitted frequency coordination study regarding the max. eirp level. The coordination shows
that it was coordinated with max. eirp density of 27.4 dBW/4kHz. You will have to lower the proposed eirp density
level for each carrier in the schedule B to correspond to the coordinated eirp density level 27.4 dBW/4kHz. Presently,
                                                           1


the schedule B, item E 49 shows 27.54 dBW/4kHz for all carriers which exceeds the coordinated level.      You must also
lower your eirp level, item E 48, so that the corresponding eirp density level be at 27.4 dBW/4kHz.

Also,

Because you specified 2 different transmit ranges: 5925—6125 and 6186—6425, the center transmit gain frequency must
be specified for each range. Is there another RF rad haz study that reflect transmit frequency in range 5925—
61257 Then that study should be included.

Dear Trang,

Yes, thanks for pointing that discrepancy. A new radiation hazard study has been generated with the center frequency
of 6250MHz or 6.25GHz. This now matches with the current value in E41/42 and falls within the ranges of E43/44 of
5925—6125 and 6185—6425.

For the frequency, you mean 6.175 GHz? However, the listed proposed transmit frequencies listed in the Schedule B,
Item 43/44, are in 5925—6125, 6185—6425. There is no listing of a transmit frequency in the 6175 MHz. Therefore,
6175 MHz as the transmit center frequency for antenna gain still poses problem.   Information
in Item 41/42 must link with Item 43/44.     Therefore, the transmit antenna gain must either be within the range
5925—6125 or 6185—6425 to make sense.

Thanks,
Trang

                                             2.4m

This study analyzes the potential Radio Frequency (RF) human exposure levels caused by the Electro Magnetic
(EM) fields of the above—captioned antenna. The mathematical analysis performed below complies with the
methods described in the Federal Communications Commission Office of Engineering and Technology Bulletin
No. 65 (1985 rev. 1997) R&O 96—326.

Maximum Permisible Exposure
There are two separate levels of exposure limits. The first applies to persons in the general population who are
in an uncontrolled environment. The second applies to trained personnel in a controlled environment.
According to 47 C.F.R. § 1.1310, the Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for frequencies above 1.5
GHz are as follows:
            * General Population / Uncontrolled Exposure 1.0 mW/cm2
            *« Occupational / Controlled Exposure 5.0 mW/cm2
The purpose of this study is to determine the power flux density levels for the earth station under study as
compared with the MPE limits. This comparison is done in each of the following regions:
            1.   Far—field region
            2.   Near—field region
            3.   Transition region
            4.   The region between the feed and the antenna surface
            5.   The main reflector region
            6.   The region between the antenna edge and the ground

Behavior of EM Fields as a Function of Distance
The behavior of the characteristics of EM fields varies depending on the distance from the radiating antenna.
These characteristics are analyzed in three primary regions: the near—field region, the far—field region and the
transition region. Of interest also are the region between the antenna main reflector and the subreflector, the
region of the main reflector area and the region between the main reflector and ground.

Figure 1. EM Fields as a Function of Distance


For parabolic aperture antennas with circular cross sections, such as the antenna under study, the near—field,
far—field and transition region distances are calculated as follows:

Parameter                                          Value         Unit    Formula
Near Field Distance:                               28.920          m     Rarg= D2/(4X)
Distance to Far Field:                             69.408          m     Rff = 0.60D2/(A)
Distance of Trasition Region                       28.920          m     Rt = Rof

The distance in the transition region is between the near and far fields. Thus, Rnf        s Rts Rff. However, the
power density in the transition region will not exceed the power density in the near—field. Therefore, for
purposes of the present analysis, the distance of the transition region can equate the distance to the near—field.


Power Flux Density Calculations
The power flux density is considered to be at a maximum through the entire length of the near—field. This region
is contained within a cylindrical volume with a diameter, D, equal to the diameter of the antenna. In the
transition region and the far—field, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance. The
following equations are used to calculate power density in these regions.




                                                                           Harris CapRock Communications, Inc.

The region between the main reflector and the subreflector is confined within a conical shape defined by the
feed assembly. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges. This energy is determined as
follows:

The power density in the main reflector is determined similarly to the power density at the feed flange; except
that the area of the reflector is used.

The power density between the reflector and ground, assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, is
calculated as follows:

Table 1 summarizes the calculated power flux density values for each region. In a controlled environment, the
only regions that exceed FCC limitations are shown below. These regions are only accessible by trained
technicians who, as a matter of procedure, turn off transmit power before performing any work in these areas.

In conclusion, the results show that the antenna, in a controlled environment, and under the proper mitigation
procedures, meets the guidelines specified in 47 C.F.R. § 1.1310.

Figure 1. EM Fields as a Function of Distance

For parabolic aperture antennas with circular cross sections, such as the antenna under study, the near—field,
far—field and transition region distances are calculated as follows:

Parameter                                          Value         Unit    Formula
Near Field Distance:                               30.000          m     Rps= D2/(4X)
Distance to Far Field:                             72.000          m     Rff = 0.60D2/(A)
Distance of Trasition Region                       30.000          m     Rt = Rnf

The distance in the transition region is between the near and far fields. Thus, Rnf         s Rts Rff. However, th
power density in the transition region will not exceed the power density in the near—field. Therefore, for
purposes of the present analysis, the distance of the transition region can equate the distance to the near—field.


Power Flux Density Calculations
The power flux density is considered to be at a maximum through the entire length of the near—field. This region
is contained within a cylindrical volume with a diameter, D, equal to the diameter of the antenna. In the
transition region and the far—field, the power density decreases inversely with the square of the distance. The
following equations are used to calculate power density in these regions.

The region between the main reflector and the subreflector is confined within a conical shape defined by the
feed assembly. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide flanges. This energy is determined as
follows:


Parameter                                          Value          Unit      Symbol   Formula
Power Density at the Feed Flange               | 16323 | mW/em‘|             $,      |4P/a
The power density in the main reflector is determined similarly to the power density at the feed flange; except
that the area of the reflector is used.

Power Density at Main Reflector                    4.863       _| MW/CM| Suagee 4P /4
The power density between the reflector and ground, assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, is
calculated as follows:

Parameter                                          Value          Unit      Symbol   Formula
Power Density between Reflector and Ground’        1.216       | mW/em* ‘    84      |P /4

Table 1 summarizes the calculated power flux density values for each region. In a controlled environment, the
only regions that exceed FCC limitations are shown below. These regions are only accessible by trained
technicians who, as a matter of procedure, turn off transmit power before performing any work in these areas.

In conclusion, the results show that the antenna, in a controlled environment, and under the proper mitigation
procedures, meets the guidelines specified in 47 C.F.R. § 1.1310.
