Because the above uplink spectrum is shared with the Federal Government, coordination in this
band requires resolution data pertaining to potential interference between the earth station and
both Navy Department and NASA systems. Potential interference from the earth station could
impact with the Navy and/or NASA systems in two areas. These areas are noted in FCC Report
and Order 96-377 dated September 1996, and consist of (1) Radiolocation and radio navigation,
(2) Data Relay Satellites.


Summary of Coordination Issues:

1) Potential Impact to Government Radiolocation (Shipboard Radar)
2) Potential Impact to NASA Data Relay Satellite Systems (TDRSS)



2.     Potential Impact to Government Radiolocation (Shipboard Radar)

Radiolocation operations (RADAR) may occur anywhere in the 13.4 - 14 GHz frequency band
aboard ocean going United States Navy ships. The Federal Communication Commission (FCC)
order 96-377 allocates the top 250 MHz of this 600 MHz band to the Fixed Satellite Service
(FSS) on a co-primary basis with the radiolocation operations and provides for an interference
protection level of -167 dBW/m2/4 kHz.


The closest distance to the shoreline from the Woodbine earth station is approximately 65.9 km
Southeast toward the Chesapeake Bay. The calculation of the power spectral density at this
distance is given by:
                      N0N   648 kHz 6 MHz 10 MHz 20 MHz 50.2MHz 72MHz 152MHz 240MHz

Carrier Bandwidth:      CW    648 kHz 6 MHz 10 MHz 20 MHz 50.2 MHz 72 MHz 152 MHz 240 MHz
PD at antenna Input:   -14.0 -14.0    -20.7   -20.7    -14.0    -15.9  -17.5  -20.7  -22.7
(dBW/4 kHz)
Transmit Antenna Gain:                        59.9 dBi
Antenna Gain Horizon:                     FCC Reference Pattern
Antenna Elevation Angle:                      10.5°

The proposed earth station will radiate interference toward the Chesapeake Bay according to its
off-axis side-lobe performance. A conservative analysis, using FCC standard reference pattern,
results in off-axis antenna gains of -10.0 dBi toward the Chesapeake Bay.

The signal density at the shoreline, through free space is:

N0N Carriers (CW Carrier)
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).

       = -14.0 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
       = -131.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
       = -194.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz


648 kHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).

      = -14.0 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -131.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -194.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz

6 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).

      = -20.7 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -138.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -201.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz

10 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -20.7 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -138.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -201.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz

20 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -14.0 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -131.4 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -194.4 dBW/m2/4 kHz

50.2 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -15.9 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -133.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -196.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz

72 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -17.5 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -134.9 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -197.9 dBW/m2/4 kHz


152 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -20.7 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -138.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -201.0 dBW/m2/4 kHz

240 MHz Carriers
PFD = Antenna Feed Power density (dBW/4 kHz) + Antenna Off-Axis Gain (dBi) – Spread Loss
(dBw-m2).
      = -22.7 dBw/4 kHz + (-10.0) dBi – 10*log[4Π*(65900m)2]
      = -140.1 dBW/m2/4 kHz + Additional Path Losses (~63.0 dB)
      = -203.1 dBW/m2/4 kHz

Our calculations identified additional path losses of approximately 63.0 dB including absorption
loss and earth diffraction loss for the actual path profiles from the earth station to the nearest
shoreline.

The worst case calculated PFD including additional path losses to the closest shoreline location is
–194.3 dBW/m2/4 kHz for all carriers. This meets the –167 dBW/m2/4 kHz interference criteria of
R&O 96-377. Therefore, there should be no interference to the US Navy RADAR from the
Woodbine earth station due to the distance and the terrain blockage between the site and the
shore.

3.     Potential Impact to NASA’s Data Relay Satellite System (TDRSS)

The geographic location of the SES Americom earth station in Woodbine, Maryland is outside the
390 km radius coordination contour surrounding NASA’s White Sands, New Mexico ground
station complex. Therefore, the TDRSS space-to-earth link will not be impacted by the SES
Americom earth station in Woodbine, Maryland.

The TDRSS space-to-space link in the 13.772 to 13.778 GHz band is assumed to be protected if
an earth station produces an EIRP less than 71 dBW/6 MHz in this band. The 9 meter earth
station antenna will have an EIRP less than 71 dBW/6 MHz for carriers, CW, 648 kHz, 6 MHz,
152 MHz and 240 MHz carriers in this band. The total EIRP for the CW Carrier is 45.9 dBW and
the equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will remain at 45.9 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the
648 kHz, carriers is 68.0 dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will be 67.9 dBW/6
MHz. The total EIRP for the 6 MHz, carriers is 71.0 dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz
segment will be 70.0 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the 10 MHz, carriers is 73.2 dBW. The
equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will be 71.5 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the 20 MHz,
carriers is 82.9 dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will be 79.6 dBW/6 MHz. The
total EIRP for the 50.2 MHz, carriers is 85.0 dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will
be 76.6 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the 72 MHz, carriers is 85.0 dBW. The equivalent EIRP
per 6 MHz segment will be 73.0 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the 152 MHz, carriers is 85.0
dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will be 59.7 dBW/6 MHz. The total EIRP for the


240 MHz, carriers is 85.0 dBW. The equivalent EIRP per 6 MHz segment will be 45.0 dBW/6
MHz.

Therefore, there should not be interference to the TDRSS space-to-space link for the CW carriers,
648 kHz, 6 MHz, 152 MHz and 240 MHz carriers. For the 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 50.2 MHz and 72
MHz carriers, the total EIRP per 6 MHz will exceed the 71.0 dBW/6 MHz level. To avoid
interference to the TDRSS space-to-space link the 10 MHz, 20 MHz, 50.2 MHz and 72 MHz
carriers will not be used for the transmit spectrum of 13.772 to 13.778 GHz by this earth station.

4.   Coordination Issue Result Summary and Conclusions

The results of the analysis and calculations performed in this exhibit indicate that compatible
operation between the earth station at the Woodbine facility and the US Navy and NASA systems
space-to-earth link are possible for all of the proposed carriers. Operations in NASA systems
space-to-space link (13772.0 to 13778.0 MHz) will also be permitted for all of the carriers with
the exception of the 36 MHz and 54 MHz emissions.

1. CONCLUSIONS




An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS




A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.

1. CONCLUSIONS




An interference study considering all existing, proposed and prior coordinated microwave
facilities within the coordination contours of the proposed earth station demonstrates that
this site will operate satisfactorily with the common carrier microwave environment.
Further, there will be no restrictions of its operation due to interference considerations.

2. SUMMARY OF RESULTS




A number of great circle interference cases were identified during the interference study of
the proposed earth station. Each of the cases, which exceeded the interference objective
on a line-of-sight basis, was profiled and the propagation losses estimated using NBS
TN101 (Revised) techniques. The losses were found to be sufficient to reduce the signal
levels to acceptable magnitudes in every case.
