         Dear Ms. Dortch:

                Attached please find an Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Analysis
         performed for the above-referenced earth station. Would you please associate this
         EMC analysis with lntelsat LLC’s pending above application for modification of radio
         station license, filed on March 14, 2004.

                 lntelsat LLC also has reviewed NTlA TR-99-361 Report, Technical
          Characteristics of Radiolocation Systems Operating in the 3, 7-3.7GHz Band and
         Procedures for assessing EMC with Fixed Earth Station Receivers. To the extent
         there is a potential for unacceptable interference that may be caused to its receiving
         earth station, lntelsat agrees to accept such interference. Furthermore, it is aware
         that the use of an RF filter ahead of the low noise amplifier would limit potential
         out-of-band interference to the receiving earth station.

    1.0         Introduction

    Interference calculations were performed to determine the potential for in-band and out-of-band interference from
    Radiolocation Systems operating in the 3.1 to 3.7 GHz band’. The geographical positions and operating parameters of
    these systems was derived from NTIA Document TR-99-361’.



    2.0         Radiolocation Systems in the 3.1 - 3.7 GHz Band

    High-powered mobile and fixed radar systems operated by the Federal Government operate in the 3.1 - 3.7 GHz band.
    These radars are used to search for and track near-surface and high-altitude airborne projectiles, sea surveillance, and
    airborne objects. The NTIA report referenced above has identified the locations for two types of systems: land-based
    and shipboard based. Also included in the report are the operating characteristics of these radars. There are two
    prevalent types of shipboard radars, denoted as type A and Type B, and one type of ground-based radar. An Airborne
    System radar is also specified. This analysis will concern itself with interference from the ground based and shipboard
    based radars based upon the relative operating positions and parameters specified in the NTIA report.

    A summary of the operating parameters for the shipboard and ground based radar systems is shown below:

4.0      Interference Calculations

The interference was calculated into the earth station receive system for both in-band and out-of-band interference.
The interference power level was calculated using the formula below:

         P, = Pt + G, - FSL - OHLOSS + G,, - LL, - LL,,

Where:
         P, : Interference power level received at victim earth station, in dBW
         Pt: Transmitter power of Radiolocation system, in dBW
         G,: Gain of Radiolocation transmit system, in dBi
         FSL: Free Space Loss between radiolocation system and earth station, in dB
         OHLOSS: Over-the-Horizon losses between radiolocation system and earth station, in dB
         G,: Horizon gain of the earth station toward radiolocation transmitter, in dBi
         LL,: Line losses of the radiolocation system, in dB (assume 2dB per NTIA report)
         LL,,: Line losses of the earth station system, in dB (assume 0 dB unless known)

This interference power level was then compared to in-band and out-of-band interference criteria. The in-band criteria
was developed using ITU and FCC recommendations3. The out-of-band interference criteria was developed using the
following:

The earth station’s low -noise amplifier front-end overload criteria of was determined using the following calculations:



Where:
         T = input threshold at which front-end overload occurs, dBW
         C = output 1 dB gain compression point of the LNA, typical -20 dBW
         G = Gain of the LNA, dB

For the purposes of this report it was assumed that the low-noise amplifier would not provide any out-of-band
frequency rejection, thus no Frequency Dependent Rejection values based upon any RF selectivity, such as pre-LNA
filtering or inherent LNA filtering, have been assumed. The maximum level of interference is the includes the input
saturation threshold value minus a 10 dB output backoff value to consider in operation levels

The maximum interference power receive, P,, allowable then becomes:

         Max P, 2 T - IPBO

For a 65 dB gain LNA this value is -95 dBW. In the absence of manufacturer LNALNB specifications the following
typical values have been used:

         T = -95 dBW
         C = -20 dBW
         G = 65 dB

The propagation model to determine the over-the-horizon loss is the NSMA OH-Loss model4. When the propagation
link is very lengthy, over 250 miles, an estimated OH-loss using a rounded earth modeling value has been used.

5.0     Summary of Results
The summary calculations are shown for all shipboard based and land based systems in Tables 4 through 8 below.
Whenever Radar A and B are possibly in use, the interference calculations have assumed the higher powered systems
(Radar B). The antenna elevation for the Ground Based systems was assumed to be 46 m even though it was not
specified in the NTIA report.

6.0      Conclusions

Calculations were performed to assess the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) between the radars listed
above and an adjacent-band FSS earth station receiver in Nuevo, CA. The interference assessment for
3625 - 3700 MHz at this site identified 3 cases of potential interference. However, due to their relatively
low interference margin and the presence of above terrain obstacles Intelsat does not feel that these case
will present any problems to the operation of this earth station.
