STATEMENT OF WILLIAM J. GETZ IN SUPPORT OF AN APPLICATION TO MODIFY FIXED SATELLITE SERVICE TEMPORARY-FIXED EARTH STATION E040399 FCC FILE NO. SES-LIC-20040927-01515 I am a Radio Engineer, an employee in the firm of Carl T. Jones Corporation, with offices located in Springfield, Virginia. My education and experience are a matter of record with the Federal Communications Commission. This office has been authorized by WLS Television, Inc. to prepare this statement in support of an Application to modify the above-referenced, temporary-fixed earth station, Ku-band FCC license. Specifically, this application proposes to add two additional transportable Satellite News Gathering (SNG) antennas to the existing license. No further changes are proposed herein. This Statement and the supporting Exhibits set forth the operational guidelines for the intended modification of License and submits material to demonstrate compliance with the Commission’s Rules regarding human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) energy. Proposed (Antenna-2) Technical Operation Presently, the E040399 Fixed Satellite Service license allows for use of one transportable 1.5 meter Advent Communications satellite antenna mounted on top of a WLS-TV, Chicago, Illinois, Satellite News Gathering (SNG) truck. The Applicant proposes herein to add two new antennas to the existing license for use in connection with the WLS-TV SNG efforts. The two new antennas proposed herein are AvL Technologies 1.4 meter antennas and their technical operation is described below. No further changes are proposed herein. For the AvL 1.4 meter antenna (Antenna-2), the planned input power to the system flange is 112.2 Watts RMS, which is the antenna input power required to produce the single carrier system’s maximum EIRP of 65.0 dBW. Exhibit 1 lists the E040399 operating parameters, the Elevation Limit and Azimuth Limit calculations, and the Input Density calculations relevant to the proposed Antenna-2 operation. The maximum EIRP is 65.0 dBW, and the maximum EIRP density in a 4 kHz band is 25.46 dBW in the main beam of the antenna. The gain of the AvL antenna is 44.5 dBi at 14.25 GHz (mid-band). The maximum Input Density for the proposed Antenna-2 is -19.04 dBW/4 kHz band toward the horizon. The WLS-TV newsgathering efforts will occur only mainly in the Chicago area and generally in the Midwestern United States. Elevation and Azimuth angle calculation
