   NEW 9.2m KA—BAND EARTH STATION

      _— RIVERSIDE, CALIFORNIA




                             December 4, 2009


                                       Exhibit A

                          Response to Form 312, Question 43



 Intelsat North America LLC ("Intelsat") requests Special Temporary Authority ("STA")
 to test a new 9.2m Ka—band antenna that will be located at its existing Riverside, CA
‘teleport. Intelsat requests this STA for a period of 30 days, beginning March 22, 2010.


During testing, the Ka—band antenna will transmit in the band 29500—30000 MHz and
receive in the band 19700—20200 MHz. During testing, the antenna will communicate
with Galaxy 28 at 89° W.L. Galaxy 28 will be used for antenna gain patterns verification
— transmit and receive in both azimuth and elevation in both polarizations (linear and
circular) —— and for cross—polarization patterns verification. The relevant technical
parameters are captured in FCC Form 312, Schedule B, which is included as Exhibit B.

Representative antenna patterns from the manufacturer are provided as Exhibit C. As
demonstrated by the antenna manufacturer‘s measurements, the antenna complies with
the antenna gain patterns specified in Section 25.209(a) and (b). Further, the proposed
parameters for testing the new antenna are in compliance with the off—axis EIRP density
mask of 25.138.

A new radiation hazard report is included as Exhibit D.

The proposed antenna is exempt from notification to the FAA under Section 17.14(a) of
the FCC‘s rules, 47 C.F.R. § 17.14(a). See also 47 C.F.R. § 25.113(c). The proposed
antenna will be located in the existing Riverside, CA teleport and will be shielded by
existing structures of a permanent and substantial character,.   There are several FCC—
licensed earth station antennas located in the teleport at the proposed site that are at
heights above ground level that are comparable to or greater than the height above ground
level of the antenna proposed in the instant application. (See e.g., Call Sign EO60384,
Call Sign EO60388, and Call Sign E020314.) Under these circumstances, it is evident
that the proposed antenna will not adversely affect safety in air navigation.

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 9.2—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 9.2—meter earth station system. The analysis and
calculations performed in this report comply with the methods described in the FCC Office of Engineering
and Technology Bulletin, No. 65 first published in 1985 and revised in 1997 in Edition 97—01. The radiation
safety limits used in the analysis are in conformance with the FCC R&O 96—326. Bulletin No. 65 and the
FCC R&O specifies that there are two separate tiers of exposure limits that are dependant on the situation in
which the exposure takes place and/or the status of the individuals who are subject to the exposure. The
Maximum Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits for persons in a General Population/Uncontrolled environment
are shown in Table 1. The General Population/Uncontrolled MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is
for an exposure period of thirty minutes or less. The MPE limits for persons in an Occupational/Controlled
environment are shown in Table 2. The Occupational MPE is a function of transmit frequency and is for an
exposure period of six minutes or less. The purpose of the analysis described in this report is to determine
the power flux density levels of the earth station in the far—field, near—field, transition region, between the
subreflector or feed and main reflector surface, at the main reflector surface, and between the antenna edge
and the ground and to compare these levels to the specified MPEs.

1.       Far Field Distance Calculation
The distance to the beginning of the far field can be determined from the following equation:

      Distance to the Far Field Region                      R; = 0.60 D/A                         (1)
                                                             — = 4993.8 m

The maximum main beam power density in the far field can be determined from the following
equation:                                                                        P

      On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                S; =GP/(4 1 R;")                      (2)
                                                               = 4,426 Wim*
                                                                 = 0.443 mWi/icm*

2.       Near Field Calculation

Power flux density is considered to be at a maximum value throughout the entire length of the
defined Near Field region. The region is contained within a cylindrical volume having the same
diameter as the antenna. Past the boundary of the Near Field region, the power density from the
antenna decreases linearly with respect to increasing distance.

The distance to the end of the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

      Extent of the Near Field                              Ry = D/ (4 A)                         (3)
                                         -                       = 2080.7 m              '
The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     — Near Field Power Density    _                        Sy = 16.0 1 P / (@D")                 (4)
                                                                 = 10.332 W/im
                                                                 = 1.033 mW/cm*

3.       Transition Region Calculation

The Transition region is located between the Near and Far Field regions. The power density
begins to decrease linearly with increasing distance in the Transition region. While the power
density decreases inversely with distance in the Transition region, the power density decreases
inversely with the square of the distance in the Far Field region. The maximum power density in
the Transition region will not exceed that calculated for the Near Field region. The power density
calculated in Section 1 is the highest power density the antenna can produce in any of the regions
away from the antenna. The power density at a distance R, can be determined from the following
equation:                                                                                   '

                                                                                   Exhibit D

 4.       Region between the Main Reflector and the Subreflector

 Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are
 reflected back toward the main reflector. The most common feed assemblies are waveguide
 flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the subreflector and the reflector surfaces
 can be calculated by determining the power density at the subreflector surface. This can be
 determined from the following equation:
      {


      Power Density at the Subreflector                      Ssr = 4000 P / Ag                   (6)
                                                                 = 176.284 mWicm*


 5.       Main Reflector Region

 The power density in the main reflector is determined in the same manner as the power ‘density at
 the subreflector. The area is now the area of the main reflector aperture and can be determined
— from the following equation:               —

      Power Density at the Main Reflector Surface      Sgurtace 7 4 P / Asurtace    j            (7)
                                                                = 24.069 W/im*
                  ~              ,                              = 2.407 mW/icm*


 6.       Region between the Main Reflector and the Gfound

 Assuming uniform illumination of the reflector surface, the power denS|ty between the antenna and
 the ground can be determined from the following equation:

      Power Density between Reflector and Ground             Sqg = P / Asurface                  (8)
                                       ©                         = 6.017 W/m"
                                                                = 0.602 mW/cm*


                                                                                  Exhibit D

It is the appllcant's responsibility to ensure that the public and operational personnel are not
exposed to harmful levels of radiation.

8.     Conclusions


Based upon the above analysis, it is concluded that FCC RF Guidelines have been exceeded in
the specified region(s) of Table 4. The applicant proposes to comply with the Maximum
Permissible Exposure (MPE) limits of 1.0 mW/cm**2 for the Uncontrolled Areas and the MPE
limits of 5.0 mW/cm**2 for the Controlled Areas.

The antenna will be installed at the Applicant’s teleport facility near Nuevo, California. The facility
is surrounded by a fence, which will restrict any public access. The earth station will be marked
with the standard radiation hazard warnings, as well as the area in the vicinity of the earth station
to inform those in the general population, who might be working or otherwise present in or near the
direct path of the main beam.

The applicant will ensure that the main beam of the antenna will be pointed at least one diameter
away from any building, or other obstacles in those areas that exceed the MPE levels. Since one
diameter removed from the center of the main beam the levels are down at least 20 dB, or by a
factor of 100, these potential hazards do not exist for either the public, or for earth statlon
personnel.

Finally, the earth station‘s operating personnel will not have access to areas that exceed the MPE
levels, while the earth station is in operation. The transmitter will be turned off during periods of
maintenance, so that the MPE standard of 5.0 mw/cm**2 will be complied with for those regions in
close proximity to the main reflector, which could be occupied by operating personnel.
