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, based
upon the restrictions noted in the Summary of Results (Section 2).




Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report   10/13/2011          Page 3 of 10


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 most cases.

The following companies reported potential great circle interference conflicts that did not
meet the objectives on a line—of—sight basis. When over—the—horizon losses and frequency
separation are considered on the interfering paths, sufficient losses exist to negate
harmful interference from occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station.
Further, the transmit spectrum will be limited to frequencies 6094.0 to 6124.0 MHz, and
6382.0 to 6423.0 MHz.                                                                ‘

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 2.4—Meter Earth
                          Station System
This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 2.4—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                       Rg = 0.60 D/A                       (1)
                                                               = 71.1 m

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

     On—Axis Power Density in the Far Field                 S; =GP/(4 t Ry°)                    (2)
                                                               = 1.246 W/im*
                                                               = 0.125 mW/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 2)                     (3)
                                         —                     = 29.6 m

The maximum power density in the Near Field can be determined from the following equation:

     Near Field Power Density                               Si = 16.0 1 P / (1 D)               (4)
                                                               = 2.909 W/m*
                                                               = 0.291 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:

     Transition Region Power Density                        S = Sn Ry/R                         (5)
                                                               = 0.291 mW/icm*


                                                                                     Exhibit B
Radiation Hazard Report                                                              Page 3 of 5


4.      Region between the Feed Assembly and the Antenna Reflector

Transmissions from the feed assembly are directed toward the antenna reflector surface, and are
confined within a conical shape defined by the type of feed assembly. The most common feed
assemblies are waveguide flanges, horns or subreflectors. The energy between the feed assembly
and reflector surface can be calculated by determining the power density at the feed assembly
surface. This can be determined from the following equation:

     Power Density at the Feed Flange                     Sia = 4000 P / Agj                       (6)
                                                               = 70.540 mW/icm*


5.      Main Reflector Region

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

6.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

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

     Power Density between Reflector and Ground           Sq         =P / Asurface                 (8)

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




8.      Conclusions

Based on the above analysis it is concluded that harmful levels of radiation will not exist in regions
normally occupied by the public or the earth station‘s operating personnel. The transmitter will be
turned off during antenna maintenance so that the FCC MPE of 5.0 mW/cm2 will be complied with
for those regions with close proximity to the reflector that exceed acceptable levels.

The applicant agrees to abide by the conditions specified in Condition 5208 provided below:

      Condition 5208 — The licensee shall take all necessary measures to ensure that the
      antenna does not create potential exposure ofhumans to radiofrequency radiation
      in excess ofthe FCC exposure limits defined in 47 CFR 1.1307(b) and 1.1310
      wherever such exposures might occur. Measures must be taken to ensure
      compliance with limitsfor both occupational/controlled exposure andfor general
      population/uncontrolled exposure, as defined in these rule sections. Compliance
      can be accomplished in most cases by appropriate restrictions such asfencing.
      Requirementsfor restrictions can be determined by predictions based on
      calculations, modeling or byfield measurements. The FCC‘s OET Bulletin 65
      (available on—line at www.fec.gov/oet/rfsafety) provides information on predicting
      exposure levels and on methodsfor ensuring compliance, including the use of
      warning and alerting signs andprotective equipmentfor worker.
