 geographic coverage requirements specified in 47 C.F.R. Part 25 and will not comply with such
 requirements because it is not feasible as a technical matter to do so, or that, while technically  O c
 feasible, such services would require so many compromises in satellite design and operation as to
 make it economically unreasonable. A narrative description and technical analysis demonstrating
 this claim are attached.

                                                     CERTIFICATION

regulatory power of the United States because of the previous use of the same, whether by license or otherwise, and
requests an authorization in accordance with this application. The applicantcertifies that grant of this application would not
cause the applicant to be in violation of the spectrum aggregation limit in 47 CFR Part 20. All statements made in exhibits
are a material part hereof and are incorporated herein as if set out in full in this application. The undersigned, individually

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.




Frequency Coordination and Interference Analysis Report      11/10/2011          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 every case.

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 are considered
on the interfering paths, sufficient blockage exists to negate harmful interference from
occurring with the proposed transmit—receive earth station.

      Analysis of Non—lonizing Radiation for a 3.8—Meter Earth
                          Station System

This report analyzes the non—ionizing radiation levels for a 3.8—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)
                                                               = 178.3 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 1Ry")                     (2)
                                                                = 0.973 W/m*
                                                               = 0.097 mW/cm*
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)
                                                               = 74.3 m

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

     Near Field Power Density                               Sa = 16.01 P /(z D)                 (4)
                                                               =2.273 W/im*
                                                               = 0.227 mWicm*

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                        $ =Sy Ra/R                          (5)
                                                               = 0.227 mWicm*

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                     S; =4000 P / Aj,                      (6)
                                                              = 139.606 mW/cm*

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:

     Power Density at the Reflector Surface           Scurtace 7 4 P / Asurtace                 (7)
                                                              = 3.527 W/im*
                                                              = 0.353 mW/cm*


G.      Region between the Reflector and the Ground

Assuming uniform ilumination 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           Sg =P / Asurtace                      (8)
                                                              = 0.882 W/m*
                                                              = 0.088 mW/cm*

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.
