     This analysis predicts the radiation levels around a proposed earth station complex, comprised of one
     or more aperture (reflector) type antennas. This report is developed in accordance with the prediction
     methods contained in OET Bulletin No. 65, "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
     Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields," Edition 97-01, pp 26-30. The maximum level
     of non-ionizing radiation to which employees may be exposed is limited to a power density level of 5
     milliwatts per square centimeter (5 mW/cm2) averaged over any 6 minute period in a controlled
     environment and the maximum level of non-ionizing radiation to which the general public is exposed
                                                                                       2
     is limited to a power density level of 1 milliwatt per square centimeter (1 mW/cm ) averaged over any
     30 minute period in a uncontrolled evironment. Note that the worse-case radiation hazards exist along
     the beam axis. Under normal circumstances, it is highly unlikely that the antenna axis will be aligned
     with any occupied area since that would represent a blockage to the desired signals, thus rendering the
     link unuseable.
     The parameters which determine the radiation levels for the proposed earth station antenna site

                                           Prepared by Andrew Corporation


     1. At the Antenna Surface:
     The power density at the reflector surface can be calculated from the expression:

                    PDrefl =      4P/A =             4.72      mW/cm2                                (1)
                     where:       P = total power at feed, milliwatts
                                  A = Total area of reflector, sq. cm
     In the normal range of transmit powers for satellite antennas, the power densities at or around the
     reflector surface is expected to exceed safe levels. This area will not be accessible to the general
     public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as a high exposure area.
     Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted or turned off before
     access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     2. On-Axis Near Field Region:
     The geometrical limits of the radiated power in the near field approximate a cylindrical volume with a
     diameter equal to that of the antenna. In the near field, the power density is neither uniform nor does
     its value vary uniformly with distance from the antenna. For the purpose of considering radiation
     hazard it is assumed that the on-axis flux density is at its maximum value throughout the length of this
     region. The length of this region, i.e., the distance from the antenna to the end of the near field, is
     computed as Rnf above.

     The maximum power density in the near field is given by:

                    PDnf =        (16 ε P)/(πD2) =                  3.04      mW/cm2                 (2)
                                                                  from 0 to      72         meters

     Evaluation:    Uncontrolled Environment:                  Mitigation Required, See Note 1
                    Controlled Environment:                    Complies to FCC Limits


     3.0 On-Axis Transition Region:
     The transition region is located between the near and far field regions. As stated in Bulletin 65, the
     power density begins to vary inversely with distance in the transition region. The maximum power
     density in the transition region will not exceed that calculated for the near field region, and the
     transition region begins at that value. The maximum value for a given distance within the transition
     region may be computed for the point of interest according to:
                    PDt =         (PDnf)(Rnf)/R =              dependent on R                        (3)
                      where:      PDnf = near field power density
                                  Rnf = near field distance
                                  R = distance to point of interest
                                          For:              72     < R <           172      meters




Dimond D 3.8m C-Band Rad Haz Report.xlsx        9/18/2017 10:15 AM                                              2


                                            Prepared by Andrew Corporation


     We use Eq (3) to determine the safe on-axis distances required for the two occupancy conditions:
     Evaluation:
      Uncontrolled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafeu: In F-F region, See Section 4

      Controlled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafec:        44


     4.0 On-Axis Far-Field Region:
      The on- axis power density in the far field region (PDff) varies inversely with the square of the
     distance as follows:

                    PDff =           PG/(4πR2) =                   dependent on R                 (4)
                      where:         P = total power at feed
                                     G = Numeric Antenna gain in the direction of interest
                                            relative to isotropic radiator
                                     R = distance to the point of interest
                                                              For: R > Rff > 172           meters
                                                  PDff =              1.30    mW/cm2 at Rff

     We use Eq (4) to determine the safe on-axis distances required for the two occupancy conditions:
     Evaluation:
       Uncontrolled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafeu : 197

       Controlled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafec :      See Section 3


     5.0 Off-Axis Levels at the FarField Limit and Beyond

     In the far field region, the power is distributed in a pattern of maxima and minima (sidelobes) as a
     function of the off-axis angle between the antenna center line and the point of interest. Off-axis power
     density in the far field can be estimated using the antenna radiation patterns prescribed for the antenna
     in use. Usually this will correspond to the antenna gain pattern envelope defined by the FCC or the
     ITU, which takes the form of:
                                     Goff = 32 - 25log(Θ)
                    for Θ from 1 to 48 degrees; -10 dBi from 48 to 180 degrees
                    (Applicable for commonly used satellite transmit antennas)
     Considering that satellite antenna beams are aimed skyward, power density in the far field will usually
     not be a problem except at low look angles. In these cases, the off axis gain reduction may be used to
     further reduce the power density levels.
     For example: At one (1) degree off axis At the far-field limit, we can calculate the power density as:
     Goff = 32 - 25log(1) = 32 - 0 dBi = 1585 numeric

                    PD1 deg off-axis =         PDff x 1585/G =      0.0568    mW/cm2                (5)

                                           Prepared by Andrew Corporation


     6.0 Off-Axis power density in the Near Field and Transitional Regions
     According to Bulletin 65, off-axis calculations in the near field may be performed as follows:
     assuming that the point of interest is at least one antenna diameter removed from the center of the
     main beam, the power density at that point is at least a factor of 100 (20 dB) less than the value
     calculated for the equivalent on-axis power density in the main beam. Therefore, for regions at least D
     meters away from the center line of the dish, whether behind, below, or in front under of the antenna's
     main beam, the power density exposure is at least 20 dB below the main beam level as follows:


                                                                                       2
                    PDnf(off-axis) =               PDnf /100 =      0.030     mW/cm at D off axis (6)

     See page 5 for the calculation of the distance vs elevation angle required to achieve this rule for a
     given object height.

     7.0 Region Between the Feed Horn and Sub-reflector
     Transmissions from the feed horn are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are confined within
     a conical shape defined by the feed horn. The energy between the feed horn and subreflector is
     conceded to be in excess of any limits for maximum permissible exposure. This area will not be
     accessible to the general public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as
     a high exposure area. Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted
     or turned off before access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     Note 1:
     Mitigation of the radiation level may take several forms. First, check the distance from the antenna to
     the nearest potentially occupied area that the antenna could be pointed toward, and compare to the
     distances appearing in Sections 2, 3 & 4. If those distances lie within the potentially hazardous
     regions, then the most common solution would be to take steps to insure that the antenna(s) are not
     capable of being pointed at those areas while RF is being transmitted. This may be accomplished by
     setting the tracking system to not allow the antenna be pointed below certain elevation angles. Other
     techniques, such as shielding may also be used effectively.

                           Evaluation of Safe Occupancy Area in Front of Antenna

     The distance (S) from a vertical axis passing through the dish center to a safe off axis location in front
     of the antenna can be determined based on the dish diameter rule (Item 6.0). Assuming a flat terrain in
     front of the antenna, the relationship is:

                    S = (D/sin α) + (2h - D - 2)/(2 tan α)                                           (7)
                       where:     α = minimum elevation angle of antenna
                                  D = dish diameter in meters
                                  h = maximum height of object to be cleared, meters


     For distances equal or greater than determined by equation (7), the radiation hazard will be below safe
     levels for all but the most powerful stations (> 4 kilowatts RF at the feed).

                        For D =         3.8      meters
                            h=           1       meters         Enter clearance height required
                    Then:
                         α               S
                        10             11.1      meters
                        15              7.6      meters
                        20              5.9      meters
                        25              4.9      meters
                        30              4.3      meters
     Specific Elev:    15.1            7.5       meters         Enter minimum elevation angle required
     Specific Elev:    15.1            7.5       meters         Enter maximum elevation angle required

     Suitable fencing or other barrier should be provided to prevent casual occupancy of the area in front of
     the antenna within the limits prescribed above at the lowest elevation angle required.

     1. At the Antenna Surface:
     The power density at the reflector surface can be calculated from the expression:

                    PDrefl =      4P/A =             0.16      mW/cm2                                (1)
                     where:       P = total power at feed, milliwatts
                                  A = Total area of reflector, sq. cm
     In the normal range of transmit powers for satellite antennas, the power densities at or around the
     reflector surface is expected to exceed safe levels. This area will not be accessible to the general
     public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as a high exposure area.
     Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted or turned off before
     access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     2. On-Axis Near Field Region:
     The geometrical limits of the radiated power in the near field approximate a cylindrical volume with a
     diameter equal to that of the antenna. In the near field, the power density is neither uniform nor does
     its value vary uniformly with distance from the antenna. For the purpose of considering radiation
     hazard it is assumed that the on-axis flux density is at its maximum value throughout the length of this
     region. The length of this region, i.e., the distance from the antenna to the end of the near field, is
     computed as Rnf above.

     The maximum power density in the near field is given by:

                    PDnf =        (16 ε P)/(πD2) =                  0.10      mW/cm2                 (2)
                                                                  from 0 to      72         meters

     Evaluation:    Uncontrolled Environment:                  Complies to FCC Limits
                    Controlled Environment:                    Complies to FCC Limits


     3.0 On-Axis Transition Region:
     The transition region is located between the near and far field regions. As stated in Bulletin 65, the
     power density begins to vary inversely with distance in the transition region. The maximum power
     density in the transition region will not exceed that calculated for the near field region, and the
     transition region begins at that value. The maximum value for a given distance within the transition
     region may be computed for the point of interest according to:
                    PDt =         (PDnf)(Rnf)/R =              dependent on R                        (3)
                      where:      PDnf = near field power density
                                  Rnf = near field distance
                                  R = distance to point of interest
                                          For:              72     < R <           172      meters

       Controlled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafec:       1


     4.0 On-Axis Far-Field Region:
      The on- axis power density in the far field region (PDff) varies inversely with the square of the
     distance as follows:

                    PDff =           PG/(4πR2) =                   dependent on R                 (4)
                      where:         P = total power at feed
                                     G = Numeric Antenna gain in the direction of interest
                                            relative to isotropic radiator
                                     R = distance to the point of interest
                                                              For: R > Rff > 172           meters
                                                  PDff =              0.04    mW/cm2 at Rff

     We use Eq (4) to determine the safe on-axis distances required for the two occupancy conditions:

       Controlled Environment Safe Operating Distance,(meters), Rsafec :      See Section 3


     5.0 Off-Axis Levels at the FarField Limit and Beyond

     In the far field region, the power is distributed in a pattern of maxima and minima (sidelobes) as a
     function of the off-axis angle between the antenna center line and the point of interest. Off-axis power
     density in the far field can be estimated using the antenna radiation patterns prescribed for the antenna
     in use. Usually this will correspond to the antenna gain pattern envelope defined by the FCC or the
     ITU, which takes the form of:
                                     Goff = 32 - 25log(Θ)
                    for Θ from 1 to 48 degrees; -10 dBi from 48 to 180 degrees
                    (Applicable for commonly used satellite transmit antennas)
     Considering that satellite antenna beams are aimed skyward, power density in the far field will usually
     not be a problem except at low look angles. In these cases, the off axis gain reduction may be used to
     further reduce the power density levels.
     For example: At one (1) degree off axis At the far-field limit, we can calculate the power density as:
     Goff = 32 - 25log(1) = 32 - 0 dBi = 1585 numeric

                    PD1 deg off-axis =         PDff x 1585/G =      0.0019    mW/cm2                (5)

     6.0 Off-Axis power density in the Near Field and Transitional Regions
     According to Bulletin 65, off-axis calculations in the near field may be performed as follows:
     assuming that the point of interest is at least one antenna diameter removed from the center of the
     main beam, the power density at that point is at least a factor of 100 (20 dB) less than the value
     calculated for the equivalent on-axis power density in the main beam. Therefore, for regions at least D
     meters away from the center line of the dish, whether behind, below, or in front under of the antenna's
     main beam, the power density exposure is at least 20 dB below the main beam level as follows:


                                                                                       2
                    PDnf(off-axis) =              PDnf /100 =       0.001     mW/cm at D off axis (6)

     See page 5 for the calculation of the distance vs elevation angle required to achieve this rule for a
     given object height.

     7.0 Region Between the Feed Horn and Sub-reflector
     Transmissions from the feed horn are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are confined within
     a conical shape defined by the feed horn. The energy between the feed horn and subreflector is
     conceded to be in excess of any limits for maximum permissible exposure. This area will not be
     accessible to the general public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as
     a high exposure area. Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted
     or turned off before access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     Note 1:
     Mitigation of the radiation level may take several forms. First, check the distance from the antenna to
     the nearest potentially occupied area that the antenna could be pointed toward, and compare to the
     distances appearing in Sections 2, 3 & 4. If those distances lie within the potentially hazardous
     regions, then the most common solution would be to take steps to insure that the antenna(s) are not
     capable of being pointed at those areas while RF is being transmitted. This may be accomplished by
     setting the tracking system to not allow the antenna be pointed below certain elevation angles. Other
     techniques, such as shielding may also be used effectively.

                           Evaluation of Safe Occupancy Area in Front of Antenna

     The distance (S) from a vertical axis passing through the dish center to a safe off axis location in front
     of the antenna can be determined based on the dish diameter rule (Item 6.0). Assuming a flat terrain in
     front of the antenna, the relationship is:

                    S = (D/sin α) + (2h - D - 2)/(2 tan α)                                           (7)
                       where:     α = minimum elevation angle of antenna
                                  D = dish diameter in meters
                                  h = maximum height of object to be cleared, meters


     For distances equal or greater than determined by equation (7), the radiation hazard will be below safe
     levels for all but the most powerful stations (> 4 kilowatts RF at the feed).

                        For D =           3.8     meters
                            h=             1      meters        Enter clearance height required
                    Then:
                         α                  S
                        10                11.1    meters
                        15                 7.6    meters

                        30                 4.3    meters
     Specific Elev:     9.6               11.6    meters        Enter minimum elevation angle required
     Specific Elev:     9.6               11.6    meters        Enter maximum elevation angle required

     Suitable fencing or other barrier should be provided to prevent casual occupancy of the area in front of
     the antenna within the limits prescribed above at the lowest elevation angle required.

                                       2.4 Meter to E115WB C-Band

     This analysis predicts the radiation levels around a proposed earth station complex, comprised of one
     or more aperture (reflector) type antennas. This report is developed in accordance with the prediction
     methods contained in OET Bulletin No. 65, "Evaluating Compliance with FCC Guidelines for Human
     Exposure to Radio Frequency Electromagnetic Fields," Edition 97-01, pp 26-30. The maximum level
     of non-ionizing radiation to which employees may be exposed is limited to a power density level of 5
     milliwatts per square centimeter (5 mW/cm2) averaged over any 6 minute period in a controlled
     environment and the maximum level of non-ionizing radiation to which the general public is exposed
                                                                                       2
     is limited to a power density level of 1 milliwatt per square centimeter (1 mW/cm ) averaged over any
     30 minute period in a uncontrolled evironment. Note that the worse-case radiation hazards exist along
     the beam axis. Under normal circumstances, it is highly unlikely that the antenna axis will be aligned
     with any occupied area since that would represent a blockage to the desired signals, thus rendering the
     link unuseable.
     The parameters which determine the radiation levels for the proposed earth station antenna site

     1. At the Antenna Surface:
     The power density at the reflector surface can be calculated from the expression:

                    PDrefl =      4P/A =             1.58      mW/cm2                                (1)
                     where:       P = total power at feed, milliwatts
                                  A = Total area of reflector, sq. cm
     In the normal range of transmit powers for satellite antennas, the power densities at or around the
     reflector surface is expected to exceed safe levels. This area will not be accessible to the general
     public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as a high exposure area.
     Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted or turned off before
     access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     2. On-Axis Near Field Region:
     The geometrical limits of the radiated power in the near field approximate a cylindrical volume with a
     diameter equal to that of the antenna. In the near field, the power density is neither uniform nor does
     its value vary uniformly with distance from the antenna. For the purpose of considering radiation
     hazard it is assumed that the on-axis flux density is at its maximum value throughout the length of this
     region. The length of this region, i.e., the distance from the antenna to the end of the near field, is
     computed as Rnf above.

     The maximum power density in the near field is given by:

     3.0 On-Axis Transition Region:
     The transition region is located between the near and far field regions. As stated in Bulletin 65, the
     power density begins to vary inversely with distance in the transition region. The maximum power
     density in the transition region will not exceed that calculated for the near field region, and the
     transition region begins at that value. The maximum value for a given distance within the transition
     region may be computed for the point of interest according to:
                    PDt =         (PDnf)(Rnf)/R =              dependent on R                        (3)
                      where:      PDnf = near field power density
                                  Rnf = near field distance
                                  R = distance to point of interest

      The on- axis power density in the far field region (PDff) varies inversely with the square of the
     distance as follows:

                                                 PDff =               0.43    mW/cm2 at Rff

     5.0 Off-Axis Levels at the FarField Limit and Beyond

     In the far field region, the power is distributed in a pattern of maxima and minima (sidelobes) as a
     function of the off-axis angle between the antenna center line and the point of interest. Off-axis power
     density in the far field can be estimated using the antenna radiation patterns prescribed for the antenna
     in use. Usually this will correspond to the antenna gain pattern envelope defined by the FCC or the
     ITU, which takes the form of:
                                     Goff = 32 - 25log(Θ)
                    for Θ from 1 to 48 degrees; -10 dBi from 48 to 180 degrees
                    (Applicable for commonly used satellite transmit antennas)
     Considering that satellite antenna beams are aimed skyward, power density in the far field will usually
     not be a problem except at low look angles. In these cases, the off axis gain reduction may be used to
     further reduce the power density levels.
     For example: At one (1) degree off axis At the far-field limit, we can calculate the power density as:
     Goff = 32 - 25log(1) = 32 - 0 dBi = 1585 numeric

                    PD1 deg off-axis =         PDff x 1585/G =     0.0476     mW/cm2               (5)

     6.0 Off-Axis power density in the Near Field and Transitional Regions
     According to Bulletin 65, off-axis calculations in the near field may be performed as follows:
     assuming that the point of interest is at least one antenna diameter removed from the center of the
     main beam, the power density at that point is at least a factor of 100 (20 dB) less than the value
     calculated for the equivalent on-axis power density in the main beam. Therefore, for regions at least
     D meters away from the center line of the dish, whether behind, below, or in front under of the
     antenna's main beam, the power density exposure is at least 20 dB below the main beam level as
     follows:

                                                                                      2
                    PDnf(off-axis) =              PDnf /100 =      0.010      mW/cm at D off axis (6)

     See page 5 for the calculation of the distance vs elevation angle required to achieve this rule for a
     given object height.

     7.0 Region Between the Feed Horn and Sub-reflector
     Transmissions from the feed horn are directed toward the subreflector surface, and are confined
     within a conical shape defined by the feed horn. The energy between the feed horn and subreflector is
     conceded to be in excess of any limits for maximum permissible exposure. This area will not be
     accessible to the general public. Operators and technicians will receive training specifying this area as
     a high exposure area. Procedures must be established that will assure that all transmitters are rerouted
     or turned off before access by maintenance personnel to this area is possible.


     Note 1:
     Mitigation of the radiation level may take several forms. First, check the distance from the antenna to
     the nearest potentially occupied area that the antenna could be pointed toward, and compare to the
     distances appearing in Sections 2, 3 & 4. If those distances lie within the potentially hazardous
     regions, then the most common solution would be to take steps to insure that the antenna(s) are not
     capable of being pointed at those areas while RF is being transmitted. This may be accomplished by
     setting the tracking system to not allow the antenna be pointed below certain elevation angles. Other
     techniques, such as shielding may also be used effectively.

                          Evaluation of Safe Occupancy Area in Front of Antenna

     The distance (S) from a vertical axis passing through the dish center to a safe off axis location in front
     of the antenna can be determined based on the dish diameter rule (Item 6.0). Assuming a flat terrain in
     front of the antenna, the relationship is:

                    S = (D/sin α) + (2h - D - 2)/(2 tan α)                                          (7)
                       where:     α = minimum elevation angle of antenna
                                  D = dish diameter in meters
                                  h = maximum height of object to be cleared, meters


     For distances equal or greater than determined by equation (7), the radiation hazard will be below safe
     levels for all but the most powerful stations (> 4 kilowatts RF at the feed).

                        For D =        2.4      meters
                            h=          1       meters         Enter clearance height required
                    Then:
                        α               S
                        10             7.0      meters
                        15             4.8      meters
                        20             3.7      meters
                        25             3.1      meters
                        30             2.7      meters
     Specific Elev:     15             4.8      meters         Enter minimum elevation angle required
     Specific Elev:     15             4.8      meters         Enter maximum elevation angle required

     Suitable fencing or other barrier should be provided to prevent casual occupancy of the area in front of
     the antenna within the limits prescribed above at the lowest elevation angle required.
