  and Ground
Far Field Off Axis (WF)                            0.053 mW/cm sq           Meets ANSI Requirements
Near Field Off Axis (WN)                           0.131 mW/cm sq           Meets ANSI Requirements

Conclusion: Based on the above analysis, harmful areas of radiation do exist in areas around the
antenna and in the path of the antenna toward the satellite at which it is pointed. The area occupied by the
general public will not exceed the ANSI limit of 1 mW cm sq. because the antenna is mounted on top of a
building, which does not have access by the general public. The areas on the ground and behind the
antenna are 100 times less power (20 dB) when at a min. of the dia. of the reflector, this is reflected in the
Off Axis figures as seen above (WF) & (WN).
The antenna area will be marked with the standard radiation hazard warnings, and on the antenna itself.
The warning signs will warn personnel to avoid the area around and in front of the reflector when the
transmitter is operating. To ensure compliance with safety limits, the earth station transmitter will be turned
off and marked to remain off whenever maintenance and repair personnel are required to work in the
areas of potential hazard as defined in the above study. Additionally, the earth station personnel will be
trained to insure that the antenna path is clear at all times while the transmitter is in operation.
