  • include coverage of South America from the Galaxy XI spacecraft. We note that DISCO I changed the policy that previously limited domestic fixed-satellites from providing international service. The new policy, instead, eliminated the distinction between U.S.-licensed domestic fixed-satellites and international separate system satellites. Therefore, Galaxy XI may serve South America in this situation, subject to the usual requirements of § 25.211 concerning international coordination and the requirement to comply with applicable laws regulations, rules, and licensing procedures in the countries it wishes to serve. IV. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSES 12. As set forth above, PanAmSat possesses the requisite legal, financial, and technical qualifications to construct, launch and operate the Galaxy XI satellite.

On JCSAT-3, the polarization planes are rotated counterclockwise by 22( relative to the requirement of § 25.210 (a) (1). The intent of the C-band polarization requirements is to minimize the interference potential when analog video transmissions meet the center-frequency constraints of § 25.211 (a) and neighboring satellites are orthogonally polarized for co-channel analog video transmissions. In the situation where digital signals of uniform power spectral density (i.e., without the spectral density peaks characteristic of analog transmissions) are being transmitted in both polarizations, the interference potential into a neighboring satellite's network is not dependent on the angle of the polarization planes relative to the

New Skies also acknowledges that a satellite licensed to Intelsat is licensed at 20° W.L., less than two-degrees away from the 21.5° W.L. orbit location. New Skies requests waivers of these rules and the Commission's two-degree spacing framework. Rules may be waived if there is ``good cause'' to do so.

For the Ku-band, Loral further proposes to use 130-watt TWTAs for the 110-watt TWTAs originally authorized, and increase the Ku-band e.i.r.p. by 2 dBW. Loral states that these C- and Ka-band modifications will not cause any unacceptable interference into adjacent satellites that cannot be successfully addressed through normal inter-system coordination, or compliance with Section 25.211 of the Commission's rules in the case of analog transmissions. Loral indicates that these changes will provide increased configuration flexibility to meet customer requirements and permit more efficient use of satellite power.

Similarly, the Commission adopted antenna diameter and performance requirements, and power restrictions to ensure that earth stations communicating with satellites at two-degree orbital separations would not cause unacceptable interference to adjacent satellite systems using the same frequency bands. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.134, 25.209, 25.211, and 25.212. See Declaratory Order, 2 FCC Rcd 2149 (Com. Car. Bur., 1987), cited in 47 C.F.R. § 25.134.)

  • Section 25.210(i)'s cross-polarization isolation requirement facilitates two-degree orbital spacing between geostationary satellites, which is a cornerstone of the Commission's satellite licensing policies. This policy permits the maximum use of the geostationary orbit. The Commission, however, adopted the cross-polarization isolation requirement in an environment where satellites were predominantly using analog transmissions. Along with the C-band analog video frequency plan of Section 25.211(a) and the polarization switchability requirement of Section 25.210(c), the cross- polarization requirement serves to minimize the interference between adjacent satellites when both are carrying analog video signals with highly peaked spectra. In addition, the cross polarization requirement serves to limit the level of self-interference, thus assuring that operators do not allocate an inordinate proportion of the interference budget to themselves.

  • level per Carrier as 81.30 dBW for analog emission designator 36M0F8W. By subtracting the 51.8 dBi gain listed in response to item E41/42, this corresponds to a 29.5 dBW maximum input power at the antenna flange for this carrier. This value exceeds the limit of 26.5 dBW for the maximum input power per Carrier into the antenna pursuant to Section 25.211(d)(1) of the Commission's rules, 47 C.F.R. § 25.211(d)(1). Therefore, ALSAT-designated satellites are not appropriate as a point of communication for this emission and SES Americom must identify specific satellites as its point of communication.

  • Ku-band is 1.2 meters in diameter. See Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 ¶ 20. The size of the earth station antenna is important since, in general, smaller antennas produce wider transmission beams, which, in turn, can create more potential interference to adjacent satellite operations. See 47 C.F.R. §§ 25.134 (VSAT networks), 25.211 (video transmissions), 25.212 (narrowband transmissions). See also Part 25 Earth Station Streamlining Fifth Report and Order, 20 FCC Rcd at 5676 ¶ 20. Reducing the diameter of an earth station antenna increases the side lobes. Reducing the transmit power of the earth station reduces the off-axis EIRP, however, and so can compensate for the reduction in antenna diameter. See Part

Along with the C-band analog video frequency plan of Section 25.211(a) and the polarization switchability requirement of Section 25.210(c), the cross-polarization requirement serves to minimize the interference between adjacent satellites when both are carrying analog video signals that have highly varying (peaked) power density levels.

We expect that routine processing will be possible for CSAT networks that meet the antenna performance standards in our present Section 25.209, and do not exceed the power levels specified in our present Sections 25.211(d) and 25.212(d). Applications seeking to exceed these limits will be required to include a technical analysis demonstrating an ability to operate on a non-interference basis to adjacent fixed-satellite services or to provide a certification from the satellite operator that this operation has been successfully coordinated with adjacent satellite operators. We anticipate revisiting these rules in an earth station streamlining proceeding

The new policy, instead, eliminated the distinction between U.S.-licensed domestic fixed-satellites and international separate system satellites. Therefore, Galaxy XI may serve South America in this situation, subject to the usual requirements of § 25.211 concerning international coordination and the requirement to comply with applicable laws regulations, rules, and licensing procedures in the countries it wishes to serve. IV. CONCLUSION AND ORDERING CLAUSES 12. As set forth above, PanAmSat possesses the requisite legal, financial, and technical qualifications to construct, launch and operate the Galaxy XI satellite.

On JCSAT-3, the polarization planes are rotated counterclockwise by 22( relative to the requirement of § 25.210 (a) (1). The intent of the C-band polarization requirements is to minimize the interference potential when analog video transmissions meet the center-frequency constraints of § 25.211 (a) and neighboring satellites are orthogonally polarized for co-channel analog video transmissions. In the situation where digital signals of uniform power spectral density (i.e., without the spectral density peaks characteristic of analog transmissions) are being transmitted in both polarizations, the interference potential into a neighboring satellite's network is not dependent on the angle of the polarization planes relative to the
