Who are "these people"? The FCC or the satellite earth station people?
The FCC describes an alternative for determining a safe distance for locating a station with in an FSS protection zone in Appendix D of the Report and Order authorizing the 3.65 - 3.70 GHz band. You can read the full document here: http://hraunfoss.fcc.gov/edocs_public/attachmatch/FCC-05-56A1.pdf This is the intro to the appendix. ********* APPENDIX D: A Methodology For Locating Fixed Stations Within The FSS Earth Station Protection Zone The rules adopted herein require that fixed stations in the 3650-3700 MHz band be located at least 150 km from any grandfathered FSS earth station unless all affected licensees agree on closer spacing. Below, we present as an example, one methodology that can be used to determine a safe distance within the FSS earth station protection zone where a fixed station can be located without increasing the potential of that station to cause harmful interference to the earth station. We reiterate that this is being presented only as an example of one methodology. We recognize that there are many methods for providing the required protection, such as locating the fixed station behind an obstruction, and that licensees are free to propose any method they deem appropriate. ********* I would assume that you could use this method to calculate the safe distance for operating at 3.65GHz and present it to the FCC and the FSS earth station operator. I will need to do this for my WiMAX deployment which will have two mountain ranges between the WiMAX network and the earth station.
