Even Single SpaceX Beam Is Interference Problem: Dish

It's clear SpaceX would need multiple satellite co-frequency beams simultaneously in the same area to meet demand (see 2103240009), and a Dish Network-commissioned study shows that even if it used one beam at a time, it would exceed ITU and FCC equivalent power flux density limits in the 12 GHz band for some antenna sizes, said Dish in an FCC docket 20-443 filing Thursday that included a study by satellite engineer Marc Dupuis of Telecomm Strategies. Dish said EPFD interference would hurt Dish customers. Dupuis said the study, using software modeling to look at Dish terminals around the U.S., is based on "characteristics, configuration and technical elements" that SpaceX offered as part of its license modification request pending before the FCC. SpaceX didn't comment.
