EIRP. The required earth station Equivalent Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP) per carrier is a function of the following: (1) the satellite receiver sensitivity (G/T). (2) the outage margin provided. (3) the location of the transmit and receive earth stations within the uplink and downlink beams, and. (4) the loading of the transponder (i.e., the number, type and frequency assignment of the various carriers within the transponder). Earth stations within the reference uplink gain contour shown in Figure 1 must be capable of transmitting the maximum clear sky uplink EIRP levels given in Table 2. The actual uplink EIRP for a given earth station and carrier type will be established by Alpha Lyracom in consultation with the user. In general, the actual operating EIRP for most earth station locations will be 2-to-4 dB lower than the values listed in Table 2. 28 -B3- Unless otherwise agreed by Alpha Lyracom in customer's service agreement, earth stations that lie outside of the reference uplink contour must be capable of transmitting maximum carrier EIRPs greater than those shown in Table 2. The required maximum carrier EIRPs for earth stations which lie outside of the reference uplink contour will be determined by Alpha Lyracom on a case-by-case basis.

The required maximum carrier EIRPs for earth stations which lie outside of the reference uplink contour will be determined by Alpha Lyracom on a case-by-case basis.. In determining the HPA size for a given earth station, it is necessary not only for the user's earth station to meet the maximum EIRP requirements for each 26 -B4-
