In September of 2000, AT&T Wireless requested approval to install 6 wireless antennas and the required utility boxes at 7512 Cadencia Street (CUP 00-36). In October 2001, the City denied the
request. Thereafter, AT&T filed suit in the United States District Court alleging that the City
unlawfully denied the application. The U.S. District Court ruled in February 2003 that the City did in
fact not have a basis supported by substantial evidence to deny the application. The court's ruling
overturned the City's denial of the Conditional Use Permit and remanded the matter to the City to
allow AT&T to install the requested wireless equipment at 7512 Cadencia Street.
However, on June 19, 2003, AT&T Wireless Services requested approval for an alternative location
at SDG&E Tower 173 (CUP 03-22). The City Council held a public hearing on August 19, 2003 and
after consideration of all public testimony directed the City Attorney to prepare documents denying
the request.
Prior to the City Council adopting a resolution denying the AT&T Wireless Services application (CUP
03-22), the Council moved to reopen the August 19, 2003 hearing so that ownership information of
the underlying property can be updated and additional wireless services coverage information may
be considered.
At the time the AT&T Wireless Services application was submitted, the property was being held by
the bankruptcy court. Since that time, the property has been sold by the bankruptcy court to Monica
and Ivan Jellinek, on behalf of several of the adjacent homeowners. The current property owners
have not authorized submittal of an application for a wireless facility on this property.
CompComm, a wireless communications engineering consulting firm, was hired by the City to
conduct a search of locations within the Rancho Santa Fe Road vicinity to determine potential
locations for the installation of wireless facilities that could adequately serve the Rancho Santa Fe
Road corridor. Several locations were identified by CompComm and are listed in Exhibit 2, on file in
the City Clerk's office.

Section I - Introduction & Background
Comp Comm, Inc. (“Comp Comm”) is a wireless engineering consulting firm which has been designing,
building and analyzing wireless networks since 1975. Comp Corn has been retained by the City of
Carlsbad, CA (“Carlsbad”) to review materials submitted by AT&T Wireless Services (“AWS”) in their
applications for a new wireless communications facilities site in the southeast section of the city, and to
research and analyze potential alternative sites.
The relevant AWS applications have been for sites at the San Diego Gas & Electric high tension tower
#173 (SDG&E #173) and at the residence at 7512 Cadencia St. (“Cadencia”). The status and history of
these applications is a matter of public record, and, for simplicity and brevity, will not be recounted here.
Comp Comm has been specifically requested by Carlsbad to review the AWS submissions and:
1. Verify or refute their claim of a coverage gap in the Cadencia area.
2. Identify alternative sites that could potentially serve to cover any verified gap.
3. Perfom propagation analyses of these potential alternate sites.
4. Render an opinion as to which sites might also address the coverage needs of AWS.
It must be kept in mind that our expertise is in the area of radiofrequency (RF) engineering, so our
analysis is limited to what sites could provide signal coverage in those identified areas, i.e. what RF
coverage could technically be achieved from these sites. Our analysis does not account for the ability (or
not) to obtain a viable lease for the sites nor does it cover issues such as structural viability of the sites, or
other potential constraints (access, environmental, etc.).
Summary of Conclusions
AWS does appear to have a coverage gap in two areas:
1. Sections of what we refer to as the La Costa Valley (defined below).
2. Sections of Rancho Santa Fe Rd.
The proposed Cadencia site would cover the La Costa Valley gap but not all the relevant areas of
Rancho Santa Fe Rd. A second site would likely be needed to provide complete coverage of these
areas.
The proposed SDG&E #173 site should, by itself, provide coverage to both these gap areas.
The only alternative single site that would likely cover both gap areas is SDG&E #174.
There are combinations of two sites that together should provide coverage of both these gap areas,
and some of these sites are “preferred” under the guidelines of City Council Policy Statement #64.

Section I1 - Technical Analysis
Comp Comm reviewed select technical materials submitted by AWS as part of their applications as well
as other materials in the public record (such as the Wireless Site Evaluation Report developed by
Jonathan Krarner, dated September 17, 2002), and further materials provided by the city (e.g. zoning
maps, copies of City Council Policy Statement #fA on Wireless Communication Facilities). Comp Comm
then visited Carlsbad on November 8-11, 2003 to conduct field research which included driving the
general area, visiting the AWS proposed sites, looking for alternative sites and collecting information
(location, ground elevation photos, etc.) on these potential alternative sites. Propagation studies for select
sites were created using the parameters discussed below and the results analyzed. Details and results are
as follows:
1. Existence of AWS Coverage Gap
2. Coverage from Proposed SDG&E #173 Site
3. Coverage from Proposed Cadencia Site
4. Analysis of Alternative Sites
Existence of Coverage Gap
Normally, to analyze a licensee’s coverage of an area (and any gaps), we would gather information on the
licensee’s existing sites and facilities and then create our own composite propagation study of the area
network. This would then be analyzed and compared to the licensee’s propagation studies. However, in
this case, we were not able to obtain information on AWS’s local area system and so were only able to
analyze the propagation studies they submitted in the application process. These studies are included in
this report as Attachment 2 & 3. Attachment 2 shows what AWS claims would be their area coverage
with their existing sites (2 in the area: AWS site numbers “SD437” and “SD383”) plus SDG&E #174.
Attachment 3 shows what AWS claim would be their area coverage’with their existing sites plus
Cadencia. Extrapolating from these studies and based on our experience in designing cellular networks,
these studies appear “reasonable” in their results. We would conclude that it is likely that AWS does
indeed have coverage gaps in two areas in this vicinity:
1. The area we call the La Costa Valley (defined as the valley containing the La Costa Country Club
east to the neighborhood surrounding Cadencia St., west to approaching El Camino Real, south to the
bluff just south of La Costa Ave., and north to the Alicante Rd. neighborhood.
2. Sections of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. from north of Melrose Drive south to Olivenhain Rd.
We would repeat the caveat that because we’ve not been able to verify whether there are other AWS sites
in the area (including perhaps in neighboring towns) providing signal which are not shown in these

studies, and we don’t have the exact operating parameters for these sites, we are unable to make a more
concrete assessment.
Coverage from Proposed SDG&E #173 Site
Attachment 2 shows AWS’ predicted coverage including the SDG&E #173 tower. Attachment 4 shows
Comp Comm’s propagation study for this site (Site #l). Attachment 1 provides details of the parameters
of this site.
Both these studies show that this site would provide good to excellent coverage of almost all of the La
Costa Valley area and a long stretch of Ranch Santa Fe Rd., from just below the curve near San Ellio Rd.
south to and including large sections of Olivenhain Rd. There are still gaps on Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in
the La Costa Meadows/Melrose Drive area (the northern section of the area of concern) that remain
uncovered and would likely, at some point, require an additional site to provide “seamless7’ Rancho Santa
Fe Rd. coverage, but this would likely be to the north of the existing sites or a “microcell” to cover that
little valley area. [Because this area is not covered by any of the sites under consideration in this report,
and under all circumstances coverage here would require an additional site as described above, it will be
excluded from the discussion of the other sites, below.]
Thus, this site on its own significantly covers both the La Costa Valley and the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap
areas discussed above.
Coverape from Proposed Cadencia Site
Attachment 3 shows AWS’ predicted coverage including the Cadencia site (but excluding the SDG&E
#173 site). Attachment 5 shows Comp Comm’s propagation study for this site (Site #2). Attachment 1
provides details of the parameters of this site.
Both these studies show that this site would provide good to excellent coverage of almost all of the La
Costa Valley area and significant stretches of Ranch Santa Fe Rd. similar to SDG&E #173. However, it
would likely not provide adequate coverage of the section or Rancho Santa Fe Rd. just at the intersection
with La Costa Ave. nor as good coverage of the Olivenhain Rd. area.
Thus, this site would Zikeb necessitate an additional site to significantly cover both the La Costa Valley
and the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap areas discussed above, in particular to cover the intersection of Rancho
Santa Fe Rd. and La Costa Ave.

Analysis of Alternative Sites
Attachment 1 shows a more detailed description of the 11 sites analyzed as possible alternatives to the
AWS proposed sites. Each of these sites is discussed individually below. Five additional sites are
included on this list as they were discussed, but they were excluded from our detailed analysis because of
the existence of “better” sites (those higher on the list).
The following sites were analyzed as possible alternatives to the Cadencia site:
1. Site 3A, Attachment 6: AWS Primary “SD-157A”
This site is located on the grounds on the La Costa Resort, on the western edge of the golf
course. This site was originally evaluated by AWS and was their “preferred” site, but they state
they were unable to successfully contact the property owners to discuss lease arrangements. This
site has the added benefit of being in a commercial zone, a “preferred” location per Policy
Statement #64.
This site provides excellent coverage of the La Costa Valley area, but only small sections of the
Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area. A second site would likely be needed to cover the remaining
Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap areas.
2. Site 3B, Attachment 7: SDG&E #174
This site is located between the Cadencia site and SDG&E #173, slightly above Cadencia and
slightly below SDG&E #173. This site is in the same residential neighborhood as both Cadencia
and SDG&E #173.
This site provides excellent coverage of both the La Costa Valley area, and approximately the
same Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area as SDG&E #173. Thus, this site on its own significantly
covers both the La Costa Valley and the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap areas discussed above, and can
be considered comparable (effectively interchangeable) with the SDG&E #173 site.
3. Site 3C, Attachment 8: High Tension Monopole, NE Corner, La Costa Ave. & El Camino
Real
This site is’ located on the grounds on the NE Comer of La Costa Ave. & El Camino Real, in the
parking lot of the Albertson’s supermarket. This site has the added benefit of being in a
commercial zone, a “preferred” location per Policy Statement #64.

COMP COMM, Inc. for City of Carlsbad, CA: Analvsis of Alternate Sites for AWS Wireless Facilities p. 6 of 20
This site provides excellent coverage of the La Costa Valley area, and good coverage of almost
all relevant sections of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area. A second site might be added to
improve coverage east of Rancho Santa Fe Rd.
4. Site 3D, Attachment 9: High Tension Monopole, SE Corner, La Costa Ave. & El Camino
Real
This site is located on the grounds on the SE Comer of La Costa Ave. & El Camino Real, on the
ridge east of and above the La Costa Town Center complex.
This site provides excellent coverage of the La Costa Valley area, and good coverage of almost
all relevant sections of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area. Coverage is slightly better along
Rancho Santa Fe Rd. with this site vs. Site 3C. However, access to the site might be much more
difficult as it is on a ridge. Furthermore, while it appears this site is in a commercial zone, this
site overlooks (is visible from) the residential area to its east.
5. Site 3E, Attachment 10: SDG&E Tower #181
This site is located between El Camino Real and Del Mar Rd. just south of Alga Rd., in the
Estrella Del Mar/Del Mar residential development.
This site provides good to excellent coverage of much of the La Costa Valley area, but
effectively none of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area. A second site would likely be needed to
cover the remaining Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap areas. This site is also less desirable per Policy
Statement #64 because, though it is an existing structure, it is located in a residential area.
The following sites were analyzed as possible alternatives to provide coverage along the Rancho
Santa Fe Rd. gap area:
1. Site 4A, Attachment 11 : SDG&E Tower #170
This site is the second tower east of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in the same chain of towers as #173. It
is located on a small hill crest.
This site provides excellent coverage of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area and significant
sections of the La Costa Valley area, but a gap remains in the area in the Cadencia neighborhood
just west of the Cadencia site. Thus, a second site (perhaps a micro cell) might be needed to
cover the small, remaining La Costa Valley gap area. This area is currently undeveloped but
appears it is being prepared for a residential development.

p. 7 of 20
Site 4B, Attachment 12: SDG&E Tower #171
This site is the first tower east of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in the same chain of towers as #173.
Like Site 4A, this site provides excellent coverage of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area and
significant sections of the La Costa Valley area, but a gap remains in the area in the Cadencia
neighborhood just west of the Cadencia site. Thus, a second site (perhaps a micro cell) might be
needed to cover the small, remaining La Costa Valley gap area. This area is currently
undeveloped but appears it is being prepared for a residential development.
3. Site 4C, Attachment 13: SDG&E Tower #172
This site is the first tower west of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in the same chain of towers as #173.
Like Site 4A, this site provides excellent coverage of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area and
significant sections of the La Costa Valley area, but a gap remains in the area in the Cadencia
neighborhood just west of the Cadencia site. Thus, a second site (perhaps a micro cell) might be
needed to cover the small, remaining La Costa Valley gap area. This site is in the same
residential neighborhood as SDG&E #173, but access to the site could be from Rancho Santa Fe
Rd., eliminating truck travel through the residential neighborhood.
4. Site 4D, Attachment 14: High Tension Monopole, E. of Rancho Santa Fe Rd.
This site is the first tower east of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. in a chain of monopole towers
approximately .65 miles north of the chain of SDG&E towers including #173.
This site provides good coverage of large sections of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area, but there
is a gap around the intersection with La Costa Ave. Additional gaps remain in the La Costa
Valley area, including parts of the Cadencia neighborhood and south of La Costa Ave. Thus, a
second site would likely be needed to cover the remaining gap areas. This area is currently
undeveloped but appears it is being prepared for a residential development.
5. Site 4E, Attachment 15: NE corner of La Costa Ave. & Rancho Santa Fe Rd.
This site is the commercial zone, at the northeast comer of La Costa Ave. & Rancho Santa Fe
Rd. This site is currently undeveloped but it is believed it is slated to be developed as a retail
center in the next few years.
This site provides excellent coverage of both the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area and almost all of
the La Costa Valley area; there is only a very small gap surrounding the Sea Pointe Tennis Club

which could be served by a microcell. This site is in a commercially zoned area, which is a
“preferred” location per Policy Statement #64.
We can extrapolate that a site located in the commercial zone to the southeast comer of this
intersection (i.e. the Sav-On Drug retail area) would cover a similar but slightly smaller area
(with bigger gaps, especially in the La Costa Valley) as it has a lower ground elevation than Site
4E. The advantage to a facility at the Sav-on site is that it is an existing commercial development
and other licensees are already approved and/or located at this site
6. Site 4F, Attachment 16: Fire Station #6
This site is the planned City Fire Station #6, just east of Rancho Santa Fe Rd., approximately one
mile north of the intersection with La Costa Ave.
This site provides excellent coverage of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. gap area with only a very small
gap just south of the intersection with La Costa Ave. Coverage of the La Costa Valley area is
also excellent except, again, a small .gap in parts of the Cadencia neighborhood and south of La
Costa Ave (smaller gaps than for sites 4A-4D).
Section 111 - Conclusions
Based on our analysis of their propagation studies, AWS appears currently to have significant gap area
including the La Costa Valley area and along Rancho Santa Fe Rd., in the general area from Olivenhain
Rd. to just south of the La Costa Meadows Industrial Park area. Therefore, provided their submissions
are accurate, AWS has a demonstrated need for an additional site or sites in this area.
Sinele Site Coverage
AWS proposed site SDG&E #173 (Site #1) would likely provide good to excellent coverage to both the
gap areas of interest to this study. The only other single site that would likely provide comparable
coverage is SDG&E #174 (Site #3B). Both of these sites are existing utility structures, which is
“preferred”, but both are also located in the same residential neighborhood, which is considered
“discouraged”, according to Policy Statement #64.
All other alternatives for covering these gap areas would necessitate two sites, although one of those two
might be a “microcell” in some instances.
Dual Site Coverage
There are a number of combinations of two sites which would likely provide good to excellent coverage
of both the gap areas of interest to this study. Almost any combination of a Cadencia alternative site and

a Rancho Santa Fe alternative site would provide coverage of the whole area of concern (Le. gap area
coverage comparable to or better than SDG&E #173). However, because some of these sites are
“preferred” over others based on Policy Statement #64, some combinations would be preferable over
others according to the City, and still meet the coverage objectives desired by AWS.
Of the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. alternatives, Fire Station #6 (Site 4F) could be considered an “even more
preferred” site because it is on property owned by the City, construction is slated to begin shortly, and the
City has stated they are willing to accommodate wireless carriers on the site. This site combined with the
commercial zone at the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. and La Costa Ave. (either Site 4E or the Sav-
On site) would provide coverage to the gap areas. Fire Station #6 (Site 4F) could also be combined with
AWS Primary “SD-l57A”, the La Costa Resort site (Site 3A), or either monopole at the intersection of
La Costa Ave. and El Camino Real (Sites 3C and 3D, both commercial sites, although, for reasons
discussed above, 3C might be preferred). Any of these combinations of sites would provide coverage of
the gap areas using “preferred” sites.
The commercial zone at the intersection of Rancho Santa Fe Rd. and La Costa Ave. (Site 4E) could be
combined with Sites 3A, 3C or 3D to provide coverage of the gap areas using ‘‘preferred” sites.
Sites 3C, 3D, 4E and perhaps Sites 4A-4C7 when combined with a “microcell” either along Rancho Santa
Fe Rd. (for Sites 3C & 3D) or in the Cadencia neighborhood (for sites 4E and perhaps 4A-4C) could also
adequately cover the coverage gaps discussed above.
Therefore, base on our analysis, our conclusion must be that while both the proposed Cadencia and
SDG&E #173 sites do a good job of adding coverage in the gap areas identified, both these sites are
in “discouraged” areas according to Policy Statement #64. Furthermore, the Cadencia site would
likely necessitate an additional site to fully cover the Rancho Santa Fe Rd. area. Other
combinations of two sites could address the gap areas as well as or better than these sites, and be
“preferred” according to Policy Statement #64.
We must again add the caveat that our expertise is in the area of radiofrequency (RF) engineering, so our
analysis has been limited to where the radio signals extend and what sites could provide signal coverage
in those identified areas. Our analysis does not account for the ability (or not) to obtain a viable lease for
the sites nor does it cover issues such as structural viability of the sites, or other potential constraints
(access, environmental, etc.). Failure to meet the necessary requirements of any of these conditions could
potentially disqualify a site.

APPENDIX I - Propagation Fundamentals
Cellular and Personal Communications Systems (PCS) operate by sending a signal from a transmitting
antenna to a mobile unit, which transmits back a response to the base station. The transmitted signal
travels by spreading out from the source antenna, or propagating, through the air. There are multiple
sites in an area and the mobile unit “hands off’ from one site to the next as it travels. The coverage of
one site should overlap the coverage of the neighboring site to facilitate this hand off. If there is no
overlap, the call will drop and the customer will be dissatisfied.
The main issues in the design stage are single site coverage and system coverage. For example, if each
cell site can provide coverage out to ten miles in all directions before a call is dropped and the towers are
twenty-five miles apart, there is a five-mile coverage hole in the system. Each site may be providing
excellent coverage in its ten-mile radius, but outside that limit there is no coverage. This is an example
of good single site coverage but poor system coverage.
Cell sites rarely, if ever, provide such geographically symmetrical coverage. The real world presents too
many problems to a radio signal trymg to propagate from the transmitting antenna. This is easiest to
understand by comparing radio signals to light. Much as a radio system “covers” a geographic area, we
use light to illuminate a room. If the room is devoid of objects such as furniture, the best way to light it
is with a lamp in the middle. If there are obstacles, such as furniture, in the room, it can still be lit from
the center, but now there will be shadows in some locations.
Height is a very important criterion in radio communications design. The height of a site, as a
combination of ground elevation (above mean sea level - AMSL) and the tower height (above ground
level - AGL), must be high enough to provide the desired coverage. To understand this, think of the light
example with obstacles (furniture) in the room. If the source of light is a twelve-inch high lamp placed
on the floor, there will be many shadows. For example, the area on the opposite side of a chair will have
a shadow. If on the other hand, the source is a ceiling lamp hung in the center of the room, there will still
be shadows, but they will be contained to perhaps less important areas of the room. For example, the
shadow will now be under the chair. Imagme the difference in trying to read a book while sitting on a
chair. The lamp on the floor will make this task very difficult, since the source of light is below the book
and the bottom will shadow the top of the book, while the ceiling lamp will improve the readability
drastically. The height issue for the radio designer is one of trade-offs: there will always be shadows, but
the challenge is to vary the height and location to force the location of those shadows to less important
coverage areas.
Shadows in the real world are not caused by pieces of furniture that can easily be re-arranged. They are
the result of obstacles that are much more irregular in shape and harder to design around. These
obstacles include mountains, foliage, buildings, water towers, in short, anything standing between the
transmitting antenna and the mobile unit. Considering the type of obstacles mentioned above, it is
obvious why height is so important in a tower site. If designing in a Town, the site should be higher than
the surrounding buildings or the signal will be severely impaired. Similarly, if the obstacle is a mountain,
the site should be above the mountain and be able to “see” the desired coverage location.
Location is very important in radio system design. If you wish to provide light to a room for reading
purposes, you would obviously choose to locate in the center of the room rather than one of the comers.
If the center is not available, the best way to light the room is probably to place lamps in different parts
of the room, for example one table lamp on each side of the room. A person walking across the room

will switch from the lamp A to lamp B light - this is hand off! This also demonstrates the importance of
system design.
The final issue with system design is capacity. This is the amount of radio traffic, in this case telephone
calls, a system can handle simultaneously. A common example of a capacity issue is the check out area
of a grocery store. A typical grocery store will have perhaps ten checkout areas. Most of the time only
two or three are open and the lines are small. Occasionally the lines increase and more registers are
opened to handle the additional traffic. The store is probably designed so that at the busiest time and
with all the registers open, no customer will be more than third in line. This time of the day is known as
the busy hour and probably occurs at the same time every day or every week. The capacity is defined by
the blocking rate, which is the desire of the store manager to never have a customer further than third in
line. In this case the actual capacity is thirty patrons at the checkout area at the same time. As an area
grows and more customers come into the grocery store, more checkout areas must be added to
accommodate them and maintain the no more than three in line quality of service. This same concept
applies to mobile communications. Systems are designed to handIe the busy hour each day with a
predetermined blocking (usually 2% of the calls will not have a channel when one is requested) given a
set number of customers. As more customers come on the air, the service provider strives to maintain the
quality of service. Since radio spectrum is a finite quantity, the provider accomplishes this by frequency
reuse. The cell sites are made smaller (closer to the ground), the power is reduced, and more sites are
added.

APPENDIX I1 - Propagation Study Parameters
It is important to remember that a propagation study is a predictive model of signal strength and
coverage. The programs that create the studies use thousands if not millions of mathematical
calculations based on the physics of RF propagation in the earth’s atmosphere and the input parameters
defined by the engineer running the program. These input parameters include such information as
antenna height, antenna gain, output power, additional (i.e. environmental) path loss, etc.
Creating accurate propagation studies is both a science and an art. While the laws of physics defining the
situation may be well-defined, there is considerable leeway in defining the input variables on which these
calculations are based. Thus, to create an accurate propagation study, there must be both a good program
(software) and an experienced engineer defining the parameters.
CoMP Corn uses a proprietary “Real World” program to create its propagation studies. The model used
for the coverage prediction is based on Okumura studies and is well established in the wireless
communications industry. This program was developed by COMP COMM’S engineers and has been in use
(in various versions) for nearly 20 years. The results are then mapped to a local area for viewing and
printing using ArcViewTM, a well-established GIS mapping application.
Because of the variations possible in these input parameters - the “art” of the design process - different
propagation studies created by different individuals andor different programs can look quite different.
This may result in an “apples and oranges” situation when one is trying to compare two propagation
studies created by two different programs or people for the same site. To enable such future analysis and
interpretation of the propagation studies developed as part of this project, and to allay any potential
concerns that these propagation studies are not comparable to others that might be reviewed, we have
specified (below) the parameters used therein.
For our analysis of the AWS proposed and alternative sites, we were able to determine some of the
design parameters AWS used in their propagation studies from the materials they submitted and duplicate
those parameters in our studies. For those parameters for which AWS provided no guidance, we used
parameters derived from our experience working with other camers or in other locations.
The environment in Carlsbad would generally be considered “suburban”. Sites generally serve residential
neighborhoods or open fields. Therefore, we used “suburban” environment calculations to create the
propagation studies.
The following additional parameters were used in our studies:
Frequency: 880 MHz
Path: “Talk-out” (base-to-mobile)
Base Unit Em: varies by site - see Attachment 1 for details
Base station antenna: omni-directional, gain = 0.0 dB’
Mobile antenna: omnidirectional, 0.0 dB gain
Mobile radiation (receive) center: 4 ft. AGL
Receiver HeighVGain Factor: -3.3 dB
Additional path loss: 0.0 dB
Study Radius: 5 km
Base Station Latitude, Longitude, Ground Elevation and Rad Center Height AGL are as declared
in Attachment 1.
’ Except for Site #2, SDG&E #173, see Attachment 1 for details.

The less negative the signal strength, the stronger the signal. Thus a -75 dBm signal is stronger than a -
95 dBm signal (just as -5” is “warmer” than -15O). The more difficult the coverage area, the stronger the
signal required to get into the environment. Stronger signals are needed to travel through walls or car
windows to reach inside buildings or cars. Thus, in order of difficulty, In-Building coverage is the most
difficult, next is In-Vehicle coverage. Outdoor coverage is the “easiest” (because the signal doesn’t need
to travel through so much additional matter).

APPENDIX I11 - Service Types and Associated Issues
The Federal Communications Commission (FCC) licenses various types of wireless (radio) services all
over the US, everything from radio stations to microwave relays to commercial public mobile radio
services, commonly referred to as “cellular” (this category also includes paging services). The
commercial systems currently being built out are primarily Cellular, Enhanced Specialized Mobile Radio
(ESMR), and Personal Communications Systems (PCS). New, primarily data, services, typically in the
“unlicensed” 2.4 GHz range, are also being deployed. Each of these service types has certain
characteristics affecting system design. An overview of the differences between these services is
presented here. Due to their similarities, cellular and SMR will be treated the same in this discussion.
The operating frequency is one of the most important differentiators between service types when
determining coverage. Cellular and ESMR services both operate in the upper 800 MHz frequency range
while PCS operates in the 1900 MHz frequency range. Cellular and ESMR services will encounter very
similar properties when operating and will be treated as one entity called 800 MHz. The number of
towers will vary according to the setting, with one every 20 miles in a rural environment and as close as
every couple of blocks in a dense urban environment to provide acceptable coverage. Long needle pine
trees are problematic for the 800 MHz frequency band and the signal will partially penetrate buildings.
Typical suburban and urban cellular and ESMR sites operate with transmit power at 200 Watts ERP or
less. Per the FCC, their maximum output power is 500 Watts ERP per site.
The PCS frequencies are more than twice as high as the 800 MHz frequencies, and therefore have a
wavelength half that of the 800 MHz frequencies. This means more energy is required to transmit a
comparable signal the same distance as for the 800 MHz frequencies. Since the operating powers for the
two bands are comparable, the service is not available as far away as it is for the 800 MHz frequency
range. In general, the sites for PCS are placed two to four miles apart compared to the greater distances
of three to eight miles for the 800 MHz frequency range. Most foliage will cause problems for PCS and
the signal does very poorly at penetrating buildings. Again, typical suburban and urban PCS sites operate
with transmit power at 200 Watts ERP or less. Per the FCC, their maximum output power is 1000 Watts
ERP per site.

APPENDIX IV - COMP COMM, Inc. Qualifications
COMP COMM is neither a traditional planning firm nor a typical engineering firm, we are an independent
wireless communications engineering consulting firm with a focus on helping local governments manage
their emerging wireless issues. Our position as independent experts, our service to local government
clients, our years of experience in the wireless industry, our commitment to engineering excellence, and
our knowledge of the regulations and industry players uniquely quallfL us to help local governments
solve the new problems they are facing due to the explosive growth in wireless communications.
CoMP COMM was incorporated more than 27 years ago and is a fully-staffed and equipped professional
organization. Our staff includes not only technical personnel including a licensed Professional Engineer
(P.E.), but also project management, administrative and other support services. These staff members are
COMP COMM employees and not contract personnel.
Comuanv History
Since 1975, COMP COMM has made a business of solving complex technical and operational problems in
wireless telecommunications. While serving a broad base of both public and private clients, the
Company has maintained its focus on the balanced expansion of wireless services throughout the United
States.
In our early years, COMP COMM provided comprehensive engineering services and technical support to
FCC frequency spectrum applicants. The company soon gained recognition as a reliable industry
resource and was employed to design wireless systems during the early years of cellular. COMP COMM
designed 18 of the 30 largest markets and successfblly defended all its designs during the FCC
comparative hearing process. Our engineers later designed and evaluated hundreds of systems ranging
from the original New York City cellular system to single-site rural radio applications.
After years of in-house design work, COMP COMM'S extensive experience and capabilities were tapped to
develop and operate five rural cellular systems. The Company managed these systems from successful
application and license award; through system design, build-out and operation; to marketing and
subsequent sale. More recently, COMP COMM has performed significant field work for its clients,
including evaluation of sites throughout the country to ensure compliance with FCC and FAA
regulations. Through these services, we assure systems operate within authorized parameters and at peak
efficiency.
Service to Local Governments
In 1996 we began leveraging our years of insider expertise to help local governments develop unbiased,
fact-based and cost-effective solutions to their wireless issues - solutions which consider the interests of
all their constituents.
Our needs- and use-based analysis for local governments includes local traffic flows, land use
restrictions, aesthetics, and the projected wireless communication needs of the community. COMP COMM
understands that each community has its own needs and areas of concern in the management of wireless
communications facilities, and we work with each client to develop solutions that address their unique
priorities and requirements. Our clients value us because they know we will provide answers and
solutions based on a complete and comprehensive evaluation.
We generally recommend an approach which provides a way for local governments to bring the benefits
of wireless services to their community and meet their obligations under the Telecom Act, while
decreasing the chances of facilities being built in ways or locations that are less desirable to local

residents. CoMP COMM helps communities develop long-range plans and requirements for wireless
facilities before more new towers are requested, allowing communities to rationalize their approval
process, better manage and anticipate requests for sites, and eliminate many of the conflicts that might
otherwise arise. The result is a clear “road mapy7 for wireless service providers to follow with minimal
procedural delay, yet still retain their rights under the 1996 Telecom Act.
Technical Oualifications and Resources
COMP COMM’S engineers use standard and accepted engineering principles in all our analysis. Our staff
includes a licensed Professional Engineer (P.E.) in Electrical Engineering. We have extensive computing
resources, including RF propagation modeling, GIS (mapping) applications, extensive terrain, FCC
license, and population databases to support our analyses.
Using our proprietary “Real World” radio propagation software, we provide an accurate and cost-
effective predictive model of wireless coverage. The model used for the coverage prediction is based on
Okumura-Hata studies and is well established in the wireless communications industry. Built into this
analysis is the USGS 3-second survey data. Base Maps and Plots are created using ESRI’s Arcview@
GIS application. Outputs can be provided in hard copies or electronic files.
For our field services we use a wide variety of modem test and measurement equipment, including GPS
devices, spectrum analyzers, power density meters with dual polarity probes, antenna sweep gear, Watt
meters, digital multimeters, digital cameras and laser range finders.
Our staff includes personnel who are thoroughly knowledgeable in the FCC, FAA and OSHA
