Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES) - Harmonized EN for tracking Earth Stations on Trains (ESTs) operating in the 14/12 GHz frequency bands covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE directive
To provide Harmonised Standards for the operation of ESTs in the 14/12 GHz frequency bands.The present document applies to Earth Stations located on board Trains, which have the following characteristics:
The EST may transmit and receive data when the train is in motion and also when the train is stationary.
• The EST operates in a railway environment and, therefore, may be subject to occasional disturbances and interruptions in the satellite link.
• The EST is operating as part of a satellite network (e.g. star, mesh or point-to-point) used for the distribution and/or exchange of information.
• The EST is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the interface with other communications equipment on a train (usually referred to as the terrestrial interface).
• The EST transmits on single carrier in the frequency range 14,00 GHz to 14,25 GHz, which is a portion of a band allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space).
• The EST receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz in bands allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-Earth) or the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) (space-to-Earth), depending on the ITU Region where the EST is located.
• The EST uses linear or circular polarization.
• The EST is designed to operate through a geostationary satellite (or a cluster of co-located geostationary satellites) that is at least 3° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequencies and over the same coverage area.
• The EST transmits at elevations greater than or equal to 7° relative to the local horizon.
• The EST is designed for unattended operation.
• The EST is controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document applies to the EST with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the applicant and when installed as required by the applicant's declaration or in the user documentation.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) Article 3.2, which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 of the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in Directive 1999/5/EC [1] and the following
apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment used in connection with an EST is considered as ancillary if the three following
conditions are met:
• the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with the EST to provide additional operational and/or control
features (e.g. to extend control to another position or location); and
• the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis, to provide user functions independently of the EST; and
• the absence of the equipment does not inhibit the operation of the EST.
applicant: manufacturer or his authorized representative within the European Community or the person responsible for
placing the apparatus on the market
carrier-off radio state: radio state in which the EST may transmit and does not transmit any carrier
NOTE 1: The phrase "the EST may transmit" means that all the conditions for transmission are satisfied (e.g. in a
state where transmissions are permitted, no failure detected, and the EST is correctly pointed towards the
satellite).
NOTE 2: The existence of a "Carrier-off" radio state depends on the system of transmission used. For ESTs
designed for continuous transmission mode there may be no "Carrier-off" state.
carrier-on radio state: radio state in which the EST may transmit and transmits a carrier
Control Channel (CC): channel or channels by which ESTs receive control information from the NCF
EIRP : maximum e.i.r.p. capability of the EST as declared by the applicant
max
emissions disabled radio state: radio state in which the EST must not emit
NOTE: Examples of cases where the EST is in this radio state: before system monitoring pass, before the control
channel is received, when a failure is detected, when an EST is commanded to disable, and when the EST
is in a location requiring cessation of emissions.
external control channel: control channel which is either (i) carried by the EST network via the same or another
satellite, but not within the internal protocol of the EST system, or (ii) carried by any other radio communication system
Externally Mounted Equipment (EME): that part of the EST intended to be installed on the outside of the train
(usually the roof), as declared by the applicant, or as indicated in the user documentation
NOTE 1: The EME unit is usually comprised of the following main parts:
a) The antenna sub-system which converts the incident radiation field into a guided wave and vice versa.
b) The Low Noise Block (LNB) down converter, which is a device that amplifies, with very low internal noise,
the received signals in the Radio Frequency (RF) band and converts them to intermediate frequencies.
c) The up-converter and the power amplifier which convert from the intermediate frequency to RF and amplify
the low level RF signals for transmission through the antenna subsystem.
d) The stabilization and tracking mechanics that ensure pointing of the antenna main beam towards the satellite
within the required accuracy.
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 302 448 V1.1.1 (2007-12)
NOTE 2: The installation equipment (means of attachment) is outside the scope of the present document. However,
the antenna structures and other components directly mounted on the antenna and forming an integral part
of it, are subject to the specifications of the present document.
NOTE 3: Certain configurations may include more than one EME per EST. As for example, the EST may have
separate transmit and receive antennas or it may have redundant transmit/receive antenna units.
external response channel: response channel which is either (i) carried by the EST network via the same or another
satellite, but not within the internal protocol of the EST system, or (ii) carried by any other radio communication system
integral antenna: antenna which may not be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
internal control channel: control channel which is carried by the EST network via the same satellite as used for
transmission of user data and within the internal protocol structure of the EST system
Internally Mounted Equipment (IME): part of the EST equipment which is installed inside the train and its
connection cables with the EME
NOTE: The IME is usually comprised of:
a) the modem and the IF radio equipment;
b) the control logic, including that for the internal control and monitoring subsystem and the antenna tracking
subsystem; and
c) the interfaces to equipment and services onboard the train.
internal response channel: response channel which is carried by the EST network via the same satellite as used for
transmission of user data and within the internal protocol structure of the EST system
maximum relative wind speed: the addition of the magnitudes of the maximum wind speed and the maximum train
velocity
Network Control Facility (NCF): set of functional entities that, at system level, monitor and control the correct
operation of all ESTs in a network
nominated bandwidth: bandwidth of the EST radio frequency transmission nominated by the applicant. The
nominated bandwidth is centred on the transmit frequency and does not exceed 5 times the occupied bandwidth
NOTE: The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to encompass all spectral elements of the transmission which
have a level greater than the specified spurious radiation limits. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough
to take account of the transmit carrier frequency stability. This definition is chosen to allow flexibility
regarding adjacent channel interference levels which will be taken into account by operational procedures
depending on the exact transponder carrier assignment situation.
occupied Bandwidth (Bo):
• for a digital modulation scheme: the width of the signal spectrum 10 dB below the maximum in-band density;
• for an analogue modulation scheme: the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the
upper frequency limits, the mean power emitted is equal to 0,5 % of the total mean power of the emission.
off-axis angle: angle between the direction of the axis of the antenna main beam and the considered direction
removable antenna: antenna which may be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
Response Channel (RC): channel by which EST transmit monitoring information to the NCF
spurious radiation: any radiation outside the nominated bandwidth
transmission disabled state: EST is in this state when it is not authorized by the NCF to transmit
transmission enabled state: EST is in this state when it is authorized by the NCF to transmit

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 General
4.1.1 Environmental profile
The applicant shall declare the environmental profile of the EST equipment and it shall include conditions for both
survivability and operation. The declared environmental profile shall include, but not be limited to, a statement of
conditions regarding: train velocity, tangential and longitudinal acceleration, temperature range, damp heat, dry heat,
relative humidity stress, shock and vibration, antenna pressure pulses and pressure gradients.
NOTE: For guidance on the range of values for parameters in the environmental profile, applicants should consult
the following standards: EN 50155; EN 60068; EN 61373. For certain environmental parameters not
covered in these standards, it may be useful to consult EN 60945 (see Bibliography).
The equipment shall comply with the performance requirements of the present document under all operational
environmental conditions.
4.1.2 Operational configurations
Under operational conditions an EST may dynamically change the occupied bandwidth and other transmission
parameters (e.g. FEC, modulation, symbol rate) of the transmitted signal. For each occupied bandwidth an EIRP and
max
a nominated bandwidth shall be declared by the applicant. For the purposes of verifying that the EST complies with
these specifications, the applicant may declare the worst case combination of transmission parameters. The following
specifications apply to the EST for each occupied bandwidth and other transmission parameters.
4.1.3 EST states and radio states
For the purpose of the present document the following four EST states are defined, without presuming the effective
implementation of the EST state machine:
• "Non valid";
• "Initial phase";
• "Transmission disabled"; and
• "Transmission enabled".
The four EST states are represented on figure 2 and are used in clause 4.2.8 for the specification of the Control and
Monitoring Functions (CMFs).
In the "Non-valid" state and in the "Transmission disabled" state the EST is not allowed to transmit. In the
"Transmission-enabled" state the EST is allowed to transmit. In the "Initial phase" state the EST is only allowed to
transmit initial bursts or is waiting for a transmit enable/disable command.
The "Initial phase" is divided into three substates:
• "Initial phase-Standby" prior to the transmission of the first initial burst or when no initial bursts are
transmitted;
• "Initial phase-BurstOn" during the transmission of the initial bursts;
• "Initial phase-BurstOff" between initial bursts.
NOTE: ESTs which do not transmit initial bursts have no "Initial phase-BurstOn" state and no "Initial
phase-BurstOff" state.
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 302 448 V1.1.1 (2007-12)
The EST "may transmit" when all the conditions for transmission are satisfied (e.g. in a state where transmissions are
permitted, no failure detected, correctly pointed towards the satellite and there is no requirement for cessation of
emissions).
The following radio states of the EST are defined:
• "Emissions disabled" when the EST must not transmit any carrier;
• "Carrier-off" when the EST may transmit and does not transmit any carrier;
• "Carrier-on" when the EST may transmit and transmits a carrier.
Table 1a gives the only possible combinations of the EST states and radio states which shall apply, with some examples
of associated events.
When the EST transmits several carriers having different frequencies, an EST state machine as described above may be
associated with each carrier or each set of carriers.

Figure 1: EST System Overview
• The EST may transmit and receive data when the train is in motion and also when the train is stationary.
• The EST operates in a railway environment and, therefore, may be subject to occasional disturbances and
interruptions in the satellite link.
• The EST is operating as part of a satellite network (e.g. star, mesh or point-to-point) used for the distribution
and/or exchange of information.
• The EST is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the interface
with other communications equipment on a train (usually referred to as the terrestrial interface).
• The EST transmits on single carrier in the frequency range 14,00 GHz to 14,25 GHz, which is a portion of a
band allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space).
• The EST receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz in bands
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-Earth) or the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS)
(space-to-Earth), depending on the ITU Region where the EST is located.
• The EST uses linear or circular polarization.
• The EST is designed to operate through a geostationary satellite (or a cluster of co-located geostationary
satellites) that is at least 3° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequencies and
over the same coverage area.
• The EST transmits at elevations greater than or equal to 7° relative to the local horizon.
• The EST is designed for unattended operation.
• The EST is controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the scope of
the present document.
The present document applies to the EST with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and
when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the applicant and
when installed as required by the applicant's declaration or in the user documentation.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in Directive 1999/5/EC [1] and the following
apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment used in connection with an EST is considered as ancillary if the three following
conditions are met:
• the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with the EST to provide additional operational and/or control
features (e.g. to extend control to another position or location); and
• the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis, to provide user functions independently of the EST; and
• the absence of the equipment does not inhibit the operation of the EST.
applicant: manufacturer or his authorized representative within the European Community or the person responsible for
placing the apparatus on the market
carrier-off radio state: radio state in which the EST may transmit and does not transmit any carrier
NOTE 1: The phrase "the EST may transmit" means that all the conditions for transmission are satisfied (e.g. in a
state where transmissions are permitted, no failure detected, and the EST is correctly pointed towards the
satellite).
NOTE 2: The existence of a "Carrier-off" radio state depends on the system of transmission used. For ESTs
designed for continuous transmission mode there may be no "Carrier-off" state.
carrier-on radio state: radio state in which the EST may transmit and transmits a carrier
Control Channel (CC): channel or channels by which ESTs receive control information from the NCF
EIRP : maximum e.i.r.p. capability of the EST as declared by the applicant
max
emissions disabled radio state: radio state in which the EST must not emit
NOTE: Examples of cases where the EST is in this radio state: before system monitoring pass, before the control
channel is received, when a failure is detected, when an EST is commanded to disable, and when the EST
is in a location requiring cessation of emissions.
external control channel: control channel which is either (i) carried by the EST network via the same or another
satellite, but not within the internal protocol of the EST system, or (ii) carried by any other radio communication system
Externally Mounted Equipment (EME): that part of the EST intended to be installed on the outside of the train
(usually the roof), as declared by the applicant, or as indicated in the user documentation
NOTE 1: The EME unit is usually comprised of the following main parts:
a) The antenna sub-system which converts the incident radiation field into a guided wave and vice versa.
b) The Low Noise Block (LNB) down converter, which is a device that amplifies, with very low internal noise,
the received signals in the Radio Frequency (RF) band and converts them to intermediate frequencies.
c) The up-converter and the power amplifier which convert from the intermediate frequency to RF and amplify
the low level RF signals for transmission through the antenna subsystem.
d) The stabilization and tracking mechanics that ensure pointing of the antenna main beam towards the satellite
within the required accuracy.
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 302 448 V1.1.1 (2007-12)
NOTE 2: The installation equipment (means of attachment) is outside the scope of the present document. However,
the antenna structures and other components directly mounted on the antenna and forming an integral part
of it, are subject to the specifications of the present document.
NOTE 3: Certain configurations may include more than one EME per EST. As for example, the EST may have
separate transmit and receive antennas or it may have redundant transmit/receive antenna units.
external response channel: response channel which is either (i) carried by the EST network via the same or another
satellite, but not within the internal protocol of the EST system, or (ii) carried by any other radio communication system
integral antenna: antenna which may not be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
internal control channel: control channel which is carried by the EST network via the same satellite as used for
transmission of user data and within the internal protocol structure of the EST system
Internally Mounted Equipment (IME): part of the EST equipment which is installed inside the train and its
connection cables with the EME
NOTE: The IME is usually comprised of:
a) the modem and the IF radio equipment;
b) the control logic, including that for the internal control and monitoring subsystem and the antenna tracking
subsystem; and
c) the interfaces to equipment and services onboard the train.
internal response channel: response channel which is carried by the EST network via the same satellite as used for
transmission of user data and within the internal protocol structure of the EST system
maximum relative wind speed: the addition of the magnitudes of the maximum wind speed and the maximum train
velocity
Network Control Facility (NCF): set of functional entities that, at system level, monitor and control the correct
operation of all ESTs in a network
nominated bandwidth: bandwidth of the EST radio frequency transmission nominated by the applicant. The
nominated bandwidth is centred on the transmit frequency and does not exceed 5 times the occupied bandwidth
NOTE: The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to encompass all spectral elements of the transmission which
have a level greater than the specified spurious radiation limits. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough
to take account of the transmit carrier frequency stability. This definition is chosen to allow flexibility
regarding adjacent channel interference levels which will be taken into account by operational procedures
depending on the exact transponder carrier assignment situation.
occupied Bandwidth (Bo):
• for a digital modulation scheme: the width of the signal spectrum 10 dB below the maximum in-band density;
• for an analogue modulation scheme: the width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the
upper frequency limits, the mean power emitted is equal to 0,5 % of the total mean power of the emission.
off-axis angle: angle between the direction of the axis of the antenna main beam and the considered direction
removable antenna: antenna which may be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
Response Channel (RC): channel by which EST transmit monitoring information to the NCF
spurious radiation: any radiation outside the nominated bandwidth
transmission disabled state: EST is in this state when it is not authorized by the NCF to transmit
transmission enabled state: EST is in this state when it is authorized by the NCF to transmit

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 General
4.1.1 Environmental profile
The applicant shall declare the environmental profile of the EST equipment and it shall include conditions for both
survivability and operation. The declared environmental profile shall include, but not be limited to, a statement of
conditions regarding: train velocity, tangential and longitudinal acceleration, temperature range, damp heat, dry heat,
relative humidity stress, shock and vibration, antenna pressure pulses and pressure gradients.
NOTE: For guidance on the range of values for parameters in the environmental profile, applicants should consult
the following standards: EN 50155; EN 60068; EN 61373. For certain environmental parameters not
covered in these standards, it may be useful to consult EN 60945 (see Bibliography).
The equipment shall comply with the performance requirements of the present document under all operational
environmental conditions.
4.1.2 Operational configurations
Under operational conditions an EST may dynamically change the occupied bandwidth and other transmission
parameters (e.g. FEC, modulation, symbol rate) of the transmitted signal. For each occupied bandwidth an EIRP and
max
a nominated bandwidth shall be declared by the applicant. For the purposes of verifying that the EST complies with
these specifications, the applicant may declare the worst case combination of transmission parameters. The following
specifications apply to the EST for each occupied bandwidth and other transmission parameters.
4.1.3 EST states and radio states
For the purpose of the present document the following four EST states are defined, without presuming the effective
implementation of the EST state machine:
• "Non valid";
• "Initial phase";
• "Transmission disabled"; and
• "Transmission enabled".
The four EST states are represented on figure 2 and are used in clause 4.2.8 for the specification of the Control and
Monitoring Functions (CMFs).
In the "Non-valid" state and in the "Transmission disabled" state the EST is not allowed to transmit. In the
"Transmission-enabled" state the EST is allowed to transmit. In the "Initial phase" state the EST is only allowed to
transmit initial bursts or is waiting for a transmit enable/disable command.
The "Initial phase" is divided into three substates:
• "Initial phase-Standby" prior to the transmission of the first initial burst or when no initial bursts are
