SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 is the Slovenian adoption of an ETSI harmonized European standard for Mobile Earth Stations (MESs) in geostationary mobile satellite systems. It specifies spectrum-related technical requirements and conformance tests for MESs used in Satellite Personal Communications Networks (S-PCN) in the 1,5/1,6 GHz bands under the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS). It is written for manufacturers, test laboratories, and compliance teams that need to verify emissions, control functions, and network-controlled behaviour.

What does SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 specify?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 specifies minimum performance requirements and test methods for MESs with transmit and receive capability in S-PCN systems. The scope covers handheld, portable, vehicle-mounted, host-connected, semi-fixed, fixed, and multimode terminal elements, provided the S-PCN MES element is in scope.

The standard is organized into five main clauses plus three annexes:

AnnexWhat it covers
Annex AThe EN Requirements Table (EN-RT) for conformity assessment
Annex BBibliography
Annex CThe EN title in the official languages

The main clauses cover scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, technical requirement specifications, and testing for compliance. In practice, that means the document tells you what the equipment must do, what must be measured, and how to test it.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 focuses on spectrum use, unwanted emissions, and control functions that prevent uncontrolled transmissions. The most important requirements are in clause 4 and are backed by the test procedures in clause 5.

Spectrum and emission limits

The standard applies to S-PCN MESs for geostationary mobile satellite systems with an EIRP not exceeding 15 dBW. It covers MES transmit operation in 1 626,5 MHz to 1 660,5 MHz and receive operation in 1 525 MHz to 1 559 MHz.

Clause 4.2.1 limits unwanted emissions outside the transmit band in carrier-on state. Clause 4.2.2 limits unwanted emissions inside the transmit band and in the adjacent 1 660,5 MHz to 1 662,5 MHz range. The tables set different limits by frequency offset, and the standard lets the applicant declare whether table 4a or table 4b applies in clause 4.2.2. In practice, the manufacturer has to choose the operating case, declare the nominated bandwidth, and then show that the measured emissions stay within the applicable mask.

Clause 4.2.3 sets limits for carrier-off state emissions. This matters because an MES can still leak energy when it is not actively transmitting, and those emissions must not disturb other services.

Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF)

Clause 4.2.4 requires CMF that suppress transmission when faults occur or when network control is missing. Processor monitoring must stop transmissions within 1 s after a detectable processor fault. Transmit frequency generation sub-system monitoring must stop transmissions within 5 s after a detectable failure. In practice, the terminal must shut down fast enough to limit interference if internal faults appear.

Clause 4.2.4 also requires network control authorization and network control reception. After power-on, the MES must stay in carrier-off state until it receives the right network control channel and, where applicable, a transmission enable command. If the network control channel is lost, the MES must stop transmitting within 30 s. The carrier frequency must follow the NCF command, and the nominated bandwidth must stay fully within the declared operational frequency range.

Multimode terminals, identity, and radio astronomy protection

If an MES includes fellow radio stations in a dual-mode or multimode terminal, clause 4.2.4.5 requires those fellow modes not to transmit unless they receive their own network control channel. Clause 4.2.5 requires each MES to have a unique MES Identification Code (MIC) and to transmit it when commanded by the NCF. Clause 4.2.6 protects radio astronomy operation in 1 660 MHz to 1 660,5 MHz by requiring the MES to support transmission disable.

What terms does SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 define?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 defines several terms that are central to testing and compliance.

  • Applicant - the manufacturer, authorized representative, or person placing the equipment on the market.
  • Carrier-on state - the MES is authorized by the NCF and is transmitting a signal.
  • Carrier-off state - the MES is authorized but not transmitting, or it is not authorized to transmit.
  • Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP) - transmitter power combined with antenna gain in a given direction.
  • Nominated bandwidth (Bn) - the bandwidth declared for the transmission, wide enough to contain the necessary spectral elements.
  • Special Test Equipment (STE) - test equipment used to control the MES and simulate network control conditions.
  • MES Identification Code (MIC) - the unique identity code for the MES within its S-PCN.
  • Network Control Facility (NCF) - the network-side control function that commands and supervises the MES.

Who uses SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 is used by MES manufacturers, test laboratories, certification teams, and quality managers. It is also relevant to satellite network operators and system integrators who need the terminal to respond correctly to network control and to stay within the declared operating band.

In practice, users apply it when they define test modes, select measurement methods, set up radiated or conducted tests, record results, and check whether the MES can be controlled, muted, and identified as required.

What changed in SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 revises table 4a to change the in-band emission limits for newer higher data rate MESs, including MESs with nominated bandwidths above 50 kHz. It also corrects the harmonic emission limits by correcting the bands in Table 3, Note 1.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 references the following documents and standards as part of its technical framework:

  • Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) - provides the essential requirements context for the standard.
  • ETSI EN 301 682 - covers Network Control Facilities (NCF) for MESs in the same S-PCN band.
  • ITU-T Recommendation O.153 - defines the pseudorandom bit sequence used as the test modulating signal.
  • CISPR 16-1 - supports the calibration and validation of the open area test site for radiated measurements.
  • Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive) and Council Directive 73/23/EEC (LV Directive) - appear in the general standards framework referenced by the document.
  • Directive 98/34/EC - is cited in the foreword for the technical standards notification process.

What does the SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 document contain?

SIST EN 301 681 V1.3.2:2004 contains emission limit tables, control-and-monitoring requirements, and the test methods used to verify them. It includes detailed procedures for radiated and conducted measurements, including peak and average measurement set-ups, spectrum analyser settings, and substitution methods.

The document also gives test arrangements for host-connected equipment, CMF testing, and the handling of MES test modes. Figures 2 to 6 describe the main measurement arrangements, and Annex A provides the EN-RT table used for static conformity assessment.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be specified by function or interface type. The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are harmonized) or by radio equipment type. For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC Directive [2].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be required. The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [1] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential requirements under the R&TTE Directive [1] may be covered in a set of standards. The modularity principle has been taken because: • it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may occur in an equipment; • it provides scope for standards to be added: - under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or - under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions;
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published; • it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity assessment. The technical requirements in the present document are applied under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, concerning the effective uses of the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communication and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference. These requirements are in two major categories:
emissions limits: to protect other radio services from harmful interference generated by the MES in normal use;
MES Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF): to protect other radio services from unwanted transmissions from the MES. The CMF in each MES is capable of answering to commands from the Network Control Facilities (NCF) for its S-PCN. NOTE: The requirements for Network Control Facilities (NCF) for S-PCN are contained in EN 301 682 [6]. The determination of the parameters of the user earth stations using a given satellite for the protection of the spectrum allocated to that satellite, is considered to be under the responsibility of the satellite operator or the satellite network operators.

1 Scope The present document applies to S-PCN MES for Geostationary mobile satellite systems with an EIRP less than or equal to 15 dBW. The present document sets out the minimum performance requirements and technical characteristics of Mobile Earth Stations (MES) with both transmit and receive capabilities for operation in a Satellite Personal Communication Network (S-PCN) in the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency band given in table 1. Table 1: Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency band Transmission path MSS frequency band MESs transmit 1 626,5 MHz to 1 660,5 MHz MESs receive 1 525 MHz to 1 559 MHz
An S-PCN MES may be handheld, portable, vehicle-mounted, host connected, semi-fixed or fixed equipment, or may be an element in a multimode terminal; it may consist of a number of modules with associated connections and user interface, or may be a self contained single unit. If the MES is an element in a multimode terminal, unless otherwise stated in the present document, its requirements apply only to the S-PCN MES element of the terminal operating in the MSS frequency band given in table 1. 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 R&TTE Directive [1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. NOTE 1: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/. NOTE 2: These MESs are controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the scope of the present document. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.

NOTE 3: The parameters AB, CD, EF are defined below. NOTE 4: The limit of -25 dBW in this table is determined on the assumption that the adjacent channel interference results from a single interferer. This limit shall apply to MESs that are designed for operation in a network where the occurrence of two (or more) interferers, all transmitting with the maximum permitted level of unwanted emissions, does not exceed 0,1 % of the time; otherwise a limit of -30 dBW shall apply.
The parameters AB, CD and EF are defined as a proportion of the 3dB Bandwidth as follows:
AB = (55) or (100 % of the B3dB), whichever is the greater;
CD = (95) or (200 % of the B3dB), whichever is the greater;
EF = (125) or (300 % of the B3dB), whichever is the greater. For systems employing CDMA, the EIRP limits in tables 4a, and 4b shall be decreased by 10 x log (N) dB, where N is the maximum number of MESs in the receive beam of the satellite to which these MESs are communicating and which are expected to transmit simultaneously in the same frequency band within that same beam.
