Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES) - Harmonised Standard for tracking Earth Stations on Trains (ESTs) operating in the 14/12 GHz frequency bands covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU

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 2014/53/EU [4] (RE Directive) article 3.2, which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference".
NOTE 1: Operational requirements are defined by national administrations and by relevant ECC Decisions.
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 2014/53 [4] (RE Directive) may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.

Satelitske zemeljske postaje in sistemi (SES) - Harmonizirani standard, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive 2014/53/EU, za sledenje zemeljskim postajam na vlakih (EST), delujočim v frekvenčnih pasovih 14/12 GHz

Ta dokument se uporablja za zemeljske postaje na vlakih (ESVs) z naslednjimi značilnostmi:
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku lahko oddaja in sprejema podatke, ko se vlak premika ali ko je na mestu.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku deluje v železniškem okolju, pri čemer lahko pride do občasnih motenj in prekinitev v satelitski povezavi.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku deluje kot del satelitskega omrežja (npr. zvezdnega, mrežnega ali od točke do točke), ki se uporablja za distribucijo in/ali izmenjavo informacij.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku je sestavljena iz vse opreme, električne in mehanske, od same antene do vmesnikov z drugo komunikacijsko opremo na vlaku (običajno se imenujejo zemeljski vmesniki).
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku oddaja prek ene nosilne frekvence v frekvenčnem območju od 14,00 do 14,25 GHz, ki je del pasu, dodeljen fiksnim satelitskim storitvam (FSS) (Zemlja–vesolje).
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku sprejema na eni ali več frekvencah v območju od 10,70 do 12,75 GHz v pasovih, ki so dodeljeni fiksnim satelitskim storitvam (FSS) (vesolje–Zemlja) ali radiodifuzijskim satelitskim storitvam (BSS) (vesolje-Zemlja), odvisno od regije Mednarodne telekomunikacijske zveze, v kateri se zemeljska postaja nahaja.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku uporablja linearno ali krožno polarizacijo.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku deluje prek geostacionarnega satelita (ali skupine skupno nameščenih geostacionarnih satelitov), ki je odmaknjen za vsaj 3° od kateregakoli drugega geostacionarnega satelita, ki deluje v istem frekvenčnem pasu in na istem območju.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku oddaja na višinah, ki so večje ali enake 7° glede na lokalno obzorje.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku je izdelana za nenadzorovano delovanje.
• Zemeljska postaja na vlaku se krmili in spremlja z napravo za krmiljenje omrežja (NCF). Naprava za krmiljenje omrežja ne spada v področje uporabe tega dokumenta.
Ta dokument se uporablja za zemeljsko postajo na vlaku s pomožno opremo in različnimi telekomunikacijskimi vrati, ko ta deluje znotraj mejnih vrednosti obratovalnega okoljskega profila, kot ga določi kandidat, ter ko je nameščena v skladu z zahtevami kandidatove izjave ali v skladu z zahtevami dokumentacije uporabnika.
Ta dokument zajema določbe člena 3.2 Direktive 2014/53/EU [4] (direktive RE), ki navaja: »/.../ Radijska oprema je izdelana tako, da optimalno uporablja in podpira učinkovito izrabo radijskega spektra, z namenom preprečevanja škodljivega motenja.«
OPOMBA 1: obratovalne zahteve določajo nacionalne uprave in ustrezni sklepi Odbora za elektronske komunikacije.
Poleg tega dokumenta se lahko za opremo na področju uporabe tega dokumenta uporabljajo tudi drugi standardi EN, ki določajo tehnične zahteve v zvezi z bistvenimi zahtevami iz drugih delov člena 3 Direktive 2014/53 [4] (Direktive RE).

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in Directive 2014/53/EU [4] 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
ETSI
10 ETSI EN 302 448 V2.1.1 (2016-05)
emissions disabled radio state: radio state in which the EST does 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
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
maximum relative wind speed: 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
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 302 448 V2.1.1 (2016-05)
nominal antenna diameter: antenna diameter declared by the manufacturer that is a parameter in performance
characteristics and that allows reference to a certain performance
NOTE: An antenna with circular aperture of diameter equal to the nominal diameter does typically have the
performance specified.
Network operators might request antennas of a certain diameter. Then an antenna that is compliant with
the requirement for nominal antenna diameter equal to the requested antenna diameter can be used.
Manufacturers can mark their equipment with antenna diameters used in the requirements during
compliance test.
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.
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

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.

Network operators might request antennas of a certain diameter. Then an antenna that is compliant with the requirement for nominal antenna diameter equal to the requested antenna diameter can be used. Manufacturers can mark their equipment with antenna diameters used in the requirements during compliance test.
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. 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
