Foreword
This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical
Committee Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [3] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive") [1].
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are given in annex A.

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards designed to fit in a modular structure to cover all radio and
telecommunications terminal equipment under the R&TTE Directive [1]. Each standard is a module in the structure.
The modular structure is shown in figure 1.

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 [4].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [5] 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 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 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.
Remarks on the present document
The present document applies to Satellite Interactive Terminals (SITs) and Satellite User Terminals (SUTs) either for
individual or collective use.
The present document deals with the specification defined to protect other users of the frequency spectrum, both
satellite and terrestrial, from unacceptable interference.
The determination of the parameters of the user earth stations using a given geostationary 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.
The requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility with other radio services. The levels,
however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomenon is present, e.g. a radar or broadcast site in the
near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to the source of interference, or the
interfered part or both.
The present document does not contain any requirement, recommendation or information about the installation of SITs
and SUTs.

1 Scope
The present document applies to Satellite Interactive Terminals (SIT) and Satellite User Terminals (SUT) operating as
part of a bi-directional satellite network. Satellite Terminal (ST) is used in the present document as a generic name that
refers equally to a SIT and/or a SUT.
In such a network a Network Control Facility (NCF) is responsible for the monitoring and control of the transmit
functions of the STs. These STs have the following characteristics:
• in the case of SITs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 10,70 GHz to
11,70 GHz and from 12,50 GHz to 12,75 GHz as well as the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) frequency
range from 11,70 GHz to 12,50 GHz;
• in the case of SUTs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 19,70 GHz to
20,20 GHz and from 17,70 GHz to 19,70 GHz as well as the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) frequency
range from 21,40 GHz to 22,00 GHz;
• in all cases ST transmission is in the frequency band allocated to FSS from 27,50 GHz to 29,50 GHz;
• STs transmit towards geostationary satellites with spacing down to 2° away from any other geostationary
satellite operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area;
• linear or circular polarization is used for transmission or reception;
• the received signals may be analogue and/or digital;
• the transmitted signals are always of digital nature;
• the ST antenna diameter does not exceed 1,8 m, or equivalent effective area;
• the ST is designed for unattended operations.
The equipment considered in the present document comprises both the outdoor unit, usually composed of the antenna
subsystem and associated upconverter, power amplifier and Low Noise Block (LNB) downconverter, and the indoor
unit, usually composed of receive and transmit logic as well as the modulator, including cables between these two units.
The present document applies to the ST with its ancillary equipment and its various ports and when operated within the
boundary limits of all the operational environmental profile declared by the applicant and when installed as required by
the applicant by declaration or in the user documentation.
All parts of the indoor unit related to reception, processing and presentation of the received information except the
control channel are not within the scope of the present document. The syntax of the control channel messages is outside
the scope of the present document.
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: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in the R&TTE Directive [1] and the following
apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment used in connection with a ST is considered as ancillary if the three following
conditions are met:
a) the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with the ST to provide additional operational and/or control
features; and
b) the equipment can not be used on a stand alone basis, to provide user functions independently of the ST; and
c) the absence of the equipment does not inhibit the operation of the ST.
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 ST may transmit and does not transmit any carrier
NOTE 1: The phrase "the ST may transmit" means that all the conditions for transmission are satisfied (e.g. in a
state where transmissions are permitted and no failure detected).
NOTE 2: The existence of a "Carrier-off" radio state depends on the system of transmission used. For STs designed
for continuous transmission mode there may be no "Carrier-off" radio state.
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 301 360 V1.2.1 (2006-02)
"carrier-on" radio state: radio state in which the ST may transmit and transmits a carrier
Control Channel (CC): channel or channels by which STs receive control information from the NCF for their network
NOTE: Typically the CC(s) is/are carried via the same or collocated satellite as used for transmission of user data
and within the internal protocol structure of the broadcast system.
EIRP : maximum e.i.r.p. capability of the ST as declared by the applicant
max
EIRP : either
nom
a) when uplink power control is not implemented EIRP ; or
max
b) when uplink power control is implemented, the maximum required e.i.r.p. of the ST under clear sky condition
as declared by the applicant.
NOTE: The applicant may declare different values of EIRP and EIRP for each combination of occupied
max nom
bandwidth and transmission parameters (see clause 4.2.1).
emissions disabled radio state: radio state in which the ST must not transmit a carrier
NOTE: This radio state only applies in certain CMF states as defined in clause 4.1.2 (e.g. before system
monitoring pass, before the control channel is received, when a failure is detected, when the ST is
commanded to disable). The "Emissions disabled" radio state requires lower unwanted emissions than the
"Carrier-off" radio state.
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment within the scope of the present
document is required to comply with the provisions of the present document
indoor unit: it is composed of that part of the ST which is not part of the outdoor unit
NOTE: It is generally installed inside a building and is connected to the outdoor unit.
integral antenna: antenna which may not be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
nominated bandwidth: bandwidth of the ST radio frequency transmission nominated by the applicant
NOTE 1: The nominated bandwidth does not exceed 5 times the occupied bandwidth.
NOTE 2: 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: width of the signal spectrum 10 dB below the maximum inband density
outdoor unit: part of the ST intended to be installed outdoor, as declared by the applicant, or as indicated in the user
documentation
The outdoor unit usually comprises of three 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) downconverter, 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 (IF);
c) the upconverter and the power amplifier which convert from the IF to RF and amplify the low level RF signals
for transmission through the antenna subsystem.
NOTE: The installation equipment 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.

removable antenna: antenna which may be removed during the tests according to the applicant's statement
Satellite Terminal (ST): throughout the present document either a SIT or a SUT
spurious radiation: any radiation outside the nominated bandwidth
transmission disabled state: ST is in this state when it is not authorized by the NCF to transmit
uplink power density control: control of the e.i.r.p. and/or occupied bandwidth and/or other transmission parameters
(e.g. FEC, modulation, symbol rate) of the transmitted signal in order to adjust the e.i.r.p. in a given measurement
bandwidth
NOTE: Uplink power density control may be used to respond to uplink fade conditions.

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 General
4.1.1 Environmental profile
The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the
equipment, which shall be declared by the applicant. The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of
the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental
profile.
The environmental profile for operation of the equipment shall include the ranges of humidity, temperature and supply
voltage.
4.1.2 ST states and radio states
For the purpose of the present document the following four ST states are defined, without presuming the effective
implementation of the ST state machine:
- "Non valid";
- "Initial phase";
- "Transmission disabled"; and
- "Transmission enabled".
The four ST states are represented in figure 4 and are used in clause 4.2.7 for the specification of the Control and
Monitoring Functions (CMFs).
In the "Non-valid" state and in the "Transmission disabled" state the ST is not allowed to transmit. In the
"Transmission-enabled" state the ST is allowed to transmit. In the "Initial phase" state the ST is only allowed to transmit
initial bursts or is waiting for a transmit enable/disable command.
The ST "may transmit" when all the conditions for transmission are satisfied (e.g. in a state where transmissions are
permitted, no failure detected).
The following radio states of the ST are defined:
- "Emissions disabled" when the ST must not transmit any carrier;
- "Carrier-off" when the ST may transmit and does not transmit any carrier;
- "Carrier-on" when the ST may transmit and transmits a carrier.
Table 1a gives the only possible combinations of the ST states and radio states which shall apply, wi
