Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399.
Remarks on the present document
The determination of the parameters of the user earth stations using a given geo-stationary 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 is based on the application of ITU-R Resolution 902 (WRC-03) (see bibliography).
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 either 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 the
ESV.
All parts of the below-deck 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 based upon the standard for environmental conditions for marine navigational equipment,
EN 60945 [4]. In addition, attention should be paid to clause 11.1 (Acoustic noise and signals), and clause 11.2
(Compass safe distance) of EN 60945 [4].

1 Scope
The present document applies to Earth Stations located on board Vessels (ESVs) which have the following
characteristics:
• The ESV is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the interface
with other communications equipment on board (usually referred to as the terrestrial interface).
• The ESV transmits in the frequency range from 5 925 MHz to 6 425 MHz allocated to the Fixed Satellite
Services (FSS) (earth-to-space).
• The ESV receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 3,700 GHz to 4,200 GHz in the bands
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-earth), depending on the ITU Region where the ESV
is located.
• The ESV transmits a single carrier.
• The ESV uses linear or circular polarization.
• The ESV operates through a geostationary satellite at least 2° to 3° away from any other geostationary satellite
operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area.
NOTE 1: The satellite spacing is mainly equal to 3° in ITU Regions 1 and 3 and 2° in ITU Region 2.
The ESV transmits at elevations greater or equal to the minimum elevation angle declared by the applicant.
• The ESV antenna diameter is not smaller than 2,4 m.
• The ESV is designed for transmission and reception of radio-communications signals in accordance with any
of the frequency bands specified above.
• The ESV is usually designed for unattended operation.
• The ESV 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 between users.
• The ESV 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 ESV with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and
when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile declared by the applicant and when
installed as required by the applicant by 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".
The present EN incorporates the technical limitations listed in annex 2 of ITU-R Resolution 902 (WRC-03), ECC
Report (05)69, and ECC Report (06)91 (see bibliography).
NOTE 2: According to Res. 902, any transmission from ESVs within the 300 km minimum distance of each
country where the ESV transmit frequency band is used by the Fixed Service will be subject to the prior
agreement of the concerned administration(s), which may specify additional operational requirements, or
to the relevant ECC Decision.
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.
NOTE 3: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] and the
following apply:
above-deck unit: part of the ESV intended to be installed above deck, as declared by the applicant, or as indicated in
the user documentation
The above-deck unit usually comprises 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;
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 301 447 V1.1.1 (2007-08)
d) the stabilization and tracking subsystems that ensure pointing of the antenna main beam towards the satellite
within the required accuracy.
NOTE: 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.
ancillary equipment: equipment used in connection with an ESV is considered as ancillary if the three following
conditions are met:
a) the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with the ESV to provide additional operational and/or control
features (e.g. to extend control to another position or location); and
b) the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis, to provide user functions independently of the ESV; and
c) the absence of the equipment does not inhibit the operation of the ESV.
applicant: manufacturer or his authorized representative within the European Community or the person responsible for
placing the apparatus on the market
below-deck unit: part of the ESV equipment which is installed inside the vessel (i.e. below deck) and its connection
cables with the above deck units
carrier-off radio state: radio state in which the ESV may transmit and does not transmit any carrier
NOTE 1: The phrase "the ESV 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 ESV is correctly pointed towards the
satellite).
NOTE 2: The existence of a "Carrier-off" radio state depends on the system of transmission used. For ESVs
designed for continuous transmission mode there may be no "Carrier-off" radio state.
carrier-on radio state: radio state in which the ESV may transmit and transmits a carrier
Control Channel (CC): channel or channels by which ESVs receive control information from the NCF
EIRP : maximum e.i.r.p. capability of the ESV as declared by the applicant
max
emissions disabled radio state: radio state in which the ESV must not emit
NOTE: Examples of cases where the ESV is in this radio state: before system monitoring pass, before information
of the control channel is correctly received, when a failure is detected, when the ESV is commanded to
disable, and when the ESV is in a location requiring cessation of emissions.
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
external control channel: control channel which is either (i) carried by the ESV network via the same or another
satellite, but not within the internal protocol of the ESV system, or (ii) carried by any other radi
