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 Directive 98/34/EC [4] (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 [2].
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 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. For this reason the requirement on the cross polarization discrimination which was in
TBR 043 (see bibliography) has not been copied in the present document and inter-modulation limits inside the band
5,850 GHz to7,075 GHz are to be determined by system design and are subject to satellite operator specifications.
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 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
VSAT.
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.

1 Scope
The present document applies to any Very Small Aperture Terminal (VSAT) which has the following characteristics:
• the VSAT is operating in one or more frequency ranges within the following bands allocated to the Fixed
Satellite Service (FSS), shared with other services, e.g. the Fixed Service (FS) and the Mobile Service (MS):
- 5,850 GHz to 7,075 GHz (earth-to-space);
- 3,400 GHz to 4,200 GHz (space-to-earth);
• the VSAT uses linear or circular polarization;
• the VSAT operates through a geostationary satellite at least 3° away from any other geostationary satellite
operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area;
• the VSAT antenna diameter does not exceed 7,3 m, or equivalent effective area;
• the VSAT is either:
- a transmit-only VSAT: designed for transmission-only of radio-communications signals in the frequency
band (earth-to-space) specified above; or
- a transmit-and-receive VSAT: designed for transmission-and-reception of radio-communications signals
in the frequency bands specified above; or
- a receive-only VSAT: designed for reception-only of radio-communications signals in the frequency
band (space-to-earth) specified above;
• the VSAT is designed usually for unattended operation;
• the VSAT 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 transmit-only and transmit-and-receive VSAT is controlled and monitored by a Centralized Control and
Monitoring Function (CCMF). The CCMF is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document applies to the VSAT with its ancillary equipment and its various terrestrial 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 (R&TTE Directive) [1] 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 Directive 1999/5/EC [1] and the following
apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment used in connection with a VSAT is considered as ancillary if the three following
conditions are met:
a) the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with the VSAT 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 VSAT;
and
c) the absence of the equipment does not inhibit the operation of the VSAT.
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 VSAT may transmit and does not transmit any carrier
NOTE 1: The phrase "the VSAT 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 VSATs
designed for continuous transmission mode there may be no "Carrier-off" radio state.
