The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods for measurements for satellite communications Earth Stations (ES) with the following characteristics:
• The ES is designed for stationary operation.
• The ES 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 transmit and receive frequencies are shown in Table 1.
• The ES transmits within the frequency range from 27,5 GHz to 29,1 GHz and 29,5 GHz to 30,0 GHz, which are bands allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space) among other services.
• At the national level, terminals covered by the present document, might operate on a co-frequency basis, with stations of other FSS networks / systems or with stations of other services. The present document does not cover requirements for ensuring protection of such services.
• The ES receives within the range from 17,30 GHz to 20,20 GHz (FSS).
• The ES uses linear or circular polarization.
• The ES operates through non-geostationary satellites.
• The ES is designed for unattended operation and it does not address specifications or requirements for earth stations operating as gateways or master earth station.
• The ES is controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). This function may be performed centrally (e.g. for a network of ESs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the ES for autonomous control. The NCF is outside the scope of the present document.
• The ES has one or more directive antennas that track satellites. The present document may also be applicable to the frequency bands 30,0 GHz to 31,0 GHz (Earth-to-space) and 20,2 GHz to 21,2 GHz (space-to-Earth) subject to national regulation.
