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 (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.

National transposition dates
Date of adoption of this EN: 2 November 2001
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 28 February 2002
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 31 August 2002
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 31 August 2003

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 figure 1 shows the new single multi-part product EMC standard for radio, and the existing collection of
generic and product standards currently used under the EMC Directive. The existing separate product EMC standards
can be used until their dates of cessation of presumption of conformity published in the O.J.E.C. For article 3.1a
figure 1 shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive 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 [1] 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 [1] 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.
The present document is based on TBR 027 (see Bibliography).
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
MES.
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.

1 Scope
The present document applies to Mobile Earth Stations (MESs), except aeronautical mobile earth stations, which have
the following characteristics:
- The MES are operating in one or more frequency ranges of the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS):
- 10,70 GHz to 11,70 GHz (space to earth);
- 12,50 GHz to 12,75 GHz (space to earth);
- 14,00 GHz to 14,25 GHz (earth to space).
Because the transmissions from the MES to the Satellite in the 14,00 GHz to 14,25 GHz band fall under a secondary
allocation, the transmissions should not cause harmful interference to primary services (e.g. the Fixed Satellite Service
(FSS)) and at the same time cannot claim protection from harmful interference from those services.
- The MES may be either:
- a Land Mobile Earth Station (LMES) radio equipment; and/or
- a Maritime Mobile Earth Station (MMES) radio equipment not providing those distress and safety functions
required by the Inter
...
