1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) provides specifications for the standardization of the
characteristics of Mobile Earth Stations (MESs) with both transmit and receive capabilities in order to limit
interference to radiocommunications services.
The Low Earth Orbiting (LEO) satellite networks referred to in this ETS operate under the Mobile Satellite
Service (MSS). The MESs operate as part of a LEO satellite network providing Low Bit Rate Data
Communications (LBRDC).
The frequency bands under which the MESs operate should be within the following bands:
MES MES
Transmit frequencies Receive frequencies
and Service allocations and Service allocations
148 MHz to 149,9 MHz Mobile-Satellite 137 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
Service 137,025 MHz
149,9 MHz to 150,05 MHz Land Mobile-Satellite 137,025 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
Service 137,175 MHz
235 MHz to 322 MHz Mobile-Satellite 137,175 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
Service 137,825 MHz
335,4 MHz to 399,9 MHz Mobile-Satellite 137,825 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
Service 138 MHz
399,9 MHz to 400,05 MHz Land Mobile-Satellite 235 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
Service 322 MHz
335,4 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
399,9 MHz
400,15 MHz to Mobile-Satellite Service
401 MHz
Some LEO satellite networks provide Low Bit Rate Data Communications (LBRDC) using short burst, low
duty cycle MES transmissions in order to reduce interference with existing users. The interference levels
can also be decreased by modulation techniques: Direct Sequence - Spread Spectrum Multiple Access
(DS-SSMA) or Frequency Division Multiple Access (FDMA) using Dynamic Channel Activity Assignment
(DCAA) as described in ITU-R Recommendations M 1039 and M 1087.
These MESs generally have the following characteristics:
- the MESs could be either a Based MES (BMES), a Vehicle mounted MES (VMES) or a Portable
MES (PMES);
- the MES could consist of a number of modules including suitable interfaces to the user.
The main specifications are contained in two categories related to:
- unwanted emissions limitation: to protect terrestrial and space radiocommunications services,
and the radio astronomy services from harmful interference;
- MES control and monitoring functions: to specify a minimum set of Control and Monitoring
Functions (CMFs) to be implemented on each MES in order to minimize the probability that they
originate unwanted transmissions that may give rise to harmful interference to other systems.
2 Normative references

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
BMES: A MES intended to be installed in a fixed location, and which is powered either by dc or ac mains.
carrier-off state: A MES is in this state when it is not transmitting a signal, i.e. not in the carrier-on state.
carrier-on state: A MES is in this state when it is transmitting a signal in a continuous or non-continuous
mode.
control channel: A Control Channel may be either a command to a particular MES or a signal from the
satellite containing control information to appropriately enable or disable transmissions from a MES.
Internally Mounted Equipment (IME) and Externally Mounted Equipment (EME): The EMEs are the
modules to be externally mounted as stated by the manufacturer or indicated in the user documentation,
the IMEs are the remaining modules intended to be internally mounted Where different specifications
apply to IME and EME, this is noted in the relevant text.
nominated bandwidth: The bandwidth of the MES radio frequency transmission is nominated by the
terminal manufacturer. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to encompass all spectral elements of
the transmission which have a level greater than the specified unwanted emissions limits. The nominated
bandwidth is wide enough to take account of the transmit carrier frequency stability. The nominated
bandwidth is within the MSS transmit frequency band within which the MES operates.
PMES: A MES intended to be portable , and which is powered by a stand alone battery, and generally
intended to be self-contained and free standing. A PMES would normally consist of a single module, but
may consist of several interconnected modules. In some cases different specifications apply to PMES and
this is noted in the relevant text.
unwanted emissions: Unwanted emissions are those falling outside the nominated bandwidth.
VMES: A MES intended to be installed on a vehicle. A VMES may consist of one or several
interconnected modules as follows:
NOTE: For FDMA / DCAA systems the Nominated Bandwidth does not exceed 25 kHz.

4 Test Report
The test report shall contain:
- the value of the nominated bandwidth, declared by the manufacturer;
- the antenna gain pattern;
- the results of the tests;
- all parameters and operational conditions.
5 Radio Frequency (RF)
Whenever a change of limit between adjacent frequency bands occurs in this subclause, the lower of the
two limits shall apply at the transition frequency.
5.1 Unwanted emission outside the bands 148 to 150,05 MHz, 235 to 322 MHz, 335,4 to
399,9 MHz and 399,9 to 400,05 MHz
Purpose:
Protection of other terrestrial services, space radiocommunications services and the radio astronomy
services from emissions caused by MESs outside the bands 148 to 150,05 MHz, 235 to 322 MHz, 335,4
to 399,9 MHz and 399,9 to 400,05 MHz.
Specification:
With carrier off the MES unwanted emission shall not exceed 33 dBpW, in any 100 kHz.
The unwanted emissions from the MES outside the uplink bands 148 - 150,05 MHz, 235 to 322 MHz,
335,4 to 399,9 MHz and 399,9 to 400,05 MHz, within which the MES is designed to operate, shall not
exceed the limits shown in the following tables.

1 000 to 12 750 60 1 MHz
Verification:
By measurement of unwanted emissions generated by an operating MES.
All RF tests in this subclause shall be carried out at ambient environmental conditions of the test
laboratory and for a nominal power supply voltage.
All tests with carrier on shall be undertaken with the transmitter operating at full power and with the
maximum transmit burst rate where applicable.
To enable the performance tests to be carried out, the use of Special Test Equipment (STE), supplied by
the manufacturer, may be necessary. Since this test equipment will be specific for the particular system, it
is not possible to provide detailed specifications in the ETS.
However, the following baseline is provided:
- if the MES requires to receive a modulated carrier from the satellite in order to transmit, then
special test arrangements are required to simulate the satellite signal, thus enabling the MES to
transmit allowing measurement of transmission parameters;
- any specification of these special test arrangements which may have direct or indirect effects on
any requirement or recommendation of this ETS shall be clearly stated by the manufacturer.
Test procedure:
The full system shall be tested according to the test procedure given in annex B.
