Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Maritime Mobile Earth Stations (MMES) operating in the 1,5/1,6 GHz bands providing Low Bit Rate Data Communications (LBRDC) in the Maritime Mobile Satellite Service (MMSS), not intended for distress and safety communications

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) provides specifications for the standardization of the characteristics of Maritime Mobile Earth Stations (MMESs) not providing those distress and safety functions required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) with both transmit and receive capabilities in order to limit interference to radio communications services. The geostationary satellite networks referred to in this ETS operate under the Maritime Mobile Satellite Service (MMSS). The MMESs operate as part of a geostationary satellite network providing Low Bit-Rate Data Communications (LBRDC). The MMESs could consist of a number of modules including a keyboard interface to the user.
The main specifications are contained in three categories related to:
- safety: to protect persons from potentially dangerous RF power densities;
- unwanted emissions: to protect terrestrial and satellite radio services from harmful interference;
- MMES control and monitoring: to specify a minimum set of Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF) to be implemented on each MMES in order to minimize the probability that they originate unwanted transmissions that may give rise to harmful interference to other systems.
Additionally to these specifications the satellite operator may require other specifications or different limits.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) provides specifications for the standardization of the
characteristics of Maritime Mobile Earth Stations (MMESs) not providing those distress and safety
functions required by the International Maritime Organization (IMO) with both transmit and receive
capabilities in order to limit interference to radio communications services.
The geostationary satellite networks referred to in this ETS operate under the Maritime Mobile Satellite
Service (MMSS). The MMESs operate as part of a geostationary satellite network providing Low Bit-Rate
Data Communications (LBRDC). The frequency bands allocated by the Radio Regulations [5] to the
MMSS are as follows:
MMSS
Transmit frequencies 1 626,5 to 1 645,5 MHz
Receive frequencies 1 525,0 to 1 545,0 MHz
The MMESs could consist of a number of modules including a keyboard interface to the user.
The main specifications are contained in three categories related to:
- safety: to protect persons from potentially dangerous RF power densities;
- unwanted emissions: to protect terrestrial and satellite radio services from harmful interference;
- MMES control and monitoring: to specify a minimum set of Control and Monitoring Functions
(CMF) to be implemented on each MMES in order to minimize the probability that they originate
unwanted transmissions that may give rise to harmful interference to other systems.
Additionally to these specifications the satellite operator may require other specifications or different limits.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
Internally Mounted Equipment (IME): Equipment or units designed to be protected from the weather.
Externally Mounted Equipment (EME): Equipment or units designed to be exposed to the weather.
nominated bandwidth: The bandwidth of the MMES radio frequency transmission is nominated by the
manufacturer. The nominated bandwidth encompasses all spectral elements of the transmission which
have a level greater than the specified spurious levels. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to take
account of the transmit carrier frequency stability. The nominated bandwidth is within the MMSS transmit
frequency band within which the MMES operates.
unwanted emissions: Unwanted emissions are emissions falling outside the nominated bandwidth.
Special Test Equipment (STE): Specific equipment which enables the tests specified in this ETS to be
carried out.
Equipment Under Test (EUT): For the purpose of this ETS the EUT includes all units necessary for
intended operation.
This includes:
- the Externally Mounted Equipment (EME);
- the Internally Mounted Equipment (IME) including the data terminal equipment such as keyboard,
Video Display Units (VDU), printer, etc.;
- all interconnecting cables and power supply leads.
3.2 Abbreviations

4 Tests
4.1 Special Test Equipment (STE)
The STE shall be supplied by the manufacturer or system provider. Since the STE will be specific for the
particular system, it is not possible to provide detailed specifications in this ETS. However, the following
baseline is provided:

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 740 E1:2006
Page 9
ETS 300 740: April 1997
- special test arrangements are required to simulate the satellite signal, thus enabling the MMES to
transmit, to allow measurement of transmission parameters;
- any specification of these special test arrangements which may have direct or indirect effects on
any specification of this ETS shall be clearly stated by the manufacturer;
- when using the STE it shall be ensured that no transmission to the satellite occurs.
4.2 Test report
The test report shall contain:
- the value of the nominated bandwidth declared by the manufacturer;
- the results of the tests;
- all parameters and operational conditions.
5 Radio Frequency (RF)
In this clause, whenever a change of limit between adjacent frequency bands occurs, the lower of the
two limits shall apply at the transition frequency.
5.1 Radio frequency radiation protection
Purpose:
To ensure the protection of persons from potentially dangerous RF power densities.
Specification:
The radiating part of the equipment (which includes the exterior of any radome or other antenna enclosure
where fitted) shall be labelled with a warning notice which shall be clearly visible when the equipment is in
its normal operating configuration. This notice shall indicate the closest distances to the radiating part
within which a person may approach the equipment without experiencing radio frequency power density
2
levels in excess of 8, 10, 25 and 100 W/m , when under worst case conditions (e.g. maximum power,
maximum on/off ratio), averaged over a 6 minute period. This notice shall also state that before
approaching the radiating part within any distance closer than that indicated, the MMES equipment shall
be switched-off or otherwise disabled so that it shall not transmit.
Where the radiating part is mounted in a position where it is not normally visible, further warning notices
shall be provided to be attached to the ship so as to be clearly visible to anyone attempting to reach the
radiating part of the equipment.
In the case where the antenna is enclosed in a radome, or other antenna enclosure, and when no
2
RF power density greater than 8 W/m , when under worst case conditions (e.g. maximum power,
maximum on/off ratio), averaged over a 6 minute period, is produced outside of this radome, or antenna
enclosure, then it is not necessary to label the radiating part or provide labels for the ship in the manner
indicated above. Instead, the external surface of the radome or the antenna enclosure shall be clearly
labelled with a warning that the MMES equipment shall be switched-off, or otherwise disabled, so that it
shall not transmit before any work requiring the removal of the radome or antenna enclosure takes place.
Verification:
2
Verification of the distances below which exist RF power densities in excess of 8, 10, 25 and 100 W/m ,
when under worst case conditions (e.g. maximum power, maximum on/off ratio) averaged over a 6 minute
period, shall be demonstrated by documentary evidence. The manufacturer shall quantify the worst case
conditions.
Conformance with the labelling requirements of this subclause shall be demonstrated by visual inspection
of the radiating part and, if relevant, an examination of the notices provided by the manufacturer.

5.2 Unwanted emissions outside the band 1 626,5 - 1 645,5 MHz
Purpose:
Protection of terrestrial and satellite services from emissions caused by MMESs outside the band 1 626,5
to 1 645,5 MHz.
Specification:
The unwanted emissions from the MMES outside the band 1 626,5 to 1 645,5 MHz within which the
MMES is designed to operate shall be below the following limits.
For unwanted emissions below 1 GHz, the levels of field strength shall not exceed the values given in
