SIST EN 301 459 V1.3.1:2006

Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Harmonized EN for Satellite Interactive Terminals (SIT) and Satellite User Terminals (SUT) transmitting towards satellites in geostationary orbit in the 29,5 GHz to 30,0 GHz frequency bands covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive

The present document applies to Satellite Interactive Terminals (SIT) and Satellite User Terminals (SUT) operating as part of a bi-directional satellite network. Satellite Terminal (ST) is used in the present document as a generic name that refers equally to a SIT and/or a SUT.
In such a network a Network Control Facility (NCF) is responsible for the monitoring and control of the transmit functions of the STs. These STs have the following characteristics:
- in the case of SITs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 10,70 GHz to 11,70 GHz and from 12,50 GHz to 12,75 GHz as well as the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) frequency range from 11,70 GHz to 12,50 GHz;
- in the case of SUTs reception is in the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) frequency ranges from 19,70 GHz to 20,20 GHz and from 17,70 GHz to 19,70 GHz as well as the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) frequency range from 21,40 GHz to 22,00 GHz;
- in all cases ST transmission is in the frequency band allocated to FSS on a primary basis from 29,5 GHz to 30,0 GHz;
- STs transmit through geostationary satellites with spacing down to 2° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area;
- linear or circular polarization is used for transmission or reception;
- the received signals may be analogue and/or digital;
- the transmitted signals are always of digital nature;
- the ST antenna diameter does not exceed 1,8 m, or equivalent corresponding aperture;
- the ST is designed for unattended operations.
The equipment considered in the present document comprises both the outdoor unit, usually composed of the  antenna subsystem and associated upconverter, power amplifier and Low Noise Block (LNB) downconverter, and the indoor unit, usually composed of receive and transmit logic as well as the modulator, including cables between these two units. The present document applies to the ST with its ancillary equipment and its various ports and when operated within the boundary limits of all the operational environmental profile declared by the applicant and when installed as required by the applicant by declaration or in the user documentation. 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.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [2] (R&TTE Directive) 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 [2] 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/.

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 [1] (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") [2].
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [2] are given in annex A.

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 [5].
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [6] 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 present document applies to Satellite Interactive Terminals (SIT) and Satellite User Terminals (SUT) either for
individual or collective use.
The present document deals with the specification defined to protect other users of the frequency spectrum, both
satellite and terrestrial, from harmful interference.
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.
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 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 SITs
and SUTs.
Typically, in case of SITs, the received signal will be a digitally modulated signal as defined in EN 300 421 [4].
