Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES) - Harmonized EN for Vehicle-Mounted Earth Stations (VMES) operating in the 14/12 GHz frequency bands covering essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE directive

The present document applies to Earth Stations located on board Vehicles, which have the following characteristics.
- The VMES may transmit and receive data when the vehicle is in motion and also when the vehicle is stationary.
- The VMES operates on wheeled or tracked vehicles and, therefore, may be subject to occasional disturbances and interruptions in the satellite link.
- The VMES 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 VMES is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the interface with other communications equipment on a vehicle (usually referred to as th terrestrial interface).
- The VMES transmits on single carrier in the frequency range 14,00 GHz to 14,50 GHz, which is a band allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space) among other services. However, operation of the VMES is intended to be restricted to the lower half of the band in and near those countries that have allocated Fixed Service (FS) to the upper half. Local regulation may permit operation in the upper half of the band.
NOTE 1: For the purposes of the present specification, OFDM modulation is considered as a single carrier.
- The VMES receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz in bands allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-Earth) or the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS) (space-to-Earth), depending on the ITU Region where the VMES is located.
- The VMES uses linear or circular polarization.
- The VMES is designed to operate through a geostationary satellite (or a cluster of co-located geostationary satellites) that is at least 3 ° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequencies and over the same coverage area.
NOTE 2: Satellites may be spaced closer than 3 °. In such cases, the satellite operator will inform the VMES client
of the requirements of the system coordination agreements.
- The VMES transmits at elevations greater than or equal to 7 relative to the local horizon.
- The VMES is designed for unattended operation.
- The VMES is designed for both mobile and stationary operation. In the case of stationary operation, the VMES must not be accessible to the general public and operated safely.
- The VMES is controlled and monitored by an Antenna Control Facility (ACF). This function may be performed centrally (e.g. for a network of VMESs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the VMES for autonomous control. The ACF is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document applies to the VMES with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the applicant and when installed as required by the applicant's declaration or in the user documentation. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (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". NOTE 3: Operational requirements are defined by national administrations and by relevant ECC Decisions. 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 Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

Satelitske zemeljske postaje in sistemi (SES) - Harmonizirani EN za zemeljske postaje na vozilih (VMES), delujoče v frekvenčnih pasovih 14/12 GHz, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive R&TTE

Pričujoči dokument velja za zemeljske postaje nameščene na vozilih, ki imajo naslednje lastnosti.
- VMES lahko oddaja ali sprejema podatke, ko je vozilo v gibanju ali kadar vozilo miruje.
- VMES deluje na vozilih s kolesi ali gosenicami in je zato lahko podvržen občasnim motnjam in prekinitvam na satelitski povezavi.
- VMS deluje kot del satelitskega omrežja (npr. zvezda, mreža ali točka), ki se uporablja za prenos in/ali izmenjavo informacij.
- VMES je sestavljen iz celotne opreme, električne ali mehanske, od same antene do vmesnika z drugo komunikacijsko opremo na vozilu (ponavadi navedeno kot zemeljski vmesnik).
- VMES oddaja na eni nosilni frekvenci v frekvenčnem razponu od 14,00 GHz do 14,50 GHz, ki je med drugimi storitvami dodeljeni pas za stalne satelitske storitve (FSS) (zemlja - vesolje). Vendar je delovanje VMES namenjeno temu, da je omejeno na spodnjo polovico pasu v in okoli držav, ki imajo razporejene stalne storitve (FS) na zgornji polovici. Lokalna ureditev lahko dopušča delovanje v zgornji polovici pasu.
OPOMBA 1: Za namene pričujočih specifikacij se OFDM modulacija šteje kot ena nosilna frekvenca.
- VMES sprejema na eni ali več frekvencah znotraj razpona od 10,70 GHz do 12,75 GHz v pasovih razporejenih za stalne satelitske storitve (FSS) (vesolje-zemlja) ali storitve satelitske radiofuzije (BSS) (vesolje - zemlja), odvisno od ITU regije, kjer se nahaja VMES.  
- VMES uporablja linearno ali krožno polarizacijo.
- VMES je načrtovan za delovanje skozi geostacionarni satelit (ali skupino kolociranih geostacionarnih satelitov), ki je vsaj 3° vstran od katerih koli drugih geostacionarnih satelitov, ki delujejo na istih frekvencah in za isto pokrito območje.
OPOMBA 2: Sateliti so lahko razporejeni bližje od 3°. V takšnih primerih, operaterji satelita obvestijo VMES klienta
o zahtevah sporazuma o koordinaciji sistema.
- VMES oddaja na višinah višjih od ali enakih 7 , glede na lokalni horizont.
- VMES je načrtovan za delovanje brez nadzora.
- VMES je načrtovan za mobilno in stalno delovanje. V primeru stalnega delovanja, VMES ne sme biti dosegljiv širši javnosti in mora biti varno upravljan.
- VMES je upravljan in nadzorovan z napravo za nadzor antene (ACF). Ta funkcija je lahko izvedena centralno (npr. za omrežja VMES z osrednjim omrežnim razdelilnikom) ali izvedena znotraj VMES za samostojno kontrolo.  ACF je zunaj področja uporabe pričujočega dokumenta.
Pričujoči dokument velja za VMES z njegovo pomožno opremo in njegovimi raznimi telekomunikacijskimi priključki ter kadar deluje znotraj mej delovanja okoljskega profila, kot je določen s strani prosilca, in kadar je nameščen, kot se zahteva z izjavo prosilca ali dokumentacijo uporabnika.   Pričujoči dokument je namenjen temu, da zajema določbe člena 3.2. Direktive 1999/5/ES [1] (R&TTE Direktive), ki navaja, da» … radijska oprema je narejena tako, da učinkovito izrablja spekter, razporejen za prizemne/vesoljske radiokomunikacije in orbitalne vire, tako da ne pride do škodljivega motenja«. OPOMBA 3: Operativne zahteve so določili državni upravni organi in pomembne Odločbe EGS. Poleg pričujočega dokumenta se lahko ostali EN, ki določajo tehnične zahteve v skladu z bistvenimi zahtevami v drugih delih člena 3 Direktive 1999/5/ES [1] (R&TTE Direktive), uporabljajo za opremo znotraj področja uporabe pričujočega dokumenta.

Foreword
This 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 Directive 98/34/EC [i.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 [1] 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").
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are given in annex A.

National transposition dates
Date of adoption of this EN: 2 December 2009
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 31 March 2010
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 30 September 2010
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 30 September 2011

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [1]. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.2].

Figure 1: VMES System Overview
• The VMES may transmit and receive data when the vehicle is in motion and also when the vehicle is
stationary.
• The VMES operates on wheeled or tracked vehicles and, therefore, may be subject to occasional disturbances
and interruptions in the satellite link.
• The VMES 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 VMES is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the
interface with other communications equipment on a vehicle (usually referred to as the terrestrial interface).
• The VMES transmits on single carrier in the frequency range 14,00 GHz to 14,50 GHz, which is a band
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space) among other services. However, operation of
the VMES is intended to be restricted to the lower half of the band in and near those countries that have
allocated Fixed Service (FS) to the upper half. Local regulation may permit operation in the upper half of the
band.
NOTE 1: For the purposes of the present specification, OFDM modulation is considered as a single carrier.
• The VMES receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz in bands
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-Earth) or the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS)
(space-to-Earth), depending on the ITU Region where the VMES is located.
• The VMES uses linear or circular polarization.
• The VMES is designed to operate through a geostationary satellite (or a cluster of co-located geostationary
satellites) that is at least 3 ° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequencies and
over the same coverage area.
NOTE 2: Satellites may be spaced closer than 3 °. In such cases, the satellite operator will inform the VMES client
of the requirements of the system coordination agreements.

• The VMES transmits at elevations greater than or equal to 7 ° relative to the local horizon.
• The VMES is designed for unattended operation.
• The VMES is designed for both mobile and stationary operation. In the case of stationary operation, the
VMES must not be accessible to the general public and operated safely.
• The VMES is controlled and monitored by an Antenna Control Facility (ACF). This function may be
performed centrally (e.g. for a network of VMESs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the
VMES for autonomous control. The ACF is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document applies to the VMES with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and
when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the applicant and
when installed as requi

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES), and is now submitted for the Public Enquiry phase of the ETSI standards
Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Directive 98/34/EC [i.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 [1] 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").
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are given in annex A.

Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.2].

Figure 1: VMES System Overview
• The VMES may transmit and receive data when the vehicle is in motion and also when the vehicle is
stationary.
• The VMES operates on wheeled or tracked vehicles and, therefore, may be subject to occasional disturbances
and interruptions in the satellite link.
• The VMES 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 VMES is comprised of all the equipment, electrical and mechanical, from the antenna itself to the
interface with other communications equipment on a vehicle (usually referred to as the terrestrial interface).
• The VMES transmits on single carrier in the frequency range 14,00 GHz to 14,50 GHz, which is a band
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space) among other services. However, operation of
the VMES is intended to be restricted to the lower half of the band in and near those countries that have
allocated Fixed Service (FS) to the upper half. Local regulation may permit operation in the upper half of the
band.
NOTE 1: For the purposes of the present specification, OFDM modulation is considered as a single carrier.
• The VMES receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 10,70 GHz to 12,75 GHz in bands
allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (space-to-Earth) or the Broadcast Satellite Service (BSS)
(space-to-Earth), depending on the ITU Region where the VMES is located.
• The VMES uses linear or circular polarization.
• The VMES is designed to operate through a geostationary satellite (or a cluster of co-located geostationary
satellites) that is at least 3 ° away from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequencies and
over the same coverage area.

NOTE 2: Satellites may be spaced closer than 3 °. In such cases, the satellite operator will inform the VMES client
of the requirements of the system coordination agreements.
• The VMES transmits at elevations greater than or equal to 7° relative to the local horizon.
• The VMES is designed for unattended operation.
• The VMES is designed for both mobile and stationary operation. In the case of stationary operation, the
VMES must not be accessible to the general public and operated safely.
• The VMES is controlled and monitored by a Antenna Control Facility (ACF). This function may be performed
centrally (e.g. for a network of VMESs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the VMES for
autonomous control. The ACF is outside the scope of the present document.
The present document applies to the VMES with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and
when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the applicant and
when installed as required by the applicant's declaration or in the user documentation.
