Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Harmonized EN for Low Data Rate Land Mobile Satellite Earth Stations (LMES) Operating in the 11/12/14 GHz Frequency Bands Covering Essential Requirements under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (V 1.1.1)
"The present document applies to Land Mobile Earth Stations (LMESs) which have the following characteristics: - the LMES 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 LMES 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 LMES could be either vehicle mounted or portable equipment; - the LMES could consist of a number of modules including a keyboard interface to the user; - the LMES use linear polarization; - the LMES operate through a geostationary satellite at least 3??way from any other geostationary satellite operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area; - the antenna of the LMES may be omnidirectional or directional with a means of tracking the satellite; - the LMES are operating as part of a satellite network used for the distribution and/or exchange of information between users; - the LMES are controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the scope of the present document. The present document applies to the LMES with its ancillary equipment and its various terrestrial ports@ and when operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile declared by the applicant. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (RTTE Directive) [1] 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 specifies technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 of the RTTE Directive [1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the ETSI website."
