Satellite Earth Stations and Systems (SES); Network Control Facilites for MES Providing Low Bit Rate Data Communications (LBRDCs) Using LEO Satellites Operating Below 1 GHz
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) provides specifications for the standardization of the characteristics of the minimum required Network Control Facilities (NFCs) for Mobile Earth Stations (MESs) with both transmit and receive capabilities in order to ensure that the network operator is able to suppress and enable the transmissions from the MESs. These facilities will insure that certain interference situations@ resulting from the emissions from interfering or faulty MESs@ will be terminated; in particular for the protection of the radio astronomy services. This ETS defines specifications for the control facilities in a satellite network in which MESs as defined in ETS 300 721 [1] operate. This ETS deals with specifications@ defined in order to protect other users of the frequency spectrum from unacceptable interference.
