Foreword
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) has been produced by the Satellite Earth Stations and Systems
(SES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European
Commission issued under Council Directive 83/189/EEC (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 Council Directive
91/97/EEC of 29 October 1993 supplementing Directive 91/263/EEC in respect of satellite earth station
equipment (the "SES Directive").
A common technical regulation may be established by the European Commission in accordance with the
Directive.
This TBR is based on ETS 300 423 which has been used for type approval purposes on a national basis
for several years.
Due to a new requirement for the protection of the Aeronautical Radio Navigation Service based on the
Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS), scheduled to offer approach and landing operational services
likely not before the year 2005, new limits for unwanted emissions will be necessary. These new limits
may not be completely met by existing or presently marketed equipment that was developed on the basis
of ETS 300 423. Consequently the following transitional arrangement is necessary.
This TBR incorporates two sets of limits. One set (table 2a) applicable up to 1 June 2002 and a more
stringent set of limits (table 2b) applicable after this date for the protection of the Aeronautical Radio
Navigation Service in the GNSS band.
This TBR is intended to be part of an Intermediate Common Technical Regulation (I-CTR), the
applicability of which is expected to be limited to 1 June 2002. It is intended that the final CTR contains
only table 2b as normative and table 2a as an informative historical annex.
A TBR is limited to being the basis for equipment type approval. This TBR therefore cannot contain
regulations for the prevention of interference to GNSS operation after 2005 due to terminals type
approved prior to 1 June 2002, on the basis of this TBR or on the basis of a past national regulation (e.g.
based on ETS 300 423).
The protection of the GNSS band from the year 2005 onwards from harmful interference from LMESs
approved before 1 June 2002 or already in service before the CTR enters into force may be obtained
either by decisions of the national regulatory authorities to stop the operation of such equipment, or by
operational restrictions agreed by the regulatory authority with satellite operators. It is recommended that
such decisions should be harmonized at the European level. Such decisions are outside the scope of a
TBR.
Introduction
The Satellite Earth Station (SES) Directive [1] which supplements the Telecommunications Terminal
Equipment (TTE) Directive [2] concerns the harmonization of conditions for the placing on the market of
such equipment.
Two classes of standards are applicable to SES equipment. European Telecommunication Standards
(ETS) give the full technical specifications for this equipment, whereas Technical Bases for Regulation
(TBR) give the essential requirements under the SES Directive [1] and the TTE Directive [2] for placing
such equipment on the market. Receive-only equipment not intended for terrestrial connection to the
public telecommunications network may be put into use. Nothing in this TBR shall be construed to prevent
the use of Community internal production control procedures as set out in the annexes to the two
Directives for such receive-only equipment. This TBR is based on ETS 300 423 (see annex B,
Bibliography).

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies the technical requirements that apply to Land Mobile
Earth Stations (LMES) for compliance with Articles 4.1 and 4.3 of the SES Directive [1].
These LMES have the following characteristics:
- the LMES are operating in one or more frequency ranges of the Land Mobile Satellite Service
(LMSS):
- 1 525,0 MHz to 1 544,0 MHz (space-to-earth);
- 1 555,0 MHz to 1 559,0 MHz (space-to-earth);
- 1 631,5 MHz to 1 634,5 MHz (earth-to-space);
- 1 656,5 MHz to 1 660,5 MHz (earth-to-space);
- the LMES could be either vehicle mounted or portable equipment;
- the LMES operate through geostationary satellites as part of a network providing voice and/or data
communications;
- the LMES are controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). The NCF is outside the
scope of this TBR.
This TBR applies to the LMES operated under the conditions which are within the ranges of humidity,
temperature and supply voltage declared by the manufacturer.
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.
This TBR 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
either the source of interference, or the interfered part or both.
This TBR does not contain any requirement, recommendation or information about the installation of the
LMES.
Compliance of a LMES to the requirements of this TBR does not imply compliance to any requirement
related to the use of the LMES (e.g. licensing requirements).
2 Normative references
This TBR incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references, subsequent amendments to, or revisions of any of these publications apply to this TBR
only when incorporated into it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this TBR, the following definitions apply:
antenna transmit gain: The ratio, expressed in decibels, of the power that would have to be supplied to
an isotropic radiator to the power supplied to the antenna being considered, so that they produce the
same field strength at the same distance in the same direction.
carrier-off state: A LMES is in this state when either it is authorized by the Network Control Facility (NCF)
to transmit but when it does not transmit any signal, or when it is not authorized by the NCF to transmit.
carrier-on state: A LMES is in this state when it is authorized by the NCF to transmit and when it
transmits a signal.
Control Channel (CC): A channel or channels by which LMES receive control information from the NCF
for their network.
Externally Mounted Equipment (EME): The EME consists of those of the modules of the IE which are
intended to be mounted externally to the vehicle as stated by the manufacturer.
Installable Equipment (IE): An equipment which is intended to be fitted to a vehicle. An IE may consist of
one or several interconnected modules.
Internally Mounted Equipment (IME): Those of the modules of the IE which are not declared by the
manufacturer as EME are defined as Internally Mounted Equipment (IME).
manufacturer: The legal entity responsible under the terms of the SES Directive [1] for placing the
product on the market in a member state.
nominated bandwidth: The bandwidth of the LMES radio frequency transmission is nominated by the
manufacturer. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to encompass all spectral elements of the
transmission necessary for communication and which have a level greater than the specified unwanted
emissions limits. The nominated bandwidth is wide enough to take account of the transmit carrier
frequency stability. The nominated bandwidth is within the LMSS transmit frequency band within which the
LMES operates.
Portable Equipment (PE): A portable equipment is generally intended to be self-contained, free standing
and portable. A PE would normally consist of a single module, but may consist of several interconnected
modules.
unwanted emissions: Unwanted emissions are those falling outside the nominated bandwidth.

There are no specific EMC requirements under this TBR, however ETS 300 339 [3] contains general EMC
specifications. Once ETS 300 339 [3] becomes a harmonized EMC standard, and until a product specific
harmonized EMC standard is published, compliance to the general harmonized EMC standard will give
presumption of compliance with the EMC Directive (see bibliography). Upon publication of the product
specific harmonized EMC standard, compliance with that standard will give presumption of compliance
with the EMC Directive (see bibliography).
4.4 Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF)
The following minimum set of CMF shall be implemented in LMES in order to minimize the probability that
they originate unwanted transmissions that may give rise to harmful interference to other systems.
Under any fault condition when the LMES transmissions are being suppressed the limits for carrier-off
state shall apply.
4.4.1 Processor monitoring
4.4.1.1 Justification
To ensure that the LMES can suppress transmissions in the event of a processor sub-system failure.
4.4.1.2 Specification
The LMES shall incorporate a processor monitoring function for each of its processors involved in the
manipulation of traffic and in Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF).
The processor monitoring function shall detect any failure of the processor hardware and software.
