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
93/97/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.
Technical specifications relevant to the SES Directive are given in annex F.

1 Scope
This Technical Basis for Regulation (TBR) specifies those technical requirements under Article 4 of
Council Directive 93/97/EEC (SES Directive), supplementing Council Directive 91/263/EEC (TTE
Directive), in respect of satellite earth station equipment that apply to Mobile Earth Station (MES)
equipment with both transmit and receive capabilities for operation in a Satellite - Personal
Communications Network (S-PCN), in the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency bands given in
table 1.
Table 1: Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency bands
MSS frequency bands
MESs transmit 1 980 to 2 010 MHz
MESs receive 2 170 to 2 200 MHz
An S-PCN MES may be a handheld, portable, vehicle-mounted, host connected, semi-fixed or fixed
equipment, or may be an element in a multi-mode terminal; it may consist of a number of modules with
associated connections and user interface, or may be a self contained single unit.
If the MES is an element in a multi-mode terminal, unless otherwise stated in this TBR, its requirements
apply only to the S-PCN MES element of the terminal operating in the MSS frequency bands given in
table 1.
The technical requirements in this TBR are applied under Articles 4.1 and 4.3 of the SES Directive
referencing Article 4(e) of the TTE Directive, concerning effective use of the radio frequency spectrum,
including the effective use of orbital resources and the avoidance of harmful interference between space-
based and terrestrial communications systems and other technical systems. These requirements are in
two major categories:
unwanted emissions limits: to protect other radio services from harmful interference generated by the
MES in normal use;
MES Control and Monitoring Functions (CMF): to protect other radio services from unwanted
transmissions from the MES. The CMF in each MES is capable of answering to commands from the
Network Control Facilities (NCF) for its S-PCN.
NOTE: The requirements for Network Control Facilities (NCF) for S-PCN are contained in
ETS 300 735 (see annex G).
There are no technical requirements in this TBR under:
- Articles 4.1 and 4.4 of the SES Directive, referencing Article 4(c) of the TTE Directive as there are
no EMC requirements specific to the S-PCN MESs, nor under:
- Article 4.1 of the SES Directive, referencing Article 4(d) of the TTE Directive;
- Articles 4.1 and 4.5 of the SES Directive, referencing Article 4(f) of the TTE Directive;
- Articles 4.1 and 4.6 of the SES Directive, referencing Article 4(g) of the TTE Directive;
as, for the purposes of the SES Directive and the TTE Directive, the radio interface between the MES and
the S-PCN network is not regarded as a network termination point of a public telecommunications
network.
An MES may be subject to additional or alternative requirements in other TBRs depending on its
functionality, in particular if it supports a service which is considered a justified case for regulation of
terminal equipment interworking via the public telecommunications network.

3 Definitions and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this TBR, the following definitions apply:
applicant: A party seeking an approval, or to place an S-PCN MES on the European market, i.e. the
manufacturer of the equipment, or his authorized representative, or an equipment supplier to the
European market.
carrier-on state (allocated a channel): An MES is in this state when it is transmitting a signal in a
continuous or non-continuous mode.
carrier-off state (idle mode): An MES is in this state when it is powered-on but not transmitting a signal,
i.e. not in carrier-on state.
conducted measurement: A measurement of emissions from an antenna port of the MES made by
direct wired connection to the port.
Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power (EIRP): The product of transmitter power and maximum
antenna gain, equivalent to an isotropic source radiating uniformly in all directions.
handheld: Indicates a PE MES which is self-contained and is small enough and light enough to be carried
and used during a call with one hand.
host-connected: Indicates an MES for which connection to or integration with host equipment is
necessary to offer functionality.
host equipment: Is any equipment which has a complete user functionality when not connected to the
MES, and to which the MES provides additional functionality, and to which connection is necessary for the
MES to offer functionality.
Installable Equipment (IE), Internally Mounted Equipment (IME) and Externally Mounted Equipment
(EME): An Installable Equipment (IE) is an equipment which is intended to be installed in a vehicle. An IE
may consist of one or several interconnected modules. The IE is composed of modules intended to be
externally mounted as declared by the applicant, and defined as Externally Mounted Equipment (EME)
and the remaining modules(s) as Internally Mounted Equipment (IME).
Laboratory Test Equipment (LTE): A logical grouping that contains the standard test equipment
provided by a test laboratory.
MSS band: A continuous range of frequencies allocated by the ITU to the MSS.

NCF control message: A message, normally originating from a network, to a specified terminal or set of
terminals of the network which indicates to the terminal or set of terminals that it/they should carry out
some specific action or should enter or maintain some specific state. For test purposes NCF control
messages may originate from Special Test Equipment (STE).
nominated bandwidth (B ): The B of the Mobile Earth Station (MES) radio frequency transmission is
n n
wide enough to encompass all spectral elements of the transmission which have a level greater than the
specified levels of unwanted emissions. The B is defined relative to the MES actual carrier frequency f .
n c
B is the width of the frequency interval (f -a, f +b), where a and b, which shall be specified by the
n c c
applicant, may vary with f .
c
The frequency interval (f -a, f +b) shall not encompass more than either:
c c

c c
operational band: The sub-portion of the band 1 980 to 2 010 MHz which has been assigned in the
earth-to-space direction to the MSS network, within which the MES is operating.
Portable Equipment (PE): A Portable Equipment (PE) 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.
radiated measurement: A measurement of an actual radiated field.
Special Test Equipment (STE): An equipment which allows a test laboratory to control the MES so that
the tests required by this TBR can be performed.
test laboratory: A laboratory authorized by an accreditation body, which performs conformance testing in
accordance with the SES and TTE directives.
test load: The test load is a substantially non-reactive, non-radiating power attenuator which is capable of
safely dissipating the power from the transmitter(s).
unwanted emissions: Unwanted emissions are those falling outside the nominated bandwidth in the
carrier-on state and those generated in the carrier-off state.
wide-band system: A wide-band system is one in which the nominal carrier frequency spacing for MESs
in the earth-to-space direction is equal or greater than 300 kHz.
