EVS-EN 301 430 V2.1.1:2016

The present document applies to Satellite News Gathering (SNG) Transportable Earth Stations (TESs) which have the
following characteristics:
• the SNG TESs are designed for Satellite News Gathering (SNG) which can be either an unforeseen or preplanned
activity;
• SNG TES is capable of transmitting television signals and associated audio or programme audio only towards
a satellite positioned on the geostationary orbit. The modulation method may be either analogue or digital.
Such transmissions are point-to-point or point-to-multipoint but not for general broadcast reception;
• the SNG TESs are designed for relocation at any time to a different fixed operating location but are not
intended to operate during the relocation period. The SNG TESs can be either vehicle mounted or packed for
transportation. The SNG TESs considered in the present document are those designed to operate whilst
stationary;
• the SNG TESs are operating in the following bands allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS):
- 10,70 GHz to 11,70 GHz (space-to-earth, shared);
- 12,50 GHz to 12,75 GHz (space-to-earth, exclusive);
- 12,75 GHz to 13,25 GHz (earth-to-space, shared);
- 13,75 GHz to 14,25 GHz (earth-to-space, exclusive);
- 14,25 GHz to 14,50 GHz (earth-to-space, shared).
• frequencies could be selected from through the entire frequency range or be restricted to a range completely
enclosed within those bands. These bands are partly shared between FSS and Fixed Service (FS);
• at present the ITU Radio Regulations [3] restrict the use of the 13,75 GHz to 14,00 GHz band to earth stations
having an antenna diameter of 4,5 m or greater and having a transmitting EIRP between 68 dBW and 85 dBW;
• the SNG TESs use linear polarization;
• the SNG TESs operate through a geostationary satellite at least 3° away from any other geostationary satellite
operating in the same frequency band and covering the same area;
• the SNG TES antenna diameter does not exceed 5 m, or equivalent corresponding aperture;
• the SNG TESs are designed for attended operation.
The present document applies to the SNG TES 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 2014/53/EU [6] (RE Directive) article 3.2, which
states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio
spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference."
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 2014/53/EU [6]) may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the ETSI web site.
