ANNEX TO THE THIRTY-FOURTH SCHEDULE
(Paragraph 4 of the Thirty-Fourth Schedule)
Minimum Technical Parameters for Land and Maritime Earth Stations
on Mobile Platforms operating with Non-Geostationary Satellite
Networks
A. Technical and operational requirements for ESOMPs
operating within the frequency bands 17.3-20.2 GHz and 27.5-
29.1 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz
ESOMPs operating within the frequency bands 17.3-20.2 GHz
and 27.5-29.1 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz shall comply with the
following technical and operational requirements
1. The protection of geostationary FSS networks operating in
27.5-28.6 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz from ESOMPs operating in non-
geostationary systems shall be achieved by complying with the epfd
limits stipulated in No. 22.5D of the Radio Regulations. The
protection of FSS geostationary networks and FSS non-geostationary
systems operating in 28.6-29.1 GHz shall be on the basis of relevant
coordination agreements reached between administrations and
operators in accordance with No. 9.11A of the Radio Regulations.
2. The design, coordination and operation of ESOMPs shall
take into account the following factors to the extent that they ensure
compliance with the conditions specified in no. 1 above
(a)
antenna mis-pointing;
(b) variations in the antenna pattern;
(c)
variations in the transmit e.i.r.p
3. ESOMPs that use closed-loop tracking of the satellite
signal shall employ an algorithm that is resistant to capturing and
tracking signals from nearby satellite. ESOMPs shall immediately
inhibit transmissions when they detect that unintended satellite
tracking has happened or is about to happen.
4. ESOMPs shall be self-monitoring and should a fault which
can cause harmful interference to FSS or terrestrial networks be
detected, the ESOMPs must automatically cease its transmissions.
5. ESOMPs shall be in conformance with the Harmonised
European Standard EN 303 979, "Satellite Earth Stations and Systems
(SES); Harmonised European standard for Earth Stations on Mobile
Platforms (ESOMPs) transmitting towards satellites in non-
geostationary orbit in the 27.5-29.1 GHz and 29.5-30.0 GHz
frequency bands covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU".
B. Additional technical and operational requirements for
ESOMPs operating within the frequency bands 17.3-19.7 GHz
and 27.5-29.1 GHz
ESOMPs operating within the frequency bands 17.3-19.7 GHz
and 27.5-29.1 GHz must comply (in addition to A above) with the
following technical and operational requirements
1. In the territory of any country, the off-axis * e.i.r.p. spectral
density radiated by any ESOMP into the fixed service bands (i.e.
27.8285-28.4445 GHz, 28.8365-28.9485 GHz (where applicable) and
28.9485-29.1 GHz) shall be limited to -35 dBW/MHz. This limit
shall, in any case, be met by ESOMPs on land, on territorial sea or on
internal waters, at a direction of 3 degrees or less above the local
horizontal plane at the ESOMPs terminal.
2. In the territory of any country, ESOMPs shall not have
their transmit occupied band edges closer than 10 MHz from the
edges of the bands identified by that country for the fixed service
operation.
3. The antenna elevation angle shall be higher than 3 degrees.
4. In the band 28.8365-28.9485 GHz, the pfd threshold
values in paragraph 6 shall apply to the territory of any country which
authorises systems in the fixed service in this band and shall not be
exceeded, unless prior agreement has been given by the concerned
country(ies) to exceed these values.
5. In the bands 27.8285-28.4445 GHz and 28.9485-29.1 GHz,
the pfd threshold values given in paragraph 6 shall apply to the
territory of all CEPT countries and shall not be exceeded, unless prior
agreement has been given by the concerned country(ies) to exceed
these values.
6. For ESOMPs installed on vessels, the pfd threshold value
is -109 dB(W/m 2 ) in a reference bandwidth of 14 MHz at a height of
20 metres above mean sea level at the low-water mark of the territory
of the countries defined in paragraphs 4 and 5 above ** .
* Off-axis refers to angles greater than 7° from the axis of the main beam or to
angles greater than the declared minimum elevation angle of the ESOMPs,
whichever is lower.
7. For ensuring compliance with the above pfd provisions
ESOMPs shall have self-monitoring functions and automatic
mechanisms (locally, or under the control of the NCF) to reduce its
e.i.r.p. or cease transmissions.
8. National limitations applicable to uncoordinated FSS earth
stations to avoid cross-border interference to fixed or mobile services
in the same band in an adjacent country shall apply to land based
ESOMPs and ESOMPs operating on territorial sea and on inland
waterways in the same country as the uncoordinated FSS earth
stations.
C. Protection of Aircraft from ESOMPs operating on the
Earth’s surface in the vicinity of an airfield
1. The coordination zone comprises the area within the
airfield boundary fence in addition to an area outside the boundary
fence. The coordination area is dependent on the e.i.r.p. and orbital
characteristics of the non-geostationary orbit system.
2. Table 1 lists the coordination areas to be used for the
protection of aircrafts in the vicinity of airfields from ESOMPs for
which the coordination areas have not been determined using the
methodology given in ECC Report 066.
