History

Gives the test methods for both transmit/receive and receive only Very Small Aperture Terminals (VSAT) used for digital communications within the 11/12/14 GHz frequency bands of the Fixed Satellite Service (FSS) utilising satellites spaced three degrees (3 degree) apart. These VSATs are defined and their basic characteristics are specified in the referenced ETSs, ETS 300 159 [1] and ETS 300 157 [2]. This ETS specifies the test methods for demonstration of compliance with the specifications of the reference ETS, and also with those for which the reference ETS allows verification at the manufacturer's discretion.
