scope:

The present document applies to User Equipment (UE) radio equipment type which have the following characteristics: - these UEs have both transmit and receive capabilities and operate in a Geostationary satellite network; - these UEs operate with an assigned channel signal bandwidth (CBw) smaller than 1 MHz; - these UEs may be handset, 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 UE is an element in a multi-mode terminal, unless otherwise stated in the present document, its requirements apply only to the UE element of the terminal operating in the Mobile Satellite Service (MSS) frequency bands given in table 1. This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1. Table 1: Mobile Satellite Service UE frequency bands Operating band Direction of transmission UE frequency bands I UE Transmit (earth-to-space) 1 980 MHz to 2 010 MHz UE Receive (space-to-earth) 2 170 MHz to 2 200 MHz
