Fixed Radio Systems; Characteristics and requirements for point-to-point equipment and antennas; Part 1: Overview and system-independent common characteristics

Scope

The present document applies to the following digital fixed radio systems (DFRS), including equipment with integral
antenna, and antenna types:
• point-to-point systems intended for operation in frequency bands that require co-ordination;
• point-to-point systems intended for operation in frequency bands that do not require co-ordination;
• antennas for point-to-point operation.
The present document summarizes all characteristics, principles and definitions that are common to all P-P equipment
and antennas, EN 302 217-2-1 [i.33] and EN 302 217-4-1 [i.36] summarize the other system dependent characteristics
and include limits for "non-essential" requirements, EN 302 217-2-2 [i.34], EN 302 217-3 [i.35] and
EN 302 217-4-2 [i.37] contain the whole description and limits of "essential" requirements under article 3.2 of the
R&TTE Directive [1].
Health and safety requirements, relevant to article 3.1a of the R&TTE Directive [1] are not considered in any part of
this EN 302 217 series. CENELEC is responsible for the relevant standards.
EMC conditions and requirements, relevant to article 3.1b of the R&TTE Directive [1] and any other essential
requirement relevant to article 3.3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] are not in the scope of any part of this EN 302 217
series. They may be found in EN 301 489-1 [i.26] and EN 301 489-4 [i.27].
NOTE: A list of such ENs is available on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
For administration's guidance when notifying their regulated interfaces in accordance with article 4.1 of the
R&TTE Directive [1], annex B provides explanatory considerations on the applicability of the TCAM-RIG format for
P-P fixed links. An example of such a notification is also provided. Annex B has been elaborated in co-ordination with
the CEPT ECC WG SE.
