Fixed Radio Systems; Point to Multipoint Antennas; Antennas for point-to-multipoint fixed radio systems in the 11 GHz to 60 GHz band; Part 1: General aspects

Scope

The present document specifies the essential electrical requirements for linear polarization, fixed beam antennas to be utilized with new multipoint (P-MP and MP-MP) Multimedia Wireless Systems (MWS) [1], including central station, repeater and terminal station applications, operating in frequency bands from 11 GHz to 60 GHz. These systems use various multiple access schemes. Antennas may be pointed by manual or electromechanical means or by switching between different fixed antennas. Electronically steerable antennas, and circularly polarized antennas are not considered in the present document.
