The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Point-to-point (P-P) Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in frequency bands allocated to Fixed Service (FS) from 1 GHz to 174,8 GHz, corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands from 1,4 GHz to 174,8 GHz as described in relevant annexes B through L. Systems in the scope of the present document are generally intended to operate in full Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) and cover also unidirectional links applications. Time Division Duplex (TDD) applications, when possibly applicable in a specific band, are explicitly mentioned as appropriate in the relevant annexes B through L. Other possible prescriptions, limitations and requirements, for operation in specific bands are also explicitly mentioned, as appropriate, in the relevant annexes B through L. Systems in the scope of the present document are intended to operate only in combination with directive fixed gain antennas respecting the technical requirements in ETSI EN 302 217-4 [6]. Systems in the scope of the present document may be composed by equipment without antennas (see informative annex Q for background) or equipment including integral (but physically detachable) or dedicated antenna. Systems including integral antennas physically undetachable from the radio equipment are not in the scope of the present document (see note 1).
NOTE 1: For additional information, the rationale is that the present document as well as ETSI EN 301 126-1 [1] (radio equipment parameters testing) do not provide radiated test methods and ETSI EN 301 126-3-1 [2] (antenna parameters testing) does not provide test methods for undetachable antennas; future revisions could fill this vacancy.
NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

The present document defines the characteristics and requirements of antennas for point-to-point radio equipment operating in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 174,8 GHz falling within the scope (see note) of ETSI EN 302 217-2 [i.2].
For technical commonalities that range is here divided into sub-ranges as follows:
Range 0: 1 GHz to 3 GHz;
Range 1: 3 GHz to 14 GHz;
Range 2: 14 GHz to 20 GHz;
Range 3: 20 GHz to 24 GHz;
Range 4: 24 GHz to 30 GHz;
Range 5: 30 GHz to 47 GHz;
Range 6: 47 GHz to 71 GHz;
Range 7: 71 GHz to 86 GHz;
Range 8: 92 GHz to 114,25 GHz;
Range 9: 130 GHz to 174,8 GHz.
The present document is applicable to fixed radio equipment with integral (see note) or dedicated antennas.
NOTE: For information, ETSI EN 302 217-2 [i.2] includes in its scope only the use of detachable integral antennas; undetachable integral antennas are not considered due to the present lack of radiated test procedures for the radio equipment parameters.
The present document also applies to stand-alone antennas, placed separately on the market. In this case the present document is to be used by radio equipment manufacturers to provide guidance as to the information for the user, as required by article 10 paragraph 8 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1], regarding the antenna characteristics required so as the radio equipment, supplied without antenna, can operate as intended in its technical documentation. The present document is applicable to fixed beam antennas, as well as to "self-alignment tracking" antenna, with limited tracking range, so that all requirements in the present document are respected throughout the tracking angle indicated in the technical documentation. The main body of the present document specifies the characteristics that define the various antenna classes, whilst the annexes provide additional information that is useful to both antenna manufacturers and user/installers.

IEC 62037-3:2025 defines the impact test on coaxial connectors to evaluate their robustness against weak connections and particles inside the connector, as independently as possible from the effects of cable passive intermodulation (PIM). For other connectors (e.g. panel mounted connectors), the cable can be replaced by an adequate transmission line (e.g. airline, stripline). In order to evaluate the effects of mechanical stresses on the connectors, a series of impacts is applied to the connectors while measuring the PIM.
