Foreword
This Technical Report (TR) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio
spectrum Matters (ERM).
Introduction
Many ETSI deliverables address radio parameters. In order to make these documents easy to read and practical for the
user, the authors usually include the definitions of those parameters in the text corresponding to the appropriate clauses.
Sometimes these definitions are not exact copies from the ETSI Terms and Definitionsdatabase "TEDDI" but are
(slightly) adapted versions.
As a result many radio parameters have several different definitions being used within ETSI. The aim of the present
deliverable is to trace all those definitions, which are not included in "clause 3".
Then it may be possible to harmonize them (work to be done at a later stage).
Because there are many ETSI deliverables it is a lot of work to find all the definitions by hand. Therefore, a computer
program that searches for definitions in ETSI-documents has been written. The goal of this program (or set of
programs) is to assist tracing the definitions found outside of clause 3.
In the present document the results of searches by hand (clause 5 and annex A) and automatic searches (see annex B)
co-exist to make verifications more easy.
Practical experience has shown that some of the outputs provided by a computer program need some further editing by
hand.

1 Scope
The present document is intended to provide an overview of the various definitions of radio parameters that can be
found in ETSI deliverables.
The present document addresses definitions found in ENs and TSs of TC-ERM, gathered in June 2012.
As some consolidation work in the area of Radio Definitions had already been done in the early days of ETSI,
definitions in ETR 027 [i.78] (edition 1) and TR 100 027 [i.79] (V1.2.1) have also been searched "by program".
2 References
References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or
non-specific. For specific references, only the cited version applies. For non-specific references, the latest version of the
reference document (including any amendments) applies.
Referenced documents which are not found to be publicly available in the expected location might be found at
http://docbox.etsi.org/Reference.
NOTE: While any hyperlinks included in this clause were valid at the time of publication, ETSI cannot guarantee
their long term validity.
2.1 Normative references
The following referenced documents are necessary for the application of the present document.
Not applicable.
2.2 Informative references
The following referenced documents are not necessary for the application of the present document but they assist the
user with regard to a particular subject area.
NOTE: To be noted that, for practical reasons, the list below does not include the references to the ENs and TSs
that were searched by program. However, as some of the ENs have been analysed both by hand and by
program, some of the references to ENs, below, are also relevant to the searches done by program.
