Fixed Radio Systems - Characteristics and requirements for point-to-point equipment and antennas - Part 3: Equipment operating in frequency bands where both frequency coordinated or uncoordinated deployment might be applied - Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive

The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different frequency planning (see note 1). This would imply that, besides conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment, administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTED [1]).

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Access, Terminals, Transmission and Multiplexing (ATTM), and is now submitted for the Public Enquiry phase of the
ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [i.17] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
Summary of Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are given in annex A.
The present document is part 3 of a multipart deliverable covering Fixed Radio Systems Characteristics and
requirements for point-to-point equipment and antennas. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [8].

Proposed national transposition dates

Introduction
The EN 302 217 series has been produced in order to rationalize a large number of previous ETSI ENs dealing with
equipment and antennas for Point-to-Point (P-P) Fixed Service applications. For more details, see foreword in the
EN 302 217-1 [8].
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [1]. The modular
structure is described in EG 201 399 [i.2] and shown in Figure 1.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different frequency
planning (see note). This would imply that, besides conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment, administrations
may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for detecting a suitable
interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the knowledge of existing links
(e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be evaluated on the basis of
budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be considered related to essential
requirements of art 3.2 R&TTED [1]).
NOTE 1: For example, the frequency bands 58 GHz is proposed to be used by various technologies for
uncoordinated use of the band. Besides the RF-channel selection procedure, specified in clause 4.2 to
avoid unacceptable interference situations, this band, and those above up to ±63 GHz, also benefits from
the high and stable atmospheric attenuation which suppresses efficiently distant interferers (about
10 dB/km to 15 dB/km at sea level, refer to ITU-R Recommendation P.676 [i.13].
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) regarding
article 3.2, which states that "radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
In order to technically cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance to
cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 217-4-2 [9],
offers system types and antennas alternatives, for selection by administrations, operators and manufacturers dependent
on the desired use of the radio spectrum and network/market requirements, those options include:
• channel separation alternatives (as provided by the relevant CEPT Recommendation);
• implemented procedure for free radio channel selection;
• antenna directivity class alternatives (for different network density requirement).
The present document is mainly intended to cover fixed radio equipment without integral antennas. However, it also
applies to fixed radio systems products with integral antennas, for which all the technical requirements included in the
present document and in EN 302 217-4-2 [9] apply. For more background information on the equipment and antenna
parameters here identified as relevant to article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive see EG 201 399 [i.2] and TR 101 506 [i.8].
For the purposes of the present document two equipment Classes are specified depending on the network requirements:
• Class A: Digital equipment which apply the automatic RF-channel selection procedure (see clause 4.2) for
interference avoidance and error performance enhancement.
• Class B: Equipment without automatic RF-channel selection procedure.

4 Technical requirements specifications
Guidance and description of the phenomena relevant to "essential requirements" under article 3.2 is given in
EG 201 399 [i.2]; specific applications and descriptions for DFRS is given in TR 101 506 [i.8].
In the following clauses, limits are required to be met at specific reference points of the system block diagram.
Reference points and the system block diagram are those set out in figure 1 of EN 302 217-1 [8].
In the case of wide radio-frequency bands covering units and multirate/multiformat equipment, these specifications
shall be met at any frequency and at any rate/format. However the tests, required for generating a test report and/or
declaration of conformity, in order to fulfil any conformity assessment procedure with respect to the
R&TTE Directive [1], shall be carried-out in accordance with the principles set out in annex B.
Testing methods and conditions for assessing all requirements are specified in clause 5, where each clause directly
refers to corresponding clause in this clause.

4.1 Environmental profile
The required environmental profile for operation of the equipment shall be declared by the supplier. The equipment
shall comply with all the technical requirements of the present document at all times when operating within the
boundary limits of the required operational environmental profile.
For testing the compliance with technical requirements see also EN 301 126-1 [6] and clause 5 of the present document.
NOTE: With the generic term of environmental profile, it is here intended any variation of the "external"
conditions (e.g. climatic and external primary/secondary power supply sources feeding the equipment to
be assessed) that might affect the system parameter relevant to the "essential requirements" of article 3.2
of the R&TTE Directive [1].
4.2 RF-channel Selection
RF-channel selection procedure is mandatory for Class A equipment only.
4.2.1 RF-channel selection procedure
The purpose of the RF-channel selection procedure is to detect and protect existing transmissions in order to avoid
unacceptable interference situations.
At both transmission sites, radio-relay terminals shall measure during installation, the interference levels of both receive
and transmit channels (see note). Only in the instance when an unoccupied channel is identified and selected as the
transmission channel shall the transmit power be switched on. The interference avoidance requirements for the receiver
to detect occupied channels are specified in clause 4.2.2.
The principle of protecting existing transmission shall be respected also during the antenna alignment procedure.
NOTE: If the national regulatory rules allow to change the frequency of the link during its operation, it may be
considered, in order to decrease the possibility of undetected interference, to apply the RF channel
selection procedure whenever appropriate (e.g. when restoring a link after a failure or by suitable
automatic timed routine in conjunction with frequency agility as in clause 4.2.3).
4.2.2 Interference avoidance requirements
4.2.2.1 Interference avoidance limit
The radio relay terminal shall consider the radio channel occupied when the level of the interference is above the
following limit:
• Pi > C dBm + 10 log (BW/10 MHz).
Where:
• BW is the noise bandwidth of the receiver expressed in MHz.
• Pi is the interference power expressed in dBm measured within the receiver noise bandwidth (BW).
The value C is dependent on frequency band and is given in the relevant annexes UA to UC.
For the rationale of the interference limit formula see informative annex UD.
For test purpose this requirement shall be fulfilled at reference point C within the intended band of transmission:
• with a signal sim

Introduction
The EN 302 217 series has been produced in order to rationalize a large number of previous ETSI ENs dealing with
equipment and antennas for Point-to-Point (P-P) Fixed Service applications. For more details, see Foreword in the
EN 302 217-1 [8].
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [1]. The modular
structure is described in EG 201 399 [i.2] figure 1 shows how the present document fits within that structure.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different frequency
planning (see note 1). This would imply that, besides conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment,
administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for
detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the
knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be
evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be
considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTED [1]).
NOTE 1: For example, the frequency bands 58 GHz is proposed to be used by various technologies for
uncoordinated use of the band. Besides the RF-channel selection procedure, specified in clause 4.2 to
avoid unacceptable interference situations, this band, and those above up to ~63 GHz, also benefits from
the high and stable atmospheric attenuation which suppresses efficiently distant interferers (about
10 dB/km to 15 dB/km at sea level), refer to ITU-R Recommendation P.676 [i.13].
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) regarding
article 3.2, which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated
to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
In order to technically cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance to
cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 217-4-2 [9],
offers system types and antennas alternatives, for selection by administrations, operators and manufacturers dependent
on the desired use of the radio spectrum and network/market requirements, those options include:
• channel separation alternatives (as provided by the relevant CEPT Recommendation);
• implemented procedure for free radio channel selection;
• antenna directivity class alternatives (for different network density requirement).
The present document is mainly intended to cover fixed radio equipment without integral antennas. However, it also
applies to fixed radio systems products with integral antennas, for which all the technical requirements included in the
present document and in EN 302 217-4-2 [9] apply. For more background information on the equipment and antenna
parameters here identified as relevant to article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1] see EG 201 399 [i.2] and TR 101 506 [i.8].
For the purposes of the present document two equipment Classes are specified depending on the network requirements:
• Class A: Digital equipment which apply the automatic RF-channel selection procedure (see clause 4.2) for
interference avoidance and error performance enhancement.
• Class B: Equipment without automatic RF-channel selection procedure.

Introduction
The EN 302 217 series has been produced in order to rationalize a large number of previous ETSI ENs dealing with
equipment and antennas for Point-to-Point (P-P) Fixed Service applications. For more details, see Foreword in the
EN 302 217-1 [8].
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [1]. The modular
structure is described in EG 201 399 [i.2] figure 1 shows how the present document fits within that structure.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different frequency
planning (see note 1). This would imply that, besides conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment,
administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for
detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the
knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be
evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be
considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTED [1]).
NOTE 1: For example, the frequency bands 58 GHz is proposed to be used by various technologies for
uncoordinated use of the band. Besides the RF-channel selection procedure, specified in clause 4.2 to
avoid unacceptable interference situations, this band, and those above up to ~63 GHz, also benefits from
the high and stable atmospheric attenuation which suppresses efficiently distant interferers (about
10 dB/km to 15 dB/km at sea level), refer to ITU-R Recommendation P.676 [i.13].
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) regarding
article 3.2, which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated
to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
In order to technically cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance to
cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 217-4-2 [9],
offers system types and antennas alternatives, for selection by administrations, operators and manufacturers dependent
on the desired use of the radio spectrum and network/market requirements, those options include:
• channel separation alternatives (as provided by the relevant CEPT Recommendation);
• implemented procedure for free radio channel selection;
• antenna directivity class alternatives (for different network density requirement).
The present document is mainly intended to cover fixed radio equipment without integral antennas. However, it also
applies to fixed radio systems products with integral antennas, for which all the technical requirements included in the
present document and in EN 302 217-4-2 [9] apply. For more background information on the equipment and antenna
parameters here identified as relevant to article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1] see EG 201 399 [i.2] and TR 101 506 [i.8].
For the purposes of the present document two equipment Classes are specified depending on the network requirements:
• Class A: Digital equipment which apply the automatic RF-channel selection procedure (see clause 4.2) for
interference avoidance and error performance enhancement.
• Class B: Equipment without automatic RF-channel selection procedure.

Introduction
The EN 302 217 series has been produced in order to rationalize a large number of previous ETSI ENs dealing with
equipment and antennas for Point-to-Point (P-P) Fixed Service applications. For more details, see Foreword in the
EN 302 217-1 [8].
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [1]. The modular
structure is described in EG 201 399 [i.2] figure 1 shows how the present document fits within that structure.

1 Scope
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in higher frequency bands, which propagation characteristics might be suitable for different frequency
planning (see note 1). This would imply that, besides conventional link-by-link coordinated deployment,
administrations may apply either no co-ordination at all (i.e. the band usage is free and the user is responsible for
detecting a suitable interference-free operating frequency) or simplified co-ordination procedures based on the
knowledge of existing links (e.g. through a public national data base) so that the impact of a possible new link could be
evaluated on the basis of budgetary considerations of typical equipment receiver performances (which will not be
considered related to essential requirements of article 3.2 of R&TTED [1]).
NOTE 1: For example, the frequency bands 58 GHz is proposed to be used by various technologies for
uncoordinated use of the band. Besides the RF-channel selection procedure, specified in clause 4.2 to
avoid unacceptable interference situations, this band, and those above up to ~63 GHz, also benefits from
the high and stable atmospheric attenuation which suppresses efficiently distant interferers (about
10 dB/km to 15 dB/km at sea level), refer to ITU-R Recommendation P.676 [i.13].
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) regarding
article 3.2, which states that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated
to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org/.
In order to technically cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance to
cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 217-4-2 [9],
offers system types and antennas alternatives, for selection by administrations, operators and manufacturers dependent
on the desired use of the radio spectrum and network/market requirements, those options include:
• channel separation alternatives (as provided by the relevant CEPT Recommendation);
• implemented procedure for free radio channel selection;
• antenna directivity class alternatives (for different network density requirement).
The present document is mainly intended to cover fixed radio equipment without integral antennas. However, it also
applies to fixed radio systems products with integral antennas, for which all the technical requirements included in the
present document and in EN 302 217-4-2 [9] apply. For more background information on the equipment and antenna
parameters here identified as relevant to article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1] see EG 201 399 [i.2] and TR 101 506 [i.8].
For the purposes of the present document two equipment Classes are specified depending on the network requirements:
• Class A: Digital equipment which apply the automatic RF-channel selection procedure (see clause 4.2) for
interference avoidance and error performance enhancement.
• Class B: Equipment without automatic RF-channel selection procedure.
