Major variants with respect to previous published version
This new version of EN 302 217-2-2 has considered, among other minor points:
• Unified frequency tolerance.
• Unified output power tolerance.
• More flexible specification for spectral lines exceeding the spectral density mask.
• New spectral efficiency classes 7 (1 024 states) and 8 (2 048 states) have been introduced for channel
separations 13,75/14 MHz and above.
ETSI
8 Final draft ETSI EN 302 217-2-2 V2.1.0 (2013-04)
• Extension of the spectral efficiency classes subdivision to formally cover the whole granularity of the range
spectral efficiency indexes provided for each band and channel separation. Indexes from 1 (2 states, spectral
efficiency class 1) to 11 (2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 8) and to newly introduced 10 and 11 (1 024
and 2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 7 and 8) are introduced, as appropriate, for filling the gaps between
the minimum and maximum indexes foreseen.
• Unified spectrum masks for classes 5, 6, 7 and 8 also for 40 MHz and for 110 MHz/112 MHz channels.
• Use, as system identification method, of the "minimum radio interface capacity (RIC)", more appropriate for
new Ethernet oriented systems, in place of the previous PDH/SDH oriented one.
• Removal of the other system identification parameter based on A.1, …., B.1,…., C.1,…., E.1, ……
notations. Unique system identification is based on operating frequency band, operating radio frequency
channel separation and spectral efficiency class to which a minimum RIC is associated.
• Tighter BER Receiver Signal Level (RSL) thresholds for a large number of systems; this is justified by
recognizing, in previous V1.4.1 of the present document, the very large margins against the required values
with respect to current equipment technology on the market and by the need for improving the link density in
frequency coordinated networks.
• Significant revision of the informative annex I for guidance in the use and deployment of ATPC and "mixed-
mode" (adaptive modulation systems).
• Clarification and distinction between "multi-carrier" and "multi-channel" systems concepts and related
requirements.
• New frequency bands from 71 GHz to 76 GHz and 81 GHz to 86 GHz (additional requirements to the general
ones in EN 302 217-3 [7] for equipment intended also for conventional link-by-link coordination).
In general, apart from the tightened RSL BER thresholds (see note 1), the requirements for equipment types already
covered by previous versions of the present document are carried over unchanged (see notes 2 and 3); therefore, it is
considered that equipment already conforming to those previous versions would not need a new test report for re-
assessment of the essential requirements according to the present document. However, the legal aspects related to the
Declaration of Conformity according the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are not in the scope of the present document.
NOTE 1: The tightened RSL BER thresholds are still considered to offer a good margin to equipment on the market
and also to equipment that is already in operation since several years before the date of publication of the
present document.
NOTE 2: Even if considered not impacting modern synthesizer technology, few cases of more stringent frequency
tolerance resulted from the unification of the requirement.
NOTE 3: The "minimum RIC" limits have been enhanced from previous V1.4.1 of the present document; however,
they are considered well within the present technology capability. It should be noted that the original
values, standardized in annex F of previous V1.1.3 of the present document (formally applicable up to
May 2009), were already significantly higher than those reported in subsequent versions of the present
document. Those "more relaxed" ones, used up to V1.4.1 of the present document as "provisional stop-
gap" for early introduction of Ethernet systems among PDH/SDH oriented characteristics, will cease to be
applicable after the decaying date from the OJEU of the said V1.4.1.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that older spectral power density masks, some of which have been maintained as
equivalent alternative option in the annexes A through E, are supposed, in medium term maintenance process, to be
discontinued. Newly assessed equipment is supposed to use the "unified masks" in clause 4.2.4.2.1.

9 Final draft ETSI EN 302 217-2-2 V2.1.0 (2013-04)
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 [6].
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.24].

1 Scope
1.1 General background
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in frequency division full duplex (FDD) in frequency bands, where co-ordinated link-by-link frequency
planning is applied. It is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive [1] 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: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
For the correct understanding and application of the requirements in the present document, the definitions summarized
in EN 302 217-1 [6] are also relevant.
1.2 Spectral efficiency classes
As the maximum transmission rate in a given bandwidth depends on system spectral efficiency, different equipment
classes are here defined. They are based on typical modulation formats and limited by a "minimum Radio Interface
Capacity density" (Mbit/s/MHz) shown in table 0. Radio Interface Capacity (RIC) is defined in EN 302 217-1 [6].
The minimum RIC density figures in table 0 are valid only for systems operating on the most common channel
separation (CS) equal or higher than 1,75 MHz and taking into account that for channel separations "about" 14 MHz
(i.e. from 13,75 MHz to 15,0 MHz), "about" 28 MHz (i.e. from 27,5 MHz to 30 MHz), "about" 56 MHz (i.e. from
55 MHz to 60 MHz) and "about" 112 MHz (i.e. 110 MHz or 112 MHz) the RIC density of actual systems is evaluated
only over the "nominal" 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz and 112 MHz channel width.
Minimum RIC figures for some systems operating on 40 MHz channel separation, with RIC density lower than the
minimum requirement in table 0, are defined only in annexes C and Ea. For the special cases of sub-STM-0 capacities
(defined in Recommendation ITU-T G.708 [i.63] in annex D, alternative minimum RIC figures are not defined.

modulation scheme (e.g. 2048QAM)
NOTE: When defining the minimum RIC for actual channel separations, for simplicity, it will be rounded to the
suitably closer integer Mbit/s.

All classes up to class 4H, for any CS, and classes 5L, 5H, 6L, 6H, 7 and 8, for CS < 27,5 MHz, are intended suitable
for ACCP operation and, in principle, whenever appropriate, also expandable to CCDP. Classes 5L, 5H, 6L, 6H, 7 and
8, only for CS ≥ 27,5 MHz, are further subdivided in two sub-classes:
• subClass A: classes 5LA, 5HA, 6LA, 6HA, 7A and 8A are intended suitable, on the same route, for cross-polar
adjacent channel (ACAP) operation only (see figure 2a).
• subClass B: classes 5LB, 5HB, 6LB, 6HB, 7B and 8B are suitable, on the same route, for ACCP operation and,
in principle, whenever appropriate, also expandable to CCDP (see figure 2a).
The above classes are for system identification only and will not imply any constraint to the actual modulation format,
provided that all the requirements of th

Major variants with respect to previous published version
This new version of EN 302 217-2-2 has considered, among other minor points:
• Unified frequency tolerance.
• Unified output power tolerance.
• More flexible specification for spectral lines exceeding the spectral density mask.
• New spectral efficiency classes 7 (1 024 states) and 8 (2 048 states) have been introduced for channel
separations 13,75/14 MHz and above.
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 302 217-2-2 V2.1.1 (2013-07)
• Extension of the spectral efficiency classes subdivision to formally cover the whole granularity of the range
spectral efficiency indexes provided for each band and channel separation. Indexes from 1 (2 states, spectral
efficiency class 1) to 11 (2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 8) and to newly introduced 10 and 11 (1 024
and 2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 7 and 8) are introduced, as appropriate, for filling the gaps between
the minimum and maximum indexes foreseen.
• Unified spectrum masks for classes 5, 6, 7 and 8 also for 40 MHz and for 110 MHz/112 MHz channels.
• Use, as system identification method, of the "minimum radio interface capacity (RIC)", more appropriate for
new Ethernet oriented systems, in place of the previous PDH/SDH oriented one.
• Removal of the other system identification parameter based on A.1, …., B.1,…., C.1,…., E.1, ……
notations. Unique system identification is based on operating frequency band, operating radio frequency
channel separation and spectral efficiency class to which a minimum RIC is associated.
• Tighter BER Receiver Signal Level (RSL) thresholds for a large number of systems; this is justified by
recognizing, in previous V1.4.1 of the present document, the very large margins against the required values
with respect to current equipment technology on the market and by the need for improving the link density in
frequency coordinated networks.
• Significant revision of the informative annex I for guidance in the use and deployment of ATPC and "mixed-
mode" (adaptive modulation systems).
• Clarification and distinction between "multi-carrier" and "multi-channel" systems concepts and related
requirements.
• New frequency bands from 71 GHz to 76 GHz and 81 GHz to 86 GHz (additional requirements to the general
ones in EN 302 217-3 [7] for equipment intended also for conventional link-by-link coordination).
In general, apart from the tightened RSL BER thresholds (see note 1), the requirements for equipment types already
covered by previous versions of the present document are carried over unchanged (see notes 2 and 3); therefore, it is
considered that equipment already conforming to those previous versions would not need a new test report for re-
assessment of the essential requirements according to the present document. However, the legal aspects related to the
Declaration of Conformity according the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are not in the scope of the present document.
NOTE 1: The tightened RSL BER thresholds are still considered to offer a good margin to equipment on the market
and also to equipment that is already in operation since several years before the date of publication of the
present document.
NOTE 2: Even if considered not impacting modern synthesizer technology, few cases of more stringent frequency
tolerance resulted from the unification of the requirement.
NOTE 3: The "minimum RIC" limits have been enhanced from previous V1.4.1 of the present document; however,
they are considered well within the present technology capability. It should be noted that the original
values, standardized in annex F of previous V1.1.3 of the present document (formally applicable up to
May 2009), were already significantly higher than those reported in subsequent versions of the present
document. Those "more relaxed" ones, used up to V1.4.1 of the present document as "provisional stop-
gap" for early introduction of Ethernet systems among PDH/SDH oriented characteristics, will cease to be
applicable after the decaying date from the OJEU of the said V1.4.1.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that older spectral power density masks, some of which have been maintained as
equivalent alternative option in the annexes A through E, are supposed, in medium term maintenance process, to be
discontinued. Newly assessed equipment is supposed to use the "unified masks" in clause 4.2.4.2.1.

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 [6].
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.24].

1 Scope
1.1 General background
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in frequency division full duplex (FDD) in frequency bands, where co-ordinated link-by-link frequency
planning is applied. It is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive [1] 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: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
For the correct understanding and application of the requirements in the present document, the definitions summarized
in EN 302 217-1 [6] are also relevant.
1.2 Spectral efficiency classes
As the maximum transmission rate in a given bandwidth depends on system spectral efficiency, different equipment
classes are here defined. They are based on typical modulation formats and limited by a "minimum Radio Interface
Capacity density" (Mbit/s/MHz) shown in table 0. Radio Interface Capacity (RIC) is defined in EN 302 217-1 [6].
The minimum RIC density figures in table 0 are valid only for systems operating on the most common channel
separation (CS) equal or higher than 1,75 MHz and taking into account that for channel separations "about" 14 MHz
(i.e. from 13,75 MHz to 15,0 MHz), "about" 28 MHz (i.e. from 27,5 MHz to 30 MHz), "about" 56 MHz (i.e. from
55 MHz to 60 MHz) and "about" 112 MHz (i.e. 110 MHz or 112 MHz) the RIC density of actual systems is evaluated
only over the "nominal" 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz and 112 MHz channel width.
Minimum RIC figures for some systems operating on 40 MHz channel separation, with RIC density lower than the
minimum requirement in table 0, are defined only in annexes C and Ea. For the special cases of sub-STM-0 capacities
(defined in Recommendation ITU-T G.708 [i.63] in annex D, alternative minimum RIC figures are not defined.

11 8 7,7 equipment with spectral efficiency based on typical 2048-states
modulation scheme (e.g. 2048QAM)
NOTE: When defining the minimum RIC for actual channel separations, for simplicity, it will be rounded to the
suitably closer integer Mbit/s.

All classes up to class 4H, for any CS, and classes 5L, 5H, 6L, 6H, 7 and 8, for CS < 27,5 MHz, are intended suitable
for ACCP operation and, in principle, whenever appropriate, also expandable to CCDP. Classes 5L, 5H, 6L, 6H, 7 and
8, only for CS ≥ 27,5 MHz, are further subdivided in two sub-classes:
• subClass A: classes 5LA, 5HA, 6LA, 6HA, 7A and 8A are intended suitable, on the same route, for cross-polar
adjacent channel (ACAP) operation only (see figure 2a).
• subClass B: classes 5LB, 5HB, 6LB, 6HB, 7B and 8B are suitable, on the same route, for ACCP operation and,
in principle, whenever appropriate, also expandable to CCDP (see figure 2a).
The above classes are for system identification only and will not imply any constraint to the actual modulation format,
provided that all the requirements of the selected class in the relevant parts of EN 302 217 series are met.

Major variants with respect to previous published version
This new version of EN 302 217-2-2 has considered, among other minor points:
• Unified frequency tolerance.
• Unified output power tolerance.
• More flexible specification for spectral lines exceeding the spectral density mask.
• New spectral efficiency classes 7 (1 024 states) and 8 (2 048 states) have been introduced for channel
separations 13,75/14 MHz and above.
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 302 217-2-2 V2.1.1 (2013-07)
• Extension of the spectral efficiency classes subdivision to formally cover the whole granularity of the range
spectral efficiency indexes provided for each band and channel separation. Indexes from 1 (2 states, spectral
efficiency class 1) to 11 (2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 8) and to newly introduced 10 and 11 (1 024
and 2 048 states, spectral efficiency class 7 and 8) are introduced, as appropriate, for filling the gaps between
the minimum and maximum indexes foreseen.
• Unified spectrum masks for classes 5, 6, 7 and 8 also for 40 MHz and for 110 MHz/112 MHz channels.
• Use, as system identification method, of the "minimum radio interface capacity (RIC)", more appropriate for
new Ethernet oriented systems, in place of the previous PDH/SDH oriented one.
• Removal of the other system identification parameter based on A.1, …., B.1,…., C.1,…., E.1, ……
notations. Unique system identification is based on operating frequency band, operating radio frequency
channel separation and spectral efficiency class to which a minimum RIC is associated.
• Tighter BER Receiver Signal Level (RSL) thresholds for a large number of systems; this is justified by
recognizing, in previous V1.4.1 of the present document, the very large margins against the required values
with respect to current equipment technology on the market and by the need for improving the link density in
frequency coordinated networks.
• Significant revision of the informative annex I for guidance in the use and deployment of ATPC and "mixed-
mode" (adaptive modulation systems).
• Clarification and distinction between "multi-carrier" and "multi-channel" systems concepts and related
requirements.
• New frequency bands from 71 GHz to 76 GHz and 81 GHz to 86 GHz (additional requirements to the general
ones in EN 302 217-3 [7] for equipment intended also for conventional link-by-link coordination).
In general, apart from the tightened RSL BER thresholds (see note 1), the requirements for equipment types already
covered by previous versions of the present document are carried over unchanged (see notes 2 and 3); therefore, it is
considered that equipment already conforming to those previous versions would not need a new test report for re-
assessment of the essential requirements according to the present document. However, the legal aspects related to the
Declaration of Conformity according the Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are not in the scope of the present document.
NOTE 1: The tightened RSL BER thresholds are still considered to offer a good margin to equipment on the market
and also to equipment that is already in operation since several years before the date of publication of the
present document.
NOTE 2: Even if considered not impacting modern synthesizer technology, few cases of more stringent frequency
tolerance resulted from the unification of the requirement.
NOTE 3: The "minimum RIC" limits have been enhanced from previous V1.4.1 of the present document; however,
they are considered well within the present technology capability. It should be noted that the original
values, standardized in annex F of previous V1.1.3 of the present document (formally applicable up to
May 2009), were already significantly higher than those reported in subsequent versions of the present
document. Those "more relaxed" ones, used up to V1.4.1 of the present document as "provisional stop-
gap" for early introduction of Ethernet systems among PDH/SDH oriented characteristics, will cease to be
applicable after the decaying date from the OJEU of the said V1.4.1.
Attention is also drawn to the fact that older spectral power density masks, some of which have been maintained as
equivalent alternative option in the annexes A through E, are supposed, in medium term maintenance process, to be
discontinued. Newly assessed equipment is supposed to use the "unified masks" in clause 4.2.4.2.1.

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 [6].
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.24].

1 Scope
1.1 General background
The present document specifies the essential requirements for point-to-point Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS)
operating in frequency division full duplex (FDD) in frequency bands, where co-ordinated link-by-link frequency
planning is applied. It is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive [1] 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: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
For the correct understanding and application of the requirements in the present document, the definitions summarized
in EN 302 217-1 [6] are also relevant.
1.2 Spectral efficiency classes
As the maximum transmission rate in a given bandwidth depends on system spectral efficiency, different equipment
classes are here defined. They are based on typical modulation formats and limited by a "minimum Radio Interface
Capacity density" (Mbit/s/MHz) shown in table 0. Radio Interface Capacity (RIC) is defined in EN 302 217-1 [6].
The minimum RIC density figures in table 0 are valid only for systems operating on the most common channel
separation (CS) equal or higher than 1,75 MHz and taking into account that for channel separations "about" 14 MHz
(i.e. from 13,75 MHz to 15,0 MHz), "about" 28 MHz (i.e. from 27,5 MHz to 30 MHz), "about" 56 MHz (i.e. from
55 MHz to 60 MHz) and "about" 112 MHz (i.e. 110 MHz or 112 MHz) the RIC density of actual systems is evaluated
only over the "nominal" 14 MHz, 28 MHz, 56 MHz and 112 MHz channel width.
Minimum RIC figures for some systems operating on 40 MHz channel separation, with RIC density lower than the
minimum requirement in table 0, are defined only in annexes C and Ea. For the special cases of sub-STM-0 capacities
(defined in Recommendation ITU-T G.708 [i.63] in annex D, alternative minimum RIC figures are not defined.
