Fixed Radio Systems - Characteristics and requirements for point-to-point equipment and antennas - Part 1: Overview, common characteristics and system-independent requirements

The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [18], annex B to annex J.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI EN 302 217
series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [18].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Technical background for most of the parameters and requirements referred to in this multi-part deliverable may be
found in ETSI TR 101 036-1 [i.16].
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217
series.

requirements for point-to-point equipment and antennas, as identified below (see note):
Part 1: "Overview, common characteristics and system-independent requirements";
Part 2: "Digital systems operating in frequency bands from 1 GHz to 86 GHz; Harmonised Standard for access to
radio spectrum";

NOTE: In previous regulatory regime under Directive 1999/5/EC more parts (harmonised and non-harmonised
standards) were published. Since Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] repealed Directive 1999/5/EC the following
parts have been replaced while the content has been moved to other parts of the series.
Those parts are:
Part 2-1: Technical content moved to present document (Part 1);
Part 2-2: Technical content reproduced in Part 2 (*);
(*) Part 2-2- was also published in the OJEU under Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1], presumption of
conformity will cease on 31-12-2018;

1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [18], annex B to annex J.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI EN 302 217
series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [18].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Technical background for most of the parameters and requirements referred to in this multi-part deliverable may be
found in ETSI TR 101 036-1 [i.16].
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217
series.

1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [18], annex B to annex J.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI EN 302 217
series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [18].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Technical background for most of the parameters and requirements referred to in this multi-part deliverable may be
found in ETSI TR 101 036-1 [i.16].
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217
series.

1 Scope
The present document applies to Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) in point-to-point operation with integral and
external antennas in the frequency range of 1 GHz to 86 GHz corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands
1,4 GHz to 86 GHz as described in ETSI EN 302 217-2 [18], annex B to annex J.
The present document summarizes:
• all characteristics, principles and, of utmost importance, terms and definitions that are common to all
P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of ETSI EN 302 217
series;
• all system-dependent requirements for Point-to-Point (P-P) equipment. These requirements are introduced in
two different clauses sub-sets:
- Main requirements are requirements that are also related to the "essential requirements" under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and further detailed in the Harmonised Standard ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [18].
- Complementary requirements are requirements that are not related to essential requirements under
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Nevertheless they have been commonly agreed for proper
system operation and deployment when specific deployment conditions or compatibility requirements are
present. Compliance to all or some of these requirements is left to manufacturer decision.
Technical background for most of the parameters and requirements referred to in this multi-part deliverable may be
found in ETSI TR 101 036-1 [i.16].
Health and safety requirements and EMC conditions and requirements are not considered in the ETSI EN 302 217
series.
