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

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.
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], annex D), alternative minimum RIC figures are not defined.
