Applicability

The present document specifies the essential parameters for Point-to-point (P-P) Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in frequency bands allocated to Fixed Service (FS) from 1,3 GHz to 86 GHz.

Systems in the scope of the present document are generally intended to operate in full frequency division duplex (FDD) and covers also unidirectional applications. Time division duplex (TDD) applications, when possibly applicable in a specific band, are explicitly mentioned as appropriate in annexes B through J.

The present document intends to cover the provisions of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] regarding article 3.2 (see note 1).

NOTE 1: In particular recital 10 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] highlights the similar importance of TX and RX characteristics in the avoidance of harmful interference and in efficient use of shared or adjacent channels.

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 Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] may 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.

For the correct understanding and application of the requirements in the present document, the definitions summarized in ETSI EN 302 217-1 [4] are also relevant; those definitions are generally hereby identified with the use of italic characters (e.g. mixed-mode).

Common provisions applicable for all bands are defined in clause 1.2 to clause 1.5, while band specific provisions are defined in clause 1.6.
