scope:

The present document defines the characteristics and requirements of antennas for point-to-point radio equipment operating in the frequency range from 1 GHz to 86 GHz falling within the scope of ETSI EN 302 217-2 [i.4].

For technical commonalities that range is here divided into sub-ranges as follows:

Range 0: 1 GHz to 3 GHz;

Range 1: 3 GHz to 14 GHz;

Range 2: 14 GHz to 20 GHz;

Range 3: 20 GHz to 24 GHz;

Range 4: 24 GHz to 30 GHz;

Range 5: 30 GHz to 47 GHz;

Range 6: 47 GHz to 66 GHz;

Range 7: 66 GHz to 86 GHz.

The present document is applicable to fixed radio equipment with integral or dedicated antennas, and to stand-alone antennas. In the latter case the present document may be used to provide guidance as to the information to be supplied by a manufacturer as required by article 10 paragraph 8 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2].

The main body of the present document specifies the characteristics that define the various antenna classes, whilst the annexes provide additional information that is useful to both antenna manufacturers and user/installers.
