scope:

The present document specifies the essential electrical requirements for linear polarization fixed beam antennas to be utilized with new Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems, including central station and terminal station applications, operating in frequency bands from 1 GHz to 3 GHz. These systems use various multiple access schemes. Electronically steerable antennas, and circularly polarized antennas are not considered under the present document. Only in exceptional circumstances, and after a consultation period with operators and manufacturers, the Regulatory Authority may impose the use of tighter requirements than the minimum values given in the present document, in order to maximize the use of scarce spectrum resources.
