scope:

The present document applies to Multimedia Wireless Systems (MWS) in the band 40,5 GHz to 43,5 GHz, which operate in block assignments, according to ECC/REC 01-04 [19]. It includes those parameters considered to be essential under article 3.2 of the Directive 1999/5/EC [1], 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". Where equipment is intended for operation other than as specified in ECC/REC 01-04 [19] there may be additional requirements outside the scope of the present document. The relevant equipment parameters in EN 301 997-1 [13] are referenced as well as antenna parameters in EN 301 215-3 [3]. These standards also contain other requirements that are not considered essential for the R&TTE Directive [1], but are nevertheless recommended on a voluntary basis to meet relevant network performance objectives as defined by international standardizing bodies.
