The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Point-to-point (P-P) Digital
Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in frequency bands allocated to Fixed Service (FS) from 1 GHz to 174,8 GHz,
corresponding to the appropriate frequency bands from 1,4 GHz to 174,8 GHz as described in relevant annexes B
through L.
Systems in the scope of the present document are generally intended to operate in full Frequency Division Duplex
(FDD) and cover also unidirectional links applications. Time Division Duplex (TDD) applications, when possibly
applicable in a specific band, are explicitly mentioned as appropriate in the relevant annexes B through L.
Other possible prescriptions, limitations and requirements, for operation in specific bands are also explicitly mentioned,
as appropriate, in the relevant annexes B through L.
Systems in the scope of the present document are intended to operate only in combination with directive fixed gain
antennas respecting the technical requirements in ETSI EN 302 217-4 [6]. Systems in the scope of the present document
may be composed by equipment without antennas (see informative annex Q for background) or equipment including
integral (but physically detachable) or dedicated antenna.
Systems including integral antennas physically undetachable from the radio equipment are not in the scope of the
present document (see note 1).
NOTE 1: For additional information, the rationale is that the present document as well as ETSI EN 301 126-1 [1]
(radio equipment parameters testing) do not provide radiated test methods and ETSI EN 301 126-3-1 [2]
(antenna parameters testing) does not provide test methods for undetachable antennas; future revisions
could fill this vacancy.
NOTE 2: The relationship between the present document and the essential requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

The present document details standardized procedures for conformance test of radio interface parameters for Point to
Point (PP) equipment used for Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS). Three sets of procedures (for ER, OR and CP) are
considered in the scope of the present document:
• Procedures for radio parameters relevant to Essential Requirements (ER) and Optional Requirements (OR),
relevant to article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1]. Requirements for these parameters are detailed in ETSI
EN 302 217-2 [9].
• Procedures for Complementary Requirements (CP) that, even if not considered "essential" in the light of
article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1], are considered important for the operations of PP equipment. These
parameters are detailed in clause 8 of ETSI EN 302 217-1 [8].
The present document is mainly intended to be applied in conjunction with the above equipment relevant standards and
will enable commonality of test results, irrespective of the body carrying out the test.
However, the present document can be used also in conjunction with other DFRS relevant standards that would refer to
the parameters and test methods hereby described.
The conformance tests described in the present document are those related to radio specific parameters required directly
by the radio equipment relevant standards at antenna ports in conducted test methods. Conformance tests to other
boundary standards (e.g. those for system input/output interfaces (i.e. set at X/X' interface, shown in figure 2, and
related baseband process) are outside the scope of the present document.
Also, tests described in the present document are not applicable to radio equipment with integral antenna of
undetachable antenna type requiring radiated test methods.

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 174,8 GHz falling within the scope (see note) of ETSI 
EN 302 217-2 [i.2]. 
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 71 GHz; 
Range 7: 71 GHz to 86 GHz; 
Range 8: 92 GHz to 114,25 GHz; 
Range 9: 130 GHz to 174,8 GHz. 
The present document is applicable to fixed radio equipment with integral (see note) or dedicated antennas. 
NOTE: For information, ETSI EN 302 217-2 [i.2] includes in its scope only the use of detachable integral 
antennas; undetachable integral antennas are not considered due to the present lack of radiated test 
procedures for the radio equipment parameters. 
The present document also applies to stand-alone antennas, placed separately on the market. In this case the present 
document is to be used by radio equipment manufacturers to provide guidance as to the information for the user, as 
required by article 10 paragraph 8 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1], regarding the antenna characteristics required so as the 
radio equipment, supplied without antenna, can operate as intended in its technical documentation. 
The present document is applicable to fixed beam antennas, as well as to "self-alignment tracking" antenna, with limited 
tracking range, so that all requirements in the present document are respected throughout the tracking angle indicated in 
the technical documentation. 
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.

The present document specifies policy and security requirements for the issuance, maintenance and life-cycle 
management of EU qualified certificates as defined in Regulation (EU) No 910/2014 [i.1]. These policy and security 
requirements support reference certificate policies for the issuance, maintenance and life-cycle management of EU 
qualified certificates issued to natural persons (including natural persons associated with a legal person or a website) 
and to legal persons (including legal persons associated with a website), respectively. 
The present document does not specify how the requirements identified can be assessed by an independent party, 
including requirements for information to be made available to such independent assessors, or requirements on such 
assessors. 
NOTE: See ETSI EN 319 403 [i.6] for guidance on assessment of TSP's processes and services. The present 
document references ETSI EN 319 411-1 [2] for general requirements on TSP issuing certificates
