The present document details standardized procedures for conformance testing of equipment for Point-to-MultiPoint
digital (P-MP) radio relay systems.
Standardized procedures are required in order to fulfil CEPT/ERC/DEC/(97)10 [1] on the mutual recognition, within
CEPT, of the results of conformance tests on equipment carried out in individual CEPT Countries. Furthermore the
procedures described in the present document are relevant to be able to fulfil the Conformance assessment procedure
described in Chapter II of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [10] in order to demonstrate the compliance of the DRRS
with the relevant essential requirements identified in article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive 1999/5/EC [10].
Point-to Multipoint radio relay systems may use different access methods, taking into account the basic physical
parameters of the frequency, the code and the time. The test procedures for the following basic access methods are
covered by the present document, namely:
Part 2-2: Frequency Division Multiple Access Methods (FDMA);
Part 2-3: Time Division Multiple Access Methods (TDMA);
Part 2-4: Frequency Hopping Code Division Multiple Access Methods (FH-CDMA);
Part 2-5: Direct Sequence Code Division Multiple Access Methods (DS-CDMA).
The present document reflects the principles and definitions set out in TR 101 036-2 (see bibliography) which defines
the generic format for the editorial and technical content for all individual equipment ENs/ETSs relating to Point to
Multipoint digital radio relay systems. The present document describes harmonized test objectives and test procedures
for the parameters detailed in TR 101 036-2 (see bibliography). Thus, it is intended to be applied in conjunction with
the individual equipment ENs/ETSs and will enable commonality of test results, irrespective of the Accredited Body
carrying out the test.
The conformance tests described in the present document are those (...abbreviated)
