The present document applies to the following digital fixed radio systems (DFRS), including equipment with integral antenna and antenna types:
- point-to-point systems intended for operation in frequency bands that require co-ordination;
- point-to-point systems intended for operation in frequency bands that do not require co-ordination;
- antennas for point-to-point operation.
The present document summarizes all characteristics, principles, terms and definitions that are common to all P-P equipment and antennas and its consultation is necessary when using all other parts of EN 302 217 series.
EN 302 217-2-1 [i.33] and EN 302 217-4-1 [i.36] summarize the other system dependent characteristics and include limits for "non-essential" requirements, EN 302 217-2-2 [i.34], EN 302 217-3 [i.35] and EN 302 217-4-2 [i.37] contain the whole description and limits of "essential" requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
Health and safety requirements, relevant to article 3.1a of the R&TTE Directive [1] are not considered in any part of this EN 302 217 series. CENELEC is responsible for the relevant standards.
EMC conditions and requirements, relevant to article 3.1b of the R&TTE Directive [1] and any other essential requirement relevant to article 3.3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] are not in the scope of any part of this EN 302 217 series. They may be found in EN 301 489-1 [i.26] and EN 301 489-4 [i.27].
