Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Transmission and
Multiplexing (TM) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS contains the minimum technical requirements to ensure compatibility of products and
conformance with radio regulations across ETSI member states. Radio terminals from different
manufacturers are not required to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface). However,
terminals may be combined with other manufacturers equipment on a Radio Frequency (RF) branching
network for operation on different polarizations.
This ETS defines the requirements of radio terminal and radio relay equipment and associated interfaces.
The requirements for multiplex, network management and antenna/feeder equipment may be addressed
elsewhere.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the minimum performance requirements for
terrestrial fixed services radio communications equipment, as given below, in bands in the frequency
ranges 10 GHz and 14 GHz using 20 MHz channel spacing.
This ETS is applicable in those countries where the frequency plan in these bands is based on a 20 MHz
spacing; it does not prevent the development of future ETSs for equipment operated in these bands using
a different channel plan.
This ETS does not cover aspects related to test procedures and test conditions which are in the scope of
another ETS under study in TM4.
The parameters specified fall into two categories:
a) those required to provide compatibility between channels from different sources of equipment on
the same route, connected either to separate antennas, or to separate polarizations of the same
antenna. This category also includes parameters providing compatibility with the existing radio-relay
network;
b) parameters defining the transmission quality of the proposed systems.
The standardization includes the following specifications:
- transmitter and receiver characteristics;
- baseband and RF interface characteristics;
- diversity system characteristics.
As regards Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) systems, the Section Overhead (SOH) processing is
covered in CCIR Recommendation 750 [8].
Safety aspects are outside the mandate ot ETSI and they will not be considered in this ETS.

4 General characteristics (digital and analogue)
4.1 Frequency bands and channel arrangements
The systems shall be required to operate in the frequency bands 10 GHz or 14 GHz using a channel
spacing of 20 MHz according to ITU-R Recommendation 746 [7].
NOTE: A typical application of ITU-R Recommendation 746 [7] is shown in annex B.

Channel spacing (MHz) 20
4.1.2 Transmit/receive minimum separation
The minimum separation between the centre frequencies of the closest go and return radio channels shall
be 30 MHz.
4.1.3 Transmit/receive duplex frequency separation
The transmitter receiver duplex frequency separation should be approximately half of the allocated
frequency band. An example of a national channel plan in use is given in annex B for information.
4.2 Compatibility requirements between systems
a) Systems operating on common hops will normally use the same double polarized antenna;
b) there should be no requirement to operate transmitting equipment from one manufacturer with
receiving equipment from another;
---------------------- Page: 11 ----------------------
SIST ETS 300 638 E1:2003
Page 10
ETS 300 638: November 1996
c) there should be no requirement to multiplex equipment from different manufacturers on the same
polarization of the same antenna.
4.3 Types of installation
Both indoor and partially outdoor installations are considered.
Single RF channel links connected to different polarizations of the same antenna via a polarization
duplexer (mainly in a partially outdoor configuration) as well as multi RF channel links with classical RF
filter channel branching units are anticipated.
4.3.1 Environmental conditions
The equipment shall be required to meet either the environmental conditions set out in ETS 300 019,
part 1-3 and part 1-4 [1], which define weatherprotected and non-weatherprotected locations, classes and
test severities, or one of the conditions listed in subclause 4.3.1.2.
4.3.1.1 Equipment within weatherprotected locations
The most important climatic parameters for the five classes defined are given in table 2.
Table 2: Climatic parameters (weatherprotected)
Climatic class 3.1 3.2 3.3 3.4 3.5

For equipment designed for stationary use in weatherprotected locations (indoor installation), only classes
3.1 or 3.2 shall apply (see ETS 300 019, part 1-3 [1]).
4.3.1.2 Equipment for non-weatherprotected locations
This type of equipment is generally described as "outdoor" equipment. Class 4.1 or extended class 4.1E
parameters should be applied. Class 4.1 applies to many European countries and class 4.1E applies to
them all. The most important parameters values are given in table 3.

It should be noted that radio cabinets supplied with a system will be "weather protected" including full
protection against precipitation and wind. Climatic classes 3.3, 3.4 and 3.5 (subclause 4.3.1.1) may,
therefore, also be applicable to equipment in outdoor locations.
The operation of the outdoor equipment in accordance with class 4.1E shall not be mandatory for all users
of this ETS.
Some users of this ETS may also decide to apply one of the alternative parameters given in table 4.

4.5 TMN interface
For SDH equipment a Telecommunications Management Network (TMN) interface required by a user
should follow ETSI, TM2 and TM3 recommendations in accordance with ITU-T Recommendations
G.784 [15] and G.773 [14] and CCIR Recommendations 750 [8] and 751 [9]. For as Plesiochronous
Digital Hierarchy (PDH) equipment the TMN interface is under study.
4.6 Power supply
The equipment shall operate from one or more of the supply voltages within the ranges specified in
ETS 300 132 [2].

SIST ETS 300 638 E1:2003
Page 12
ETS 300 638: November 1996
4.7 Receiver Intermediate frequency
The intermediate frequency, if accessible as a measurement point, shall be 70 MHz or 140 MHz.
5 Parameters for digital systems
5.1 Transmission capacity
Bit rates: 2 x 34 Mbit/s, 2 x 45 Mbit/s, 2 x 51 Mbit/s (sub-STM-1). Way-side traffic of n x 2 Mbit/s is also
considered for PDH systems.
For the transport of compressed digital video signals multiple lower bit rate signals (e.g. n x 8 Mb/s) are
envisaged as payloads, leading to similar gross transmission bit rates.
In the following, the 2 x 34 Mbit/s and 2 x 45 Mbit/s systems will be indicated as PDH systems and the
2 x 51 Mbit/s system as an SDH system.
5.2 Applications
Medium capacity point-to-point local and regional networks, digital TV.
5.3 Baseband parameters
5.3.1 Plesiochronous interfaces
Plesiochronous interfaces shall comply with ITU-T Recommendation G.703 [12]. Service channels are
outside the scope of this ETS.
5.3.2 SDH baseband interface
Whenever a synchronous interface is required for 2 x 51 Mbit/s (sub-Synchronous Transport Module -
level 1 (STM-1)) systems, this shall be a standard STM-1 (ETSI TM3, VC4 - based) interface.
5.4 Transmitter characteristics
5.4.1 Transmitter power range
Nominal output power at point C' of the system block diagram (figure 1) shall be in the range +24 to
+28 dBm.
A capability for output power level adjustment shall be provided. The range of this transmitter adjustment
shall not be less than 20 dB, adjustable in increments of 5 dB or less.
The tolerance of the nominal output power shall be within:
± 3 dB: class 4.1E (subclause 4.3.1.2);
± 2 dB: all other classes (subclause 4.3.1.1 and 4.3.1.2.).
NOTE: Limitation of the output power level in the band 10.6-10.68 shall be taken into account
according to Radio Regulations, article 8 footnote 831 (maximum EIRP = 40 dBW and
the power delivered to the antenna shall not exceed -3 dBW).
5.4.2 Automatic Transmit Power Control (ATPC)
ATPC is an optional feature; information on ATPC is given in annex A.
The ATPC range shall not exceed 15 dB. When compatibility with analogue systems is required, the
lowest power amplifier output level shall not be less than + 10 dBm; this may result in a reduced ATPC
range.

The mask shall be measured with a modulating baseband signal. In the case of a PDH interface, a
23
Pseudo-Random Binary Sequence (PRBS) of 2 - 1 at each input port shall be used. In the case of a
SDH interface, a STM-1 test signal shall be defined.
The 0 dB level shown on the spectrum masks relates to the spectral power density of the nominal centre
frequency disregarding residual carrier. The spectrum mask does not include frequency tolerance.
For the 14 GHz band, where the centre gap is 30 MHz, a mask is specified for the innermost edges of the
centre gap channels 6 and 1' (referenced to point B'). The mask is shown in figure 2b.

5.4.3.2 Spectral line at the symbol rate
The power level (reference point B') of spectral lines at a distance from the channel centre frequency
equal to the symbol rate shall be less than -37 dBm.
5.4.4 Spurious emissions
It is necessary to define spurious emissions from transmitters for two reasons:
a) to limit interference into systems operating wholly externally to the system;
b) to limit local interference within the system where transmitters and receivers are directly connected
via the filter and branching systems.
This leads to two sets of spurious emission limits where the specific limits given for "internal" interference
are required to be no greater than the "external" level limits at point C'.
