Foreword
This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical
Committee Transmission and Multiplexing (TM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of
technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of
the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive" [1]).
Technical specifications relevant to Directive 1999/5/EC [1] are given in annex A.
This multi-part deliverable covers characteristics and requirements for fixed multipoint radio equipment and antennas,
using a variety of access and duplex methods and operating at a variety of bit rates in frequency bands as specified in
the present document.
The present document is part 3 of a multi-part deliverable covering the Fixed Radio Systems; Multipoint Equipment and
Antennas, as identified below:
Part 1: "Overview and Requirements for Digital Multipoint Radio Systems";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive for Digital
Multipoint Radio Equipment";
Part 3: "Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive for
Multipoint Radio Antennas".
EN 302 326-2 [6] and the present document are Harmonized ENs and essential requirements are those requirements
which are essential under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
In the above, "equipment" includes equipment with integral antennas, and "antennas" include requirements for antennas
whether they are integral or non-integral.
The present document with EN 302 326-2 [6] will replace and supersede the harmonized EN 301 753 (see bibliography)
for all Multipoint equipment and antennas under its scope.
The date of cessation of presumption of conformity to R&TTE Directive [1] with reference to EN 301 753
(see bibliography, latest version published) is proposed to be two years after the date of publication in the OJ EC of the
present document.

For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489 (see bibliography), the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used
under the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC (see bibliography).
NOTE: For Fixed Radio Systems, EN 301 489-1 and EN 301 489-4 (see bibliography) are relevant.
For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive 73/23/EEC
(see bibliography) and new standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering
acoustic safety may also be required.
The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [1] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive [1] may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in an equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published;
• it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity
assessment.

1 Scope
1.1 General
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive [1] regarding article 3.2, 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".
The present document is applicable to the essential requirements of antennas (including equipment with integral
antennas) used in fixed multipoint radio systems intended for use in the frequency bands identified in EN 302 326-1 [5].
The present document together with EN 302 326-2 [6], is intended to replace and supersede, after a suitable transition
period, the harmonized EN 301 753 (see bibliography). for all multipoint equipment and antennas under its scope.
The present document and EN 302 326-2 [6] introduce rationalization among systems conforming to previous
EN 301 753 (see bibliography) referencing a number of ENs which, being developed at different times, may have
specified slightly different antenna parameters. Nevertheless, care has been taken so that such variations will not affect
any frequency planning assumption for already deployed networks. Therefore, unless specifically mentioned, these new
requirements, whenever different from those single ENs, are considered completely "equivalent". Therefore mixed use
of antennas conforming to the present document and to those previous ones will not change, in practice, any frequency
planning rule in any network.
Therefore, from a strictly technical point of view, in most cases it is expected that equipment already conforming to the
previous versions of Harmonized EN 301 753 (see bibliography), would not need re-assessment of essential
requirements according to the present document. The legal implications of the declaration of conformity and equipment
labelling are, however, outside the scope of this whole multi-part deliverable. Cases, where additional conformance
assessment is required, will be specifically mentioned in EN 302 326-2 [6] and in the present document.
A formal change in the requirements, introduced by the present document, is that the antenna manufacturer shall declare
the nominal gain and tolerance of the antenna against which the conformity assessment is done.
In addition to the present document, other ENs specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under
other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] and which will apply to antennas within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site: http://www.newapproach.org.
In order to (technically) cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance
to cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 326-2 [6],
offers a number of system types and antennas alternatives, for selection by administrations, operators and manufacturers
dependent on the desired use of the radio spectrum and network/market requirements; those options include:
• channel separation alternatives (as provided by the relevant CEPT Recommendation);
• spectral efficiency class alternatives (different modulation formats provided in radio equipment standards);
• antenna sectorization alternatives and directivity classes for CS;
• antenna directivity class alternatives for TS and/or RS;
• antenna basic polarization (linear or circular).
For Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS), antennas are considered "relevant components" of "radio equipment"
according the definition in article 2(c) of the R&TTE Directive [1].
More information and background on the R&TTE Directive [1] possible applicability and requirements for stand alone
DFRS antennas is found in EG 201 399 (see bibliography) and in TR 101 506 (see bibliography).
Technical specifications relevant to the R&TTE Directive [1] are summarized in annex A. For Fixed Systems, antennas
are considered "relevant components" of "radio equipment" according the definition in article 2(c) of the R&TTE
Directive [1].

1.2 Frequency ranges
The present document is applicable to antennas (whether integral or non-integral) used in multipoint radio systems
operating in bands allocated to Fixed Service and assigned by national regulations to MP applications within the
following frequency ranges:
• 1 GHz to 3 GHz;
• 3 GHz to 5,9 GHz;
• 5,9 GHz to 8,5 GHz;
• 8,5 GHz to 11 GHz;
• 24,25 GHz to 30 GHz;
• 30 GHz to 40,5 GHz.
NOTE 1: Attention is drawn to the fact that the specific operating bands are subject of CEPT or national licensing
rules. Currently applicable Fixed Service bands and channel plans are described in EN 302 326-1 [5],
although the applicability of these Fixed Service bands is at the discretion of the national administrations.
Therefore, this EN applies only to those bands which are allocated to the Fixed Service and/or assigned
by national regulations to MP applications on the date on which the EN was published.
NOTE 2: Antenna characteristics are not specified at frequencies below 1 GHz and therefore the present document
and Harmonized EN 302 326-2 [6] can not be used for Declaration of conformity, according article 3.2 of
the R&TTE Directive [1] for non integral antennas or for equipment with integral antennas below this
limit. In this case, additional test suites for relevant antenna directional phenomena shall be produced in
accordance with a Notified Body.
NOTE 3: MWS antenna systems in the band 40,5 GHz to 43,5 GHz are not within the scope of the present
document. For these systems see EN 301 997-2 (see bibliography).
1.3 Profiles
1.3.1 General
This whole multi-part deliverable allows many distinct types of equipment, several different antenna types and several
ways in which they might be interconnected to form a network. However, the applicability is limited to certain
combinations of attributes and these combinations of attributes are called "profiles". The following clauses address:
• Equipment profiles.
• Antenna profiles.
• System profiles.
1.3.2 Equipment profiles
This whole multi-part deliverable allows alternative consistent sets of recommendations and requirements, each for
identified equipment profiles, which are defined in terms of their Equipment Classification (EqC), which classify
equipments in terms of key characteristics. The profiles (or indeed any specific equipment) within the scope of this
whole multi-part deliverable may be classified as discussed in normative annex A of EN 302 326-1 [5]. Clause 6.1 of
EN 302 326-1 [5] defines the permitted equipment profiles in terms of the various fields of EqC.
1.3.3 Antenna profiles
According to their characteristics, multipoint systems use different types of antennas. Table 1 outlines the multipoint
antenna types described in the present document.
