Meteorological Radars - Harmonised Standard for access to radio spectrum - Part 2: Meteorological Radar Sensor operating in the frequency band 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz (C band)
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz.
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line use a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna rotates and can be changed in elevation.
• The used waveguide is WR187/WG12 waveguide according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2] with a minimum length
between the output of the transmitter and the input of the antenna of 1 902 mm (20 times the wavelength of the
waveguide cut-off frequency).
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal polarized or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output an RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 2: According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7], ground-based radars used for
meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radio navigation service.
NOTE 3: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

between the output of the transmitter and the input of the antenna of 1 902 mm (20 times the wavelength of the
waveguide cut-off frequency).
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal polarized or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output an RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz.
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line use a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna rotates and can be changed in elevation.
• The used waveguide is WR187/WG12 waveguide according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2] with a minimum length
between the output of the transmitter and the input of the antenna of 1 902 mm (20 times the wavelength of the
waveguide cut-off frequency).
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal polarized or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output an RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 2: According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7], ground-based radars used for
meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radio navigation service.
NOTE 3: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz.
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line use a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna rotates and can be changed in elevation.
• The used waveguide is WR187/WG12 waveguide according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2] with a minimum length
between the output of the transmitter and the input of the antenna of 1 902 mm (20 times the wavelength of the
waveguide cut-off frequency).
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal polarized or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output an RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 2: According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7], ground-based radars used for
meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radio navigation service.
NOTE 3: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C-band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz.
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line use a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna rotates and can be changed in elevation.
• The used waveguide is WR187/WG12 waveguide according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2].
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal orientated or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output an RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 2: According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7], ground-based radars used for
meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radio navigation service.
NOTE 3: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
active state: state which produces the authorized emission
allocated band: frequency span that regionally or nationally is allocated to one or more radio services on a primary or
secondary basis
NOTE: A table of national frequency allocations are normally available from the radio authority for each national
state. A generic frequency allocation table is also available in the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7].
assigned frequency: centre of the frequency band assigned to a station
NOTE: This definition is taken from the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7].
assigned frequency band: frequency band within which the emission of a station is authorized
NOTE 1: The width of the band equals the necessary bandwidth plus twice the absolute value of the frequency
tolerance. Where space stations are concerned, the assigned frequency band includes twice the maximum
Doppler shift that may occur in relation to any point of the Earth's surface.
NOTE 2: This definition is taken from the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7].
characteristic frequency: frequency which can be easily identified and measured in a given emission
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 Draft ETSI EN 303 347-2 V1.1.3 (2020-06)

interfering signal outside the B bandwidth
-40
reference frequency: frequency having a fixed and specified position with respect to the assigned frequency
NOTE 1: The displacement of this frequency with respect to the assigned frequency has the same absolute value
and sign that the displacement of the characteristic frequency has with respect to the centre of the
frequency band occupied by the emission.
NOTE 2: This definition is taken from the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7].
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 Draft ETSI EN 303 347-2 V1.1.3 (2020-06)
spurious emission: emission on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of
which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information
NOTE 1: Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and
frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions.
NOTE 2: This definition is taken from the ITU Radio Regulations [i.7].
system coupler: directional waveguide coupler with forward and reverse port or only a forward port
NOTE: The system coupler is inserted in the waveguide run between the circulator and the antenna but not
directly located behind the antenna. Usually it is located very close behind the circulator.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C-band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line are using a hollow metallic rectangular or elliptic
waveguide.
• The antenna is rotating and can be changed in elevation.
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal orientated or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output a RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since transceiver and antenna are based on hollow metallic rectangular waveguide the frequency range
for measurements that needs to be addressed covers 3 152 MHz to 26 GHz. The lower limit of this
frequency range is obtained as the cut-off frequency of the generally used WR187/WG12 waveguide
according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2]. The upper limit corresponds to the upper limit stated in
ERC/Recommendation 74-01 [1], Table 1.
NOTE 2: Since at the transceiver output a RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 3: Meteorological radar systems covered by the present document are expected to use the band 5 250 MHz
to 5 850 MHz. According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [4], ground-based radars used
for meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radionavigation service.
NOTE 4: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 5: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for C-band meteorological radar
systems intended for the surveillance and classification of hydrometeors with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the following frequency range:
- 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz
• Utilizing unmodulated pulses or phase/frequency modulated pulses also known as pulse compression.
• The maximum output power (PEP) does not exceed 1 MW (i.e. 90 dBm).
• The transceiver antenna connection and its feeding RF line are using a hollow metallic rectangular or elliptic
waveguide.
• The antenna is rotating and can be changed in elevation.
• The antenna feed is waveguide based and the antenna is passive.
• The orientation of the transmitted field from the antenna can be vertical or horizontal orientated or it can be
both simultaneously.
• At the transceiver output a RF circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since transceiver and antenna are based on hollow metallic rectangular waveguide the frequency range
for measurements that needs to be addressed covers 3 152 MHz to 26 GHz. The lower limit of this
frequency range is obtained as the cut-off frequency of the generally used WR187/WG12 waveguide
according to IEC 60153-2 [i.2]. The upper limit corresponds to the upper limit stated in
ERC/Recommendation 74-01 [1], Table 1.
NOTE 2: Since at the transceiver output a RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 3: Meteorological radar systems covered by the present document are expected to use the band 5 250 MHz
to 5 850 MHz. According to provision 5.452 of the ITU Radio Regulations [4], ground-based radars used
for meteorological purposes in the band 5 600 MHz to 5 650 MHz are authorized to operate on a basis of
equality with stations of the maritime radionavigation service.
NOTE 4: Further technical and operational characteristics of meteorological radar systems can be found in
Recommendation ITU-R M.1849-1 [i.3].
NOTE 5: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in Annex A.

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
active state: state which produces the authorized emission
allocated band: frequency span that regionally or nationally is allocated to one or more radio services on a primary or
secondary basis
NOTE: A table of national frequency allocations are normally available from the radio authority for each national
state. A generic frequency allocation table is also available in the ITU Radio Regulations [4].
assigned frequency: centre of the frequency band assigned to a station
NOTE: This definition is taken from the ITU Radio Regulations [4].
assigned frequency band: frequency band within which the emission of a station is authorized
