No guaranteecan be given as to the existence of other IPRs not referenced in SR 000 314 (or the updates on the ETSI Web server)which are, or may be, or may become, essential to the present document.ForewordThis European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Transmissionand Multiplexing (TM).The present document contains the minimum technical requirements to ensure compatibility of products andconformance with radio regulations across ETSI member states. Radio terminals from different manufacturers are notrequired to interwork at radio frequency (i.e. no common air interface). However, terminals may be combined with othermanufacturers equipment on an Radio Frequency (RF) branching network for operation on different polarizations.The present document 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.National transposition datesDate of adoption of this EN:23 October 1998Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa):31 January 1999Date of latest publication of new National Standardor endorsement of this EN (dop/e):31 July 1999Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow):31 July 1999SIST EN 300 234 V1.2.1:2003



ETSIEN 300 234 V1.2.1 (1998-10)61ScopeThe present document specifies parameters for digital radio-relay systems with a channel capacity of 1 x SynchronousTransport Module-level 1 (1 x STM-1) designed to operate in defined bands up to 15 GHz utilising approximately30 MHz between adjacent cross-polar channels.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 alsoincludes parameters providing compatibility with the existing radio-relay network;b)parameters defining the transmission quality of the proposed systems.The task of defining compatibility requirements with analogue and digital systems on the same hop and at nodes is madecomplex by the fact that analogue systems and some digital systems are not standardized. Compatibility requirementsare, therefore, limited to allowing the operation of digital and analogue channels on separate ports of the same antenna.The standardization includes the following specifications:-transmitter and receiver characteristics;-baseband and Radio Frequency (RF) interface characteristics;-diversity system characteristics.Two possible baseband interfaces have to be considered:-one for STM-1 signals (electrical and/or optical) in accordance with ITU-R Recommendation 750; and-one for 140 Mbit/s plesiochronous signals (only electrical), according to ITU-T Recommendation G.703.The 140 Mbit/s signals should be carried "open-port", i.e. in a transparent manner independent of their content. Theyshould be mapped into a 155 Mbit/s STM-1 signal as described in ITU-T Recommendations G.708 and G.709.As regards the STM-1 signal the Section Overhead (SOH) processing is covered in a separate ETSI STC TM 4document (a report on Synchronous Digital Hierarchy (SDH) aspects) and in ITU-R Recommendation 750 [7].2ReferencesThe following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the presentdocument.· References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) ornon-specific.· For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.· For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.· A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]ITU-R Recommendation 382: "Radio-frequency channel arrangements for medium and highcapacity analogue radio-relay systems operating in the 2 and 4 GHz bands, or for medium and highcapacity digital radio-relay systems operating in the 4 GHz band".[2]ITU-R Recommendation 385: "Radio-frequency channel arrangements for radio-relay systemsoperating in the 7 GHz band".[3]ITU-R Recommendation 383: "Radio-frequency channel arrangements for radio-relay systemsoperating in the Lower 6 GHz band".SIST EN 300 234 V1.2.1:2003

Application may also be envisaged for locallinks and unidirectional connections.Systems considered in the present document should be able to respect ITU-R high grade performance objectives.The systems considered should operate in these networks having regard for existing hop lengths, which are consideredto be normally up to about 30 km to 40 km for regional and about 60 km for trunk networks, respectively. Hop lengthsgreater than this latter length, up to about 100 km, are used in special applications.5General characteristics5.1Frequency bands and channel arrangementsThe systems shall be required to operate in the following frequency bands, to the specified ITU-R Recommendation onthe quoted channel spacings.4 GHzITU-R Recommendation 382 [1] with 29 MHz channel spacing. The centre gap between transmitters and receivers inITU-R Recommendation 382 [1] is 68 MHz.Lower 6 GHzITU-R Recommendation 383 [3] with 29,65 MHz spacing and a centre gap of 44,49 MHz. The alternative plan in whichchannels 8 and 1' operate on opposite polarizations should be utilised.7 GHzA number of frequency channelling plans are in use at 7 GHz, including that given in ITU-R Recommendation 385 [2]Annex III. These plans all make use of 28 MHz channel spacing with centre gaps of 56 MHz or 84 MHz.8 GHzITU-R Recommendation 386 [4], Annex 1, with 29,650 MHz spacing and a centre gap of 103,770 MHz.13 GHzITU-R Recommendation 497 [5] with 28 MHz spacing and a centre gap of 70 MHz.SIST EN 300 234 V1.2.1:2003

The centre gap shall be equal to N x 28 MHz (N integer) andgreater than 84 MHz.5.2Modes of operationThe mode of operation shall make use of alternate polarizations for adjacent channels in all frequency bands up to15 GHz (covered by the present document).It should be noted that systems designed for co-frequency cross-polar operation with a 30 MHz channel spacing are alsoexpected to comply at least with the specifications contained in the present document.However, more stringent specifications for spectrum masks and interference sensitivity would certainly be required forco-frequency cross-polar operation.5.3Types of installationFor frequency bands below 10 GHz mainly indoor installations are foreseen.For radio-relay systems operating in the 13 GHz and 15 GHz bands both indoor and partially outdoor installations areforeseen.5.3.1Environmental conditionsThe equipment shall be required to meet either the environmental conditions set out in ETS 300 019-1-3 [9] andETS 300 019-1-4 [9], which define weatherprotected and non-weatherprotected locations, classes and test severities, orone of the conditions listed in subclause 5.3.1.2.5.3.1.1Equipment within weatherprotected locationsThe most important climatic parameters for the five classes defined are given in table 1.Table 1Climatic class3.13.23.33.43.5High air temperature (ºC)+40+45+55+70+40Low air temperature (ºC)[phone]High relative humidity (%)8595100100100Low relative humidity (%)55101010Air movement (m/s)55555Solar radiation (W/m²)7007001 1201 120-For equipment designed for stationary use in weatherprotected locations (indoor installation), only classes 3.1 or 3.2shall apply (see ETS 300 019-1-3 [9]).5.3.1.2Equipment for non-weatherprotected locationsThis type of equipment is generally described as "outdoor" equipment.
