Foreword This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Transmission and Multiplexing (TM). Due to recent increasing interest in this frequency range, the standard has been revised three times, leading to publication of versions 1.2.1, 1.3.1 and 1.4.1. A short description of the differences in FR5 for these versions is given below: V1.2.1: 3 classes (1, 2 and 3), the RPE for class 3 is specified for V polarization only. V1.3.1: 4 classes (1, 2, 3 and 4), the RPE for class 3 is the same as 1.2.1 but it is valid for both H and V; class 4 is less stringent than class 3. V1.4.1: 3 classes (1, 2 and 3), class 3 give three specifications (3a, 3b and 3c); as class numbers increase, this indicates improved performance. The RPE for class 3a (equivalent to the class 3 given in versions 1.2.1 and 1.3.1) is now specified for V polarization only. The RPE for class 3b (the copolar horizontal polarization values are equivalent to the class 4 given in version 1.3.1) is now specified for both polarizations, and the crosspolar values have been improved. The RPE for class 3c is specified for both polarizations.

Introduction The purpose of the present document is to define only those antenna parameters necessary to ensure optimum frequency co-ordination between communication services in the frequency range 3 GHz to 60 GHz. Additional parameters appropriate to system implementation may be subject to agreement between the equipment purchaser and supplier. Further guidance is provided in annex A.

1 Scope The present document addresses the minimum requirements for single main beam, linear polarization, directional antennas to be adopted in conjunction with Point-to-Point (P-P) systems operating in the frequency range 3 GHz to 60 GHz. Single polarization antennas, dual polarization antennas, dual band/single polarized antennas and dual band/dual polarization antennas are considered. A regulatory authority may impose tighter requirements than the minimum values given in the present document, in order to maximize the use of the scarce spectrum resources. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.

4 Frequency ranges The present document applies to sub-bands within 3 GHz to 60 GHz frequency band. Fixed link frequency allocations are in accordance with the WRC-2000 [1] as given in ITU-R Recommendation F.746-6 [2] and other frequency plans. For the purposes of the present document, the overall frequency range 3 GHz to 60 GHz is divided into six frequency ranges as follows: Range 1: 3 GHz to 14 GHz; Range 2: 14 GHz to 20 GHz; Range 3: 20 GHz to 24 GHz; Range 4: 24 GHz to 30 GHz; Range 5: 30 GHz to 47 GHz; Range 6: 47 GHz to 60 GHz. 5 Classification of antennas With respect to antenna gain, two gain categories are applicable: Gain category 1: those antennas which require low gain for co-ordination purposes; Gain category 2:
those antennas which require high gain for co-ordination purposes. With respect to Radiation Pattern Envelope (RPE), four classes have been identified: Class 1: Those antennas required for use in networks where there is a low interference potential. Typical examples of a low interference potential might be: - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a low density deployment, and therefore, a low potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where high capacity digital radio is proposed; - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a medium potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where low capacity digital radio is proposed. Class 2: Those antennas required for use in networks where there is a high interference potential. Typical examples of a high interference potential might be: - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a medium potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where high capacity digital radio is proposed; - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a high density deployment, and therefore, a high potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where low capacity digital radio is proposed. Class 3: Those antennas required for use in networks where there is a very high interference potential. Typical examples of a very high interference potential might be: - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a high density deployment, and therefore, a high potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where high capacity digital radio is proposed. Class 4: Those antennas required for use in networks where there is an extremely high interference potential. Typical examples of an extremely high interference potential might be: - antennas for use in radio networks where there is a very high density deployment, and therefore, a very high potential for inter- and intra-system interference, and where high capacity digital radio is proposed. In frequency bands where spectrum congestion is likely to exist, the regulator may insist on the use of higher class antennas. SIST EN 300 833 V1.4.1:2003
