Overview

SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 is a Slovenian standard that amends ETS 300 198 and aligns it for harmonization across Europe. Developed by SIST and based on the work of ETSI, this standard defines the essential parameters for radio relay systems operating at 23 GHz, specifically for the transmission of digital signals and analogue video signals. It complements ETS 300 385 and is designed to support the publication of harmonized standards in the Official Journal of the European Communities, particularly in reference to the EMC Directive (89/336/EEC).

This amendment facilitates the alignment of national regulations, ensuring interoperability, market access, and compliance for manufacturers and telecommunications operators deploying radio relay equipment in the fixed service within the 21.2 GHz to 23.6 GHz frequency range.

Key Topics

• Transmission and Multiplexing (TM):

  • Defines requirements for the transmission of both digital and analogue signals over point-to-point radio links.
  • Outlines parameters for effective channel separation and spectrum management.

• Frequency Bands and Channel Options:

  • Specifies operation in the 21.2 GHz to 23.6 GHz frequency range.
  • Supports channel spacings of 3.5, 7, 14, 28, 56, and 112 MHz for digital systems; 28 and 56 MHz for analogue systems.

• Compliance and Approval:

  • Details parameter limits and measurement methods for equipment approval.
  • Addresses transmitter and receiver spurious emission limits, receiver immunity tests, system performance benchmarks, and channel interference parameters.
  • Directs manufacturers to declare compliance for transmission capacity and environmental conditions.

• Harmonization for the EMC Directive:

  • Ensures that equipment meets essential electromagnetic compatibility requirements.
  • Facilitates unified spectrum management across multiple European countries.

Applications

SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 is vital for organizations involved in:

• Telecommunications Infrastructure:

  • Deploying high-capacity radio relay links for backbone and distribution networks.
  • Providing reliable transmission of digital data and high-quality analogue video, suitable for both urban and rural telecom extensions.

• Network Operators and Service Providers:

  • Meeting regulatory approval for equipment to ensure interoperability across European networks.
  • Facilitating cross-border wireless services and supporting Europe-wide telecommunications strategies.

• Manufacturers of Radio Equipment:

  • Designing and certifying equipment in compliance with harmonized technical requirements.
  • Streamlining product access to multiple national markets by adhering to unified standards.

• Regulatory and Spectrum Authorities:

  • Referencing consistent technical requirements for type approval, licensing, and frequency management.
  • Supporting the withdrawal of conflicting national standards to achieve spectrum harmonization.

Related Standards

• ETS 300 198: Original European Telecommunications Standard for 23 GHz radio relay systems, detailing core technical parameters.
• ETS 300 385: Companion standard addressing additional requirements for harmonized radio equipment approval.
• CEPT/ERC/DEC/(96)09: European Radiocommunications Committee Decision on adopting harmonized regulations for radio relay systems in this frequency range.
• Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive): European directive on electromagnetic compatibility, referenced for essential compliance.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
The free movement of radiocommunications goods and the provision of Europe-wide services for
radiocommunications are only achievable if there exist common regulations throughout Europe regarding availability
of frequency bands, approval requirements and border crossing procedures. A basic requirement to fulfil these
objectives is the Europe-wide implementation of national regulations based on the European Telecommunications
Standards (ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)09) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 198 and
withdraw any conflicting national standard.
2. BACKGROUND
Both the ERC and ETSI are involved in the development of common regulations, as described in (1) above. The
Memorandum of Understanding between ERC and ETSI explains the respective responsibilities of the two
organisations and its annex describes the principles of co-operation. The ERC, for its part, should, inter alia, adopt
Decisions on the introduction of ETSI standards into approval regimes.
ETS 300 198 has been prepared by the Transmission and Multiplexing (TM) Technical Committee of ETSI. The
standard has undergone the ETSI standards approval procedure and is now published as an ETS.
The ETS is based on CEPT Recommendation T/R 13-02.
The use of the frequency range (21.2 to 23.6 GHz ) covered by ETS 300 198 is not harmonised within CEPT.
Administrations have adopted different arrangements, to meet national requirements, for frequency bands and
channel separations (3.5, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 112 MHz). Further, the equipment used in this frequency range is subject
to national licensing and frequency planning which requires specification of, inter alia, frequency of operation and
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.).
Nevertheless, there are a number of parameters, in particular those considered by the ERC as essential for spectrum
management purposes , which can be harmonised by adopting within approval regulations the limit values and
measurement methods provided in ETS 300 198.
