Overview

SIST ETS 300 633 E1:2003 specifies the essential performance requirements for terrestrial low and medium capacity point-to-point digital radio relay systems (DRRS) operating in the frequency range 2.1 GHz to 2.6 GHz. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in line with ETSI standards, this document defines parameters for digital fixed service radio relay equipment used in local and regional telecommunications networks. The standard covers DRRS with data rates up to 4 × 2/8 Mbit/s, catering to various environmental conditions and system configurations.

Key Topics

• Frequency Range and Channel Arrangements

  • Operation within 2.1 GHz to 2.6 GHz bands, as defined by CEPT and ITU-R recommendations.
  • Supports standard channel spacings: 500 kHz, 1 MHz, 1.75 MHz, 2 MHz, 3.5 MHz, 7 MHz, and 14 MHz for different classes of equipment.

• System Capacity and Modulation Classes

  • Equipment classified into three classes based on modulation levels (e.g., FSK, QAM) optimizing spectral efficiency.
  • Covers bit rates from 64 kbit/s, 2 Mbit/s, up to 34 Mbit/s.

• Performance Parameters

  • Specifies requirements for transmitter power, spectrum masks, spurious emissions, and receiver sensitivity.
  • Defines bit error rate (BER) thresholds, receiver input levels, and electromagnetic compatibility (EMC).

• Installation and Environmental Conditions

  • Outlines categories for weather-protected and non-weather-protected installations based on ETS standards.
  • Provides power supply requirements compatible with common telecom environments.

• Baseband and Interface Requirements

  • Compatibility with Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) interfaces and analog interfaces.
  • Reference to relevant ITU-T recommendations for physical and electrical characteristics.

Applications

This standard is vital for organizations and manufacturers involved in:

• Wireless Backhaul for Telecommunication Networks

  • Supports stable point-to-point links for base station connections and aggregation of remote network nodes.

• Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) Extension

  • Ideal for extending ISDN services in local and regional areas, including customer connections.

• Mobile Base Station Interconnectivity

  • Provides robust, low-latency links for mobile operators, enabling reliable cellular coverage and capacity expansion.

• Telemetry and Telecontrol Systems

  • Suitable for industrial, transportable, or offshore applications needing dependable long-distance wireless communication.

• Digital Broadcast Services

  • Facilitates cost-effective digital TV and media distribution through fixed wireless point-to-point links.

By adhering to SIST ETS 300 633 E1:2003, operators ensure system interoperability, regulatory compliance, and optimal use of allocated spectrum in the 2.1-2.6 GHz band.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) specifies the minimum performance parameters for
terrestrial low and medium capacity Point-to-Point (P-P) digital fixed service radio relay equipment
operating in the range 2,1 to 2,6 GHz. The requirements and limits given in this ETS are relevant to all
environmental conditions for the chosen climatic class. Test methods are under study.
Digital systems are intended to be used for P-P connections in local and regional networks at data rates of
N × 64 kbit/s, N × 2 Mbit/s (N = 1, 2, 4, 8, 16), 2 × 8 Mbit/s and 34 Mbit/s. Other data rates may also be
foreseen. Typical applications include:
a) customer connections;
b) Integrated Services Digital Network (ISDN) extension;
c) mobile base station connections;
d) telemetry and telecontrol, including transportable and off-shore use;
e) digital TV application.
The parameters to be specified fall into two categories:
a) Those that are required to provide compatibility between channels from different sources of
equipment on the same route, connected either to:
- separate antennas; or
- separate polarizations of the same antenna.
b) Parameters defining the transmission quality of the proposed system.
This ETS deals with Intermediate Frequency (IF), Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband characteristics
relevant to low and medium capacity Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) transmission.
Antenna/feeder system requirements are covered in EN 300 631 [12].
Due to the wide spread of applications and corresponding system rates, parameters such as RF spectrum
masks and receiver sensitivity are related to standardized channel spacings rather than to minimum
system rates. This allows individual countries to allocate a bandwidth and therefore a standard channel
spacing in accordance with the foreseen services and their own frequency management and radio
network planning.
As the maximum bit rate in a given bandwidth depends on the system spectral efficiency, different
equipment classes are defined:
Class 1: equipment performance based on typically 2-states modulation scheme (e.g.
2-FSK (Frequency-Shift Keying), Gaussian Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) with
discriminator detection, or equivalent);
Class 2: equipment performances based on typically 4-states modulation scheme (e.g.
4-FSK, 4 - QAM (Quadrature Amplitude Modulation), or equivalent);
Class 3: equipment performances based on typically 16-states modulation scheme (e.g.
16-QAM, or equivalent).
Safety aspects are outside the mandate of ETSI and they will not be considered in this ETS.
