Overview

SIST ETS 300 197/A2 E1:2000 is a standard published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), aligned with ETSI standards, covering transmission and multiplexing (TM) parameters for radio relay systems. These systems support the transmission of digital signals and analogue video signals over the 38 GHz frequency range. This amendment updates the original ETS 300 197 standard to assist its harmonization under the EMC Directive 89/336/EEC and facilitate its inclusion in national regulations across Europe.

The document ensures consistent technical criteria for manufacturers, network operators, and regulatory authorities deploying high-frequency radio relay technology, supporting seamless operation and regulatory approval across European countries.

Key Topics

• Radio Relay Systems at 38 GHz: Parameters for systems operating in the 37 to 39.5 GHz band, essential for high-capacity digital and analogue video transmission.
• Transmission and Multiplexing Parameters: Specifications for channel capacity, modulation, transmitter and receiver characteristics, including spurious emissions and spectrum masks for both digital and analogue systems.
• Compliance with EMC Directive: Lists the technical requirements relevant to the European EMC Directive, ensuring proper electromagnetic compatibility.
• Harmonization: Supports a unified regulatory approach across Europe, enabling equipment approval and free movement within EU and CEPT countries.
• National Adoption: Allows for national variations in channel spacings and environmental specifications to suit specific country requirements, while maintaining a harmonized core standard.

Applications

SIST ETS 300 197/A2 E1:2000 is highly relevant for organizations involved with:

• Telecommunications Operators: Enables deployment of reliable point-to-point radio links, facilitating broadband data and video transfer in urban, suburban, and rural environments.
• Network Equipment Manufacturers: Provides clear requirements to design and test radio relay equipment compatible with harmonized European regulations.
• System Integrators: Supports multi-vendor interoperability by establishing standardized performance and interface parameters.
• National Regulators and Licensing Bodies: Offers a consistent framework for approving equipment, supporting spectrum management and minimizing cross-border interference.
• Broadcasters and Content Providers: Ensures that high-quality analogue video and high-capacity digital signals can be transmitted over microwave backbone links with minimal risk of signal degradation or regulatory conflict.

Related Standards

• ETS 300 197 (Original Edition): The foundational standard for radio relay systems, upon which this amendment is based.
• ETS 300 385: Provides complementary parameters and requirements, and together with ETS 300 197 forms the basis for harmonization.
• Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive): European directive on electromagnetic compatibility, referenced for compliance.
• CEPT Recommendation T/R 12-01: Basis for technical recommendations reflected in this standard.
• ERC/DEC/(96)08: CEPT Decision supporting the adoption of ETS 300 197 parameters into national approval schemes for radio systems in the 37-39.5 GHz range.

---

By adopting SIST ETS 300 197/A2 E1:2000, stakeholders benefit from enhanced interoperability, simplified equipment approval, and reliable deployment of high-frequency radio relay systems, supporting Europe's digital infrastructure and broadcast distribution networks. This harmonized standard is central to the future-proof expansion of high-capacity wireless communication solutions across the continent.

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 regulations based on the European Telecommunications Standards
(ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)08) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 197 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 300 197 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 12-01.
The use of the frequency range (37 to 39.5 GHz ) covered by ETS 300 197 is not harmonised within CEPT.
Administrations have adopted different arrangements, to meet national requirements, for channel separations (3.5, 7,
14, 28, 56 and 140 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
