Overview

SIST ETS 300 630 E1:2003 is a European standard focused on the transmission and multiplexing of digital radio relay systems (DRRS), specifically for low capacity point-to-point systems operating in the 1.4 GHz frequency band. Developed by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST) and based on ETSI guidance, this standard ensures interoperability, quality, and reliable performance of terrestrial digital fixed service communication systems with bit rates up to 4 x 2/8 Mbit/s.

Intended for long or partially obstructed radio paths, these systems are deployed in local and regional networks, addressing key communication needs such as customer connectivity, ISDN extensions, base station links, and telecontrol operations within the frequency bands around 1.5 GHz.

Key Topics

• Frequency Bands and Channel Arrangements

  • Covers operation in 1,350-1,375 MHz paired with 1,492-1,517 MHz and 1,375-1,400 MHz paired with 1,427-1,452 MHz, as per CEPT T/R 13-01.
  • Defines a 0.5 MHz homogeneous channel plan, supporting channel spacings from 25 kHz up to 3.5 MHz.

• Performance and Compatibility

  • Specifies minimum performance metrics (BER, power levels, spurious emissions, receiver sensitivity).
  • Ensures compatibility between equipment from different sources within the same system route using standardized interfaces and frequency/channel arrangements.

• Environmental and EMC Requirements

  • Mandates compliance with ETS 300 019 for environmental robustness (weather protected and non-weather protected installations).
  • Stipulates electromagnetic compatibility per ETS 300 385 for systems at >2 Mbit/s data rates.

• Baseband and RF Interface

  • Details standard ITU-T and CCITT physical interfaces for digital and analog signal transmission.
  • Specifies 50 Ω coaxial RF connectors and standardized measurement points for system validation.

• Classes of Equipment

  • Defines three equipment classes based on modulation scheme: 2-level (FSK/GMSK), 4-level (4-FSK, 4-QAM), and 16-level (16-QAM).

Applications

Digital radio relay systems standardized by SIST ETS 300 630 E1:2003 are crucial in:

• Telecommunications Infrastructure

  • Providing low-capacity links for extending fixed networks, particularly in areas where cable installation is impractical.

• Mobile Networks

  • Interconnecting mobile base stations and supporting ISDN/leased line services in rural or hard-to-reach sites.

• Telemetry and SCADA

  • Facilitating industrial control and monitoring applications, including utility network management, pipeline monitoring, and off-shore communications.

• Disaster Recovery and Temporary Links

  • Enabling rapid deployment of communication links in emergencies or for temporary network expansion.

Organizations benefit from robust, standardized, and interoperable solutions, allowing for vendor diversity and streamlined network planning.

Page 7ETS 300 630: March 19971ScopeThis ETS specifies the minimum performance parameters for terrestrial digital fixed service radiocommunications equipment operating in the 1,4 GHz frequency bands. The requirements and limits givenin this ETS are relevant to all environmental conditions for the chosen climatic class. The test methods tobe used are currently under study in ETSI STC TM4.Digital systems are intended to be used for point-to-point connections in local and regional networks atdata rates between 9,6 kbit/s and 4x2 Mbit/s. Other data rates may also be foreseen. Typical applicationsinclude: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.CCIR high, medium and local grade performance objectives, i.e. CCIR Recommendations F.634 [14],F.696 [4], F.697 [5], CCITT Recommendation G.821 [7] and the forthcoming performance objectivesdetailed in ITU-T Recommendation G.826 [8] should be realizable using systems considered in this ETS.The parameters to be specified fall into two categories:a)Those that are required to provide compatibility between channels from different sources ofequipment on the same route, connected either to:-separate antennas; or to-separate polarizations of the same antenna.b)Parameters defining the transmission quality of the proposed system.The ETS deals with Intermediate Frequency (IF), Radio Frequency (RF) and baseband characteristicsrelevant to low capacity Plesiochronous Digital Hierarchy (PDH) transmission. Antenna/feeder systemrequirements are covered in EN 300 631 [12].Due to the wide spread of applications and corresponding system rates, parameters such as RF spectrummasks and receiver sensitivity are related to standardized channel spacings rather than to minimumsystem rates. This allows individual countries to allocate a bandwidth and therefore a standard channelspacing in accordance with the foreseen services and their own frequency management and radionetwork planning.As the maximum bit rate in a given bandwidth depends on the system spectral efficiency, differentequipment classes are defined:Class 1:equipment based on a minimum of 2-level modulation scheme (e.g. 2-FSK,GMSK with discriminator detection, or equivalent);Class 2:equipment based on a minimum 4-level modulation scheme (e.g. 4-FSK,4-QAM, or equivalent);Class 3:equipment based on a minimum 16-level modulation scheme (e.g. 16-QAM, orequivalent).Safety aspects are outside the mandate of ETSI and they will not be considered in this ETS.SIST ETS 300 630 E1:2003
