1 Scope
The present document specifies the minimum performance requirements for terrestrial fixed service
radiocommunications equipment operating in the 58 GHz frequency band which do not require co-ordinated frequency
planning.
The frequency band is proposed to be used by various technologies for uncoordinated use of the band. It also benefits
from the high and stable atmospheric attenuation which suppresses efficiently distant interferers (about 10 to 15 dB/km
at sea level, refer to ITU-R Recommendation P.676 [16]).
For the purposes of the present document two equipment Classes are specified depending on the network requirements:
- Class A: Digital equipment for High Density Fixed Service (HDFS) applications typically connected to public
networks, which apply the RF-channel selection procedure (see subclause 4.1.3), error performance and
availability requirements (see subclause 5.2).
- Class B: Equipment without requirements for quality of service, typically private network connections.
Typical applications for Class A equipment are e.g. interconnection between cellular networks where there, in some
cases, is a need for short length connections (up to about 500 meters). The RF channel selection procedure shall be used
to protect existing systems from a new system being commissioned. However, the channel selection procedure may not
guarantee interference free installation or operation in all cases due to limitations in the procedure with respect to the
variety of systems.
Typical applications for Class B equipment are in private networks, such as video surveillance systems.
The present document does not contain aspects related to test procedures and test conditions, however they are to be
found in EN 301 126-1 [6].
Safety aspects are outside the mandate of ETSI and they will not be considered in the present document. However
compliance to CENELEC EN 60950 [17] will be required to comply with 99/5/EC [18] Directive (R&TTE).
Technical background for the parameters and requirements referred in the present document may be found in
TR 101 036-1 [15].

4 General characteristics
4.1 Frequency bands and channel arrangements
4.1.1 Frequency band
The frequency band is from 57 GHz to 59 GHz.
NOTE: The successful co-existence of Class A and Class B equipment may require the regulator to define
exclusive spectrum for each equipment Class (see annex A).
4.1.2 Radio Channel Arrangements
The channel arrangements are specified in CEPT/ERC Recommendation 12-09 [5] with 50 MHz or 100 MHz channel
rasters. For reader convenience, the basic parameters of the CEPT Recommendation are shown in informative annex A.
4.1.3 RF-channel Selection
RF-channel selection procedure is mandatory for Class A equipment only.
4.1.3.1 RF-channel selection procedure
The purpose of the RF-channel selection procedure is to detect and protect existing transmissions in order to avoid
unacceptable interference situations.
At both transmission sites, radio-relay terminals shall measure during installation, the interference levels of both receive
and transmit channels (Note). Only in the instance when an unoccupied channel is identified and selected as the
transmission channel shall the transmit power be switched on. The interference avoidance requirements for the receiver
to detect occupied channels are specified in subclause 4.1.3.2 below.

The principle of protecting existing transmission shall be respected also during the antenna alignment (see annex A for
examples of possible antenna alignment procedures)
NOTE: If the national regulatory rules allowes to change the frequency of the link during its operation, it may be
considered, in order to decrease the possibility of undetected interference, to apply the RF channel
selection procedure whenever appropriate (e.g. when restoring a link after a failure or by suitable
automatic timed routine in conjunction with frequency agility as in subclause 4.1.3.3).
4.1.3.2 Interference avoidance requirements
4.1.3.2.1 Interference avoidance limit
The radio relay terminal shall consider the radio channel occupied when the level of the interference is above the
following limit:
- Pi> -81dBm+10log(BW/10 MHz).
Where:
- BW is the noise bandwidth of the receiver expressed in MHz.
- Pi is the interference power expressed in dBm measured within the receiver noise bandwidth (BW).
For the rationale of the interference limit formula see informative annex D.
4.1.3.2.2 Interference avoidance limit calibration
The interference avoidance limit of the radio relay terminal shall be calibrated with the CW test signal connected to the
reference point D (antenna port) of the terminal at any frequency within the receiver noise bandwidth or at any
frequency within the transmitter spectrum limits, containing 90% of the transmit power.
4.1.3.3 Frequency agility
Frequency agility is an optional feature.
If unacceptable interference which exceeds a predetermined duration is observed an automatic change of RF-channel
can be initiated using the RF-channel selection procedure described above. If an automatic RF-channel change facility
is implemented a means shall be provided to disable it. Unacceptable interference criteria shall be declared by the
manufacturer (see informative annex D, clause D.3).
4.1.4 Transmit/receive frequency separation
No specific requirements for Tx/Rx –separation.
4.2 Environmental Conditions
The equipment shall be required to meet the environmental conditions set out in ETS 300 019 [3], which defines
weather protected and outdoor environmental Classes and test severities. The manufacturer shall state which Class the
equipment is designed to withstand.
4.2.1 Equipment within weather protected locations (indoor locations)
Equipment intended for operation within temperature controlled locations or partially temperature-controlled locations
shall meet the requirements of ETS 300 019 [3] Classes 3.1 and 3.2 respectively.
Optionally, the more stringent requirements of ETS 300 019 [3] Classes 3.3 (non-temperature-controlled locations), 3.4
(sites with heat trap) and 3.5 (sheltered locations) may be applied.

4.2.2 Equipment for non-weather protected locations (outdoor locations)
Equipment intended for operation within non-weather protected locations shall meet the requirements of
ETS 300 019 [3], Class 4.1 or 4.1E.
Class 4.1 applies to many European countries and Class 4.1E applies to all European countries.
4.3 Electromagnetic Compatibility
Equipment shall operate under the conditions specified in ETS 300 385 [4].
4.4 Baseband Interface
When standard interfaces are provided they shall comply with ITU-T standards recognized by ETSI.
In some applications of these radio relay systems, interface parts may be integrated with other systems and therefore
standard interfaces are not required under these circumstances. The manufacturer shall declare whether a standard
interface is provided or not.
For conformance testing of Class A equipment, a baseband interface at points Z, Z' of the block diagram in figure 1
which complies to one of the ETSI recognized standard interfaces (e.g. ITU-T Recommendation G.703 [8]) shall be
made available.

4.6 Antennas and RF-interface
4.6.1 Antenna Requirements
Requirements for the co-polar antenna radiation pattern envelope are given figure 7a) (Range 6, Class 1) in
EN 300 833 [13]. However, cross-polar radiation pattern requirements are not relevant for the systems using this
frequency band.
4.6.2 RF interface
An adaptor from point D or D´ to IEC standard flange shall be made available by the manufacturer for transmit power,
RF-spectrum and spurious emission measurements.
4.7 Power supply
The equipment shall operate from any of the primary supplies within the ranges specified in ETS 300 132-1 [1] and
ETS 300 132-2 [2].
NOTE: Some applications may require voltages that are not covered by ETS 300 132-1 [1] and
ETS 300 132-2 [2] (e.g. 12 V and / or 24 V).
5 Parameters for digital systems
5.1 Transmission capacity
The manufacturer shall declare the transmission capacities and the channel spacing used. With all transmission
capacities the relevant spectrum mask shall be conformed to.
5.2 Error-performance and availability requirements for Class A
equipment
Class A equipment shall be designed in order to meet network error-performance and availability requirements foreseen
by ITU-T Recommendation G.826 [11], following the criteria defined in ITU-R Recommendations F.1189 [12],
F.697 [14] and F.ANPER [7] for the short haul or the access part of the national portion of the digital connection
The interference limit specified in subclause 4.1.3.2, rather than the actual threshold of the equipment, should be
considered, when planning the hop length for the required fade margin due to propagation effects.
It should be noted that the specified channel selection procedure (see subclause 4.1.3) can help to avoid interference
situations between Class A equipment but cannot guarantee interference–free operation in all situations (see note).
The frequency agility, described in subclause 4.1.3.3, may be a useful function in interference avoidance e.g. between
systems using different duplexing methods or between Class A and Class B –systems.
NOTE: Interference power level in existing network receivers can be in the worst case:
-71dBm –Ptx (dBm) + 10 log(BW/10MHz).
where:
- Ptx is the mean transmit power of the radio relay at the reference point D´ given in the figure 1;
- BW is the noise bandwidth of the receiver.
The interference value calculated from the equation simulates the interference effect of a continuous s
