Overview

SIST ETS 300 632 E1:2003 is a Slovenian standard, harmonized with the European ETS 300 632 standard, which defines the technical requirements for fixed radio link equipment used for transmitting analogue video signals in the frequency range 24.25 GHz to 29.50 GHz. Published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST), this standard ensures the consistent performance, compatibility, and interoperability of point-to-point (P-P) and point-to-multipoint (P-MP) radio relay systems operating in these high-frequency bands. The document covers minimum performance parameters for analogue video transmission, targeting broadcast, distribution, and surveillance applications.

Key Topics

• Frequency Range & Channel Arrangements: The equipment operates in the 24.25 GHz to 29.50 GHz band, with channel plans and arrangements aligned with CEPT and ITU-R recommendations for optimal use and minimal interference.
• Transmission Applications: Designed for reliable transmission of analogue video, including television (both contribution and distribution quality), surveillance feeds, and radar remoting.
• System Types: Supports both point-to-point (P-P) and point-to-multipoint (P-MP) architectures for flexible deployment scenarios.
• Environmental Suitability: Equipment is specified for both weather protected and non-weather protected installations, complying with environmental standards for diverse operating conditions across Europe.
• Antenna Requirements: Antenna types and their radiation patterns are defined based on application (high capacity, distribution, etc.), alongside cross-polar discrimination (XPD) values and waveguide flange compatibility per IEC 154.
• Power and Electromagnetic Compatibility: Stipulates power supply interface requirements and adherence to electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) standards for radio equipment.

Applications

Equipment conforming to SIST ETS 300 632 E1:2003 is used in several demanding telecommunications and media environments:

• Broadcasting: Facilitates high-quality analogue video signal transmission for TV contribution and distribution, supporting broadcasters in delivering content between studios, transmission sites, and distribution networks.
• Video Surveillance: Used for transporting surveillance video feeds over fixed wireless links, offering reliable, real-time monitoring in security-sensitive areas.
• Event Coverage: Supports temporary or permanent links for live events, where cable deployment is impractical or rapid setup is required.
• Radar Remoting: Enables remote radar installations to send processed analogue video signals to control centers without the need for extensive cabling.
• Rural and Urban Connectivity: Useful for extending video and broadcast services to remote, underserved, or difficult-to-cable locations.

Related Standards

For comprehensive compliance and optimal performance, systems referencing SIST ETS 300 632 E1:2003 should consider the following related standards:

• ETS 300 431: Covers digital fixed point-to-point radio link equipment in the same frequency range, suitable for deployments transitioning from analogue to digital transmission.
• CEPT Recommendation T/R 13-02: Defines preferred channel arrangements for fixed services in the 22.0 - 29.5 GHz band.
• ITU-R Recommendation F.748-1: Provides radio-frequency channel arrangements for radio-relay systems operating in the 25, 26, and 28 GHz bands.
• ETS 300 019: Specifies environmental conditions and tests for telecommunications equipment.
• ETS 300 339: Addresses electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) for fixed radio links.
• IEC 154: Focuses on waveguide flanges for consistent interconnection.
• ITU-T Recommendations J.61 and J.21: Outline video and audio interface requirements, ensuring interoperability across international connections.

By adhering to SIST ETS 300 632 E1:2003, manufacturers, network operators, and service providers can ensure reliable, interference-free transmission of analogue video in high-frequency bands, supporting modern broadcast and telecommunications infrastructure needs.
