IEC 60794-1-403:2021 specifies a method of verifying that cable metallic elements are electrically continuous throughout the cable. Electrical continuity is important for bonding and grounding, toning for location, and other related system issues, and may represent a "goodness of manufacture" criterion. Typically, the test is one of continuity and carries no resistance or conductivity requirement. The metallic elements can be tested individually or can be tested as a total group. Since this latter criterion is frequently the case, all elements are measured as a group unless specified otherwise. NOTE It is possible detail specifications allow such elements as strength members to be non-continuous throughout the cable. This is a special case, and attention is directed to the detail specification.

This part of IEC 60794 defines test procedures to measure the shrinkage of the sheath due to
thermal exposure of cables.
A first test method, F11A, is included for cables where the fibre or buffered fibre and the sheath
of the cable are intended to be fully terminated into a connector at one or both cable ends.

This part of IEC 61300 describes a procedure for determining the suitability of a fibre optic
interconnecting device or a passive component to withstand exposure to the optical power which
occurs during its operation.

This part of IEC 60793 establishes uniform requirements for the mechanical characteristic: fibre
curl or latent curvature in uncoated optical fibres, i.e. a specified length of the fibre has been
stripped from coating. Fibre curl has been identified as an important parameter for minimizing
the splice loss of optical fibres when using passive alignment fusion splicers or active alignment
mass fusion splicers.
Two methods are recognized for the measurement of fibre curl, in uncoated optical fibres:
• method A: side view microscopy;
• method B: laser beam scattering.
Both methods measure the radius of curvature of an uncoated fibre by determining the amount
of deflection that occurs as an unsupported fibre end is rotated about the fibre's axis. Method A
uses visual or digital video methods to determine the deflection of the fibre while method B uses
a line sensor to measure the maximum deflection of one laser beam relative to a reference laser
beam.
By measuring the deflection behaviour of the fibre as it is rotated about its axis and
understanding the geometry of the measuring device, the fibre's radius of curvature can be
calculated from simple circular models, the derivation of which are given in Annex C.
Both methods are applicable to type B optical fibres as described in IEC 60793 (all parts).
Method A is the reference test method, used to resolve disputes.

The present document summarizes the available information of possible measurement techniques and procedures for the
conformance measurement of various signal formats (e.g. Ultra Wide Band) in order to comply with the given
transmission limits given in the current regulation.
The present document could be used as a reference for existing and future ETSI standards covering UWB and other
technologies.

The present document provides measurement procedures for receiver requirements to address the spectrum efficiency
requirements of the RED [i.10].
The baseline receiver concept is a set of two parameters given in clause 5 of the present document providing guidance
for HS development, which can be further refined by the responsible TB.
Baseline receiver concept comprises the following parameters:
• Receiver Baseline Sensitivity (RBS); and
• Receiver Baseline Resilience (RBR).
The Baseline receiver concept is a further development of the signal interferer handling concept, see ETSI
TS 103 361 [i.4].

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for ground based monostatic
ATC primary surveillance radars with the following characteristics:
• operating in the 2 700 MHz to 3 100 MHz frequency range;

• the transceiver-antenna connection uses a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide of type WR284/WG10/R32
according to IEC 60153-2 [i.6] with a minimum length between the output of the power amplifier and the
input to the antenna of 2,886 m (20 times the wavelength of the waveguide cut-off frequency);
• the antenna rotates, is waveguide-based and passive;
• the transceiver output uses a RF circulator.
NOTE 1: Phased array ATC primary surveillance radars are not covered by the present document.

2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

The present document covers requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference. The present document applies to satellite
communications Earth Stations (ES) with the following characteristics:
• The ES is designed for stationary operation.
• The ES is operating as part of a satellite network (e.g. star, mesh or point to point) used for the distribution
and/or exchange of information.
• The transmit and receive frequencies are shown in table 1.
The ES transmits within the frequency range from 27,5 GHz to 29,1 GHz and 29,5 GHz to 30,0 GHz, which is
a band allocated to the Fixed Satellite Services (FSS) (Earth-to-space) among other services. National
regulations will specify the bands available for the operation of the ES. Such regulations may designate some
parts of the frequency range 27,5 GHz to 29,1 GHz to terrestrial services such as the Fixed Service. However,
the operation of the ES may be permitted under national regulations in the 29,50 GHz to 30,00 GHz band since
this band is allocated on a primary basis to the Fixed Satellite Service.
• The ES receives in one or more frequencies within the range from 17,30 GHz to 20,20 GHz (FSS).
• The ES uses linear or circular polarization.
• The ES operates through non-geostationary satellites.
• The ES is designed for unattended operation.
• The ES is controlled and monitored by a Network Control Facility (NCF). This function may be performed
centrally (e.g. for a network of ESs with a central hub) or it could be performed within the ES for autonomous
control. The NCF is outside the scope of the present document.
• The ES operating in the 27,5 GHz to 28,6 GHz and 29,5 GHz to 30 GHz bands: epfd limits given in article 22
of the ITU Radio Regulations [i.5] apply for the ESs operating with the NGSO system for the protection of the
GSO networks (see No. 22.5D of the ITU RR [i.5]).
• ES operating in the 28,6 GHz to 29,1 GHz band: No. 9.11A of the ITU RR [i.5] applies to the NGSO network
of the ES, meaning that the NGSO will be required to coordinate with earlier filed GSO networks or NGSO
systems (See No. 5.523A of the ITU RR [i.5]).
• The ES has one or more directive antennas that track satellites.
The present document applies to the ES with its ancillary equipment and its various telecommunication ports, and when
operated within the boundary limits of the operational environmental profile as declared by the manufacturer and when
installed as required by the manufacturer's declaration or in the user documentation.
NOTE 1: Operational requirements are defined by national administrations and by relevant ECC Decisions.
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
NOTE 3: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurement for Analogue and Digital Fixed
Radio Links operating as fixed Point-to-Point, and Point-to-Multipoint systems as defined in table 1, including the
associated ancillary equipment, in respect of electromagnetic compatibility.
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of the radio equipment are not included in the present document.
Such technical specifications are found in the relevant product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum, see
table 1.processing and protection switch, (de)modulator, transmitter, receiver, RF filters, branching networks and feeders
are covered by the present document. The multiplexing and/or de-multiplexing elements are covered if they form part of
the transmitter, receiver and/or transceiver.
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.1(b) of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

IEC 63138-2:2020, which is a sectional specification (SS), provides information and rules for the preparation of detail specifications (DS) for MQ4 series circular connectors with four RF channels, as well as a detailed specification of the blank format. An MQ4 series circular connector with 50 Ω nominal impedance has four RF channels which can be engaged and disengaged at the same time. There are two versions of plug connectors, one is a quick-lock version, and the other is a threaded version. The socket connector provides two coupling mechanisms, a quick-lock and a threaded coupling.
This document also specifies the mating face dimensions and gauging information of MQ4 series circular connectors, and tests selected from IEC 63138-1, applicable to all detail specifications relating to MQ4 series circular connectors.

IEC 61300-3-30:2020 is available as IEC 61300-3-30:2020 RLV which contains the International Standard and its Redline version, showing all changes of the technical content compared to the previous edition.IEC 61300-3-30:2020 describes a method of measuring the end face geometry of rectangular multifibre ferrules having an IEC defined optical interface. The primary attributes are fibre position relative to the end face, either withdrawal or protrusion, end face angle relative to the guide pin bores, fibre tip radii and core dip for multimode fibres. This second edition cancels and replaces the first edition published in 2003. This edition constitutes a technical revision.This edition includes the following significant technical changes with respect to the previous edition: - measurement of the individual fibre tip radii; - introduction of the geometry limit (GL) metric; - introduction of the minus coplanarity metric; - new method for measuring the core dips; - all measurement regions are now identical for MM and SM fibres; - the ferrule surface angle sign convention has been changed.

This part of IEC 61300 defines the encircled angular flux measurement of multimode waveguide light sources, in which most of the transverse modes are excited. The term "waveguide" is understood to include both channel waveguides and optical fibres but not slab waveguides. The applicable fibre types are the followings: - A1 specified in IEC 60793-2-10; - A3 specified in IEC 60793-2-30; - A4 specified in IEC 60793-2-40.

IEC 63185:2020 relates to a measurement method for complex permittivity of a dielectric substrates at microwave and millimeter-wave frequencies. This method has been developed to evaluate the dielectric properties of low-loss materials used in microwave and millimeter-wave circuits and devices. It uses higher-order modes of a balanced-type circular disk resonator and provides broadband measurements of dielectric substrates by using one resonator, where the effect of excitation holes is taken into account accurately on the basis of the mode-matching analysis.
