ÖNORM EN 302217-2-2 V 1.1.3

The present document specifies the essential requirements for Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in frequency bands, which require co-ordinated frequency planning. It is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive [1] regarding article 3.2, which states that radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference. The present document with other parts EN 302 217-3 (see bibliography) and EN 302 217-4-2 [7] will replace and supersede, after a suitable transition period, the harmonized EN 301 751 (see bibliography) for all P-P equipment and antennas. This EN 302 217 series introduces, for systems (equipment and antennas) already covered by EN 301 751 (see bibliography), only technically equivalent or less stringent requirements (see note 1). Care has been taken so that such variations will not affect any frequency planning assumption for already deployed networks. Therefore, from a strictly technical point of view, it is expected that equipment already conforming to EN 301 751(see bibliography), would not need a new test report for re-assessment of essential requirements according this EN 302 217-2-2 (see note 1). However, legal implications with respect to declaration of conformity and equipment labelling are outside the scope of the present document. NOTE 1: The only exception is with respect to class 5A equipments for system D.7 (see annex D) and for systems E.1, E.2 and E.3 (see annex E) for which a previous design objective has here been transformed into a more stringent RSL versus BER. In this case a supplementary test report might be required (e.g. in case the technical construction file, made for declaration of conformity to EN 301 751 (see bibliography), does not give evidence of enough margin to fulfil the requirements of the present do (...abbreviated)
