ÖNORM EN 302217-3 V 1.1.3

The present document specifies the essential requirements for Digital Fixed Radio Systems (DFRS) operating in frequency bands, which do not require co-ordinated frequency planning. It is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) 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 EN 302 217-2-2 (see bibliography) and EN 302 217-4-2 [8] will replace and supersede, after a suitable transition period, the harmonized EN 301 751 (see bibliography) for all P-P equipment and antennas. Those parts of this multipart EN introduces, for systems (equipment and antennas) already covered by EN 301 751 (see bibliography), equal, technically equivalent or less stringent requirements. Therefore, from a strictly technical point of view, it is expected that equipment already conforming to the previous EN 301 751 (see bibliography), would not need a new test report for re-assessment of essential requirements according this new multipart EN; however, legal implications with respect to the declaration of conformity and equipment labelling are not in the scope of the present document. 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 R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org. In order to technically cover different market and network requirements, with an appropriate balance of performance to cost and effective and appropriate use of the radio spectrum, the present document, together with EN 302 217-4-2 [8], offers system types and antennas alternatives, (...abbreviated)
