ÖNORM EN 302217-4-2 V 1.2.1

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC (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 EN 302 217-2-2 (see bibliography) and EN 302 217-3 (see bibliography) intend to replace and supersede, after a suitable transition period, the harmonized EN 301 751 (see bibliography) for all P-P equipment and antennas. It is applicable only to antenna types that are intended for use with the systems falling within the scope of documents EN 302 217-2-2 (see bibliography) and EN 302 217-3 (see bibliography). Those documents 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 antennas, covered in the present document and 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 EN 302 217 series (see notes); however, legal implications with respect to the declaration of conformity have not been considered, not being in the scope of the present document. NOTE 1: Few antenna types of the lower classes, covered by EN 301 751, based on EN 300 631 and EN 300 833 (see these references in the bibliography), have not been carried over into the present document because no longer considered appropriate, from the system point of view, with the increasing demand of spectrum in ETSI Countries, and therefore no more suitable for essential requirements under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive [1] within the European Union. Nevertheless, recognizing that ETSI ENs have worldwide relevance, they are sti (...abbreviated)
