ETSI EN 301 215-2

The present document specifies the essential electrical requirements for linear polarization, fixed beam antennas to be utilized with new Point-to-Multipoint (P-MP) systems EN 301 213-1 [1], including central station and terminal station applications, operating in frequency bands from 11 GHz to 60 GHz. These systems use various multiple access schemes. Electronically steerable antennas, and circularly polarized antennas are not considered in the present document.

The present document, taken together with EN 301 215-1 [1], specifies the requirements for systems operating in the frequency range 24 GHz to 30 GHz.

A regulatory authority may impose tighter requirements that the minimum values given in the present document, in order to maximize the use of the scarce spectrum resources.

For some high gain, point-to-multipoint requirements, antennas may be used having performance as per the appropriate point-to-point antenna standard. For these antennas, minimum requirements are given in EN 300 833 [2].
