ETSI EN 301 126-3-2

The present document details standardized procedures for conformance testing of antennas for Point-to-MultiPoint radiorelay systems [1], [2] and [3] in order to achieve the approval by the Type Approval Authority.

The procedure for dealing with established products is outside the scope of the present document.

The present document is intended to be applied in conjunction with the individual antenna standards and will enablecommonality in the presentation of test results, irrespective of the Suppliers/accredited laboratory carrying out the test.

The conformance tests described in the present document are related to antenna specific parameters required directly bythe relevant antenna standards [1], [2] and [3].

The present document applies to both those antennas that are separate and those that are in some manner partially orfully integrated with the outdoor equipment. In all cases, whilst facilitating access to the appropriate antenna port,testing shall preserve the electro-magnetic environment i.e. be representative of the outdoor unit enclosure / electronicsused in the typical (manufacturers’ recommended) configuration. This need to maintain consistency with themanufacturer’s recommended configuration is particularly important for less directional antennas (commonly with lessthan 25 dBi gain, although this value will depend on the specific ETS/EN parameters for that class, type etc).

It is noted that antennas intended for Point-to-Point (P-P) use are similarly the subjects of separate standards coveringtheir characteristics and conformance testing [5], [6] and [7]. In some cases, particularly for the higher gains andfrequencies, such P-P antennas may be appropriate for P-MP usage at the discretion of the regulatory authority. In suchcases the regulatory authority will also define the applicable antenna and conformance-testing standard.
