| 2 | Application | Point-to-Point | CCDP (Co-Channel Dual Polarization) ACCP (Adjacent Channel Co-Polarization) |
| 3 | Frequency band | A: 17.700 - 18.700 GHz B: 18.700 - 19.700 GHz | Assignments will be made in the frequency band segments: A3: 18.208750 - 18.676250 GHz B3: 19.218750 - 19.686250 GHz. |
| 4 | Channelling | 13.75 / 27.50 / 55 MHz. | Channel centre frequencies according to CEPT/ERC/REC 12-03, Annex A (27.50 MHz channelling), Subdivision of 27.50 MHz channels for 13.75 MHz channelling. The 13.75 / 55 MHz channelling may be used in particularly justified cases only. |
| 5 | Modulation / Occupied bandwidth | Class: 5HB and 6LB (128-QAM and 256-QAM or equivalent). ACM is allowed. OBW: 13.75 / 27.50 / 55 MHz. | Definition of spectral efficiency classes: refer to EN 302 217-2, clause 4.1.1.3. Adaptive Coded Modulation (ACM) is possible. OBW with Class 5HB (128-QAM or equivalent): 13.75 MHz / 27.50 MHz with or without ACM. 55 MHz in particularly justified cases with ACM. OBW with Class 6LB (256-QAM or equivalent): 27.50 MHz without ACM. |
| 6 | Direction / Separation | 1010 MHz | FDD |
| 7 | Transmit power / Power density | Max. 46 dBW e.i.r.p.. | The operational e.i.r.p. will be specified in the license / individual assignment. |

| 11 | Frequency planning assumptions | EN 302 217-2. Nominal RX input level = - 50 dBm. ATPC control range = min. 12 dB to max. 20 dB. | Conditions for the nominal RX input level: - Receiver input, point A in the system block diagram (EN 302 217-1), - RX input level tolerance: +1 to -10 dB, - ATPC set to min. TX output power in clear sky conditions (i.e. without rain fading). ===== ATPC power increases shall be triggered on the basis of propagation effects only. The ATPC system shall not remain at max. available power (EN 302 217-1, clause 3.1) for more than 15 consecutive minutes (ITU-R Rec. F.750). ===== Remote Transmit Power Control (RTPC) is considered to be an optional feature. ===== At first CCDP has to be used and then ACCP. ===== Limits of transmitter power spectral density: Refer to EN 302 217-2, clause 4.2.3.2, Figure 7. ===== Allowed Reference Modes for ACM: - 13.75 / 27.50 / 55 MHz channelling with 128-QAM modulation. ===== Min. link distance = 3 km. Site sharing radius = 400 m. ===== Class 3 antenna. Min. antenna gain = 36 dBi. Linear (horizontal or vertical) polarization. Antenna radiation pattern envelope (RPE) according to EN 302 217-4, Figure 17. OFCOM may impose tighter requirements than the minimum values given in EN 302 217-4 in order to maximize the use of the scarce spectrum resources (Class 4 antenna). |
