1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for monostatic X-band radar
sensors intended for the surveillance of airspace traffic with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the frequency range 8 500 MHz to 10 000 MHz utilizing modulated pulses.
• The transceiver-antenna connection is using a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna is rotating, waveguide-based and passive.
• At the transceiver output an RF-circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since transceiver and antenna are hollow metallic rectangular waveguide based the frequency range for
measurements that needs to be addressed covers 6,56 GHz to 26 GHz. The lower limit of this frequency
range is obtained as cut-off frequency of the combination of WR112/R84 taper section and a WR90/R100
Waveguide IEC 60153-2 [i.3]. The upper limit corresponds to the upper limit stated in Table 1 of ERC
Recommendation 74-01 [2].
NOTE 2: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 3: Multi-static radars are not covered by the present document.
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
active state: produces the authorized emission
allocated band: frequency span that regionally or nationally is allocated to one or more radio services on a primary or
secondary basis
NOTE: A table of national frequency allocations are normally available from the radio authority for each national
state. Also a generic frequency allocation table is available in the ITU Radio Regulations [3].
declared band: band or bands within which the product under test is declared to operate in the applicable operating
modes
NOTE 1: Will often correspond to an allocated band nationally.
NOTE 2: The declared band for a given region or country is always contained within the allocated band.
idle/standby state: where the transmitter is available for traffic, but is not in the active state
Minimum Detectable Signal (MDS): measure of the lowest detectable signal amplitude for a given signal type for a
given radar
NOTE: For solid state radars a processing gain can be associated with a received signal. This processing gain has
the effect of lowering the MDS level in comparison to a MDS which is based only on noise temperature.
MDS in the present document is defined as including the processing gain for the chosen test signal.
necessary bandwidth: width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at
the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions for a given class of emission
NOTE: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
ETSI
9 ETSI EN 303 364-3 V1.1.1 (2019-07)
occupied bandwidth: width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the
mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage β/2 of the total mean power of a given emission
NOTE 1: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
NOTE 2: Unless otherwise specified in an Recommendation ITU-R for the appropriate class of emission, the value
of β/2 should be taken as 0,5 %.
operating mode: predefined configuration for a given service accessible to the operator of the radar system
NOTE 1: Several operating modes may be available.
NOTE 2: Changing operating mode might affect the radio characteristics of the radar system.
peak envelope power: average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio
frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions
NOTE: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
product configuration: hardware variant of the same typology of system under test (e.g. different power outputs,
magnetrons)
pulse duration: time between the 50 % amplitude (voltage) points
pulse rise time: time taken for the leading edge of the pulse to increase from 10 % to 90 % of the maximum amplitude
(voltage)

4.2.1.1.1 Definition
The transmitter of a pulsed radar produces microwave pulses, which cause a broad frequency spectrum, depending on
the pulse duration.
The frequency tolerance is the maximum permissible departure by the centre frequency of the frequency band occupied
by an emission from the assigned frequency or, by the characteristic frequency of an emission from the reference
frequency.
4.2.1.1.2 Limits
The frequency tolerance for radars shall not exceed 1 250 ppm as per appendix 2 of the ITU Radio Regulations [3].
4.2.1.1.3 Conformance
The conformance tests are specified in clause 5.3.1.1.
4.2.1.2 Measured B-40 Bandwidth
4.2.1.2.1 Definition
The measured -40 dB bandwidth (B ) is the measured bandwidth of the emission 40 dB below the measured PEP.
-40
4.2.1.2.2 Limits
The measured -40 dB bandwidth of the signal shall be contained completely within the declared band in all operating
modes.
In case of multiple carrier-frequencies, all measured -40 dB emissions shall be contained within the declared band.
NOTE: The declared band is always contained in the 8 500 MHz to 10 000 MHz frequency range.
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 303 364-3 V1.1.1 (2019-07)
4.2.1.2.3 Conformance
The conformance tests are specified in clause 5.3.1.3.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for monostatic X-band radar
sensors intended for the surveillance of airspace traffic with the following characteristics:
• Operating in the frequency range 8 500 MHz to 10 000 MHz utilizing modulated pulses.
• The transceiver-antenna connection is using a hollow metallic rectangular waveguide.
• The antenna is rotating, waveguide-based and passive.
• At the transceiver output an RF-circulator is used.
NOTE 1: Since transceiver and antenna are hollow metallic rectangular waveguide based the frequency range for
measurements that needs to be addressed covers 6,56 GHz to 26 GHz. The lower limit of this frequency
range is obtained as cut-off frequency of the combination of WR112/R84 taper section and a WR90/R100
Waveguide IEC 60153-2 [i.3]. The upper limit corresponds to the upper limit stated in Table 1 of ERC
Recommendation 74-01 [2].
NOTE 2: Since at the transceiver output an RF circulator is used, it is assumed that the transceiver characteristics
remain independent from the antenna.
NOTE 3: Multi-static radars are not covered by the present document.
NOTE 4: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A.

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms apply:
active state: produces the authorized emission
allocated band: frequency span that regionally or nationally is allocated to one or more radio services on a primary or
secondary basis
NOTE: A table of national frequency allocations are normally available from the radio authority for each national
state. Also a generic frequency allocation table is available in the ITU Radio Regulations [3].
declared band: band or bands within which the product under test is declared to operate in the applicable operating
modes
NOTE 1: Will often correspond to an allocated band nationally.
NOTE 2: The declared band for a given region or country is always contained within the allocated band.
idle/standby state: where the transmitter is available for traffic, but is not in the active state
Minimum Detectable Signal (MDS): measure of the lowest detectable signal amplitude for a given signal type for a
given radar
NOTE: For solid state radars a processing gain can be associated with a received signal. This processing gain has
the effect of lowering the MDS level in comparison to a MDS which is based only on noise temperature.
MDS in the present document is defined as including the processing gain for the chosen test signal.
necessary bandwidth: width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at
the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions for a given class of emission
NOTE: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
ETSI
9 ETSI EN 303 364-3 V1.1.1 (2019-07)
occupied bandwidth: width of a frequency band such that, below the lower and above the upper frequency limits, the
mean powers emitted are each equal to a specified percentage β/2 of the total mean power of a given emission
NOTE 1: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
NOTE 2: Unless otherwise specified in an Recommendation ITU-R for the appropriate class of emission, the value
of β/2 should be taken as 0,5 %.
operating mode: predefined configuration for a given service accessible to the operator of the radar system
NOTE 1: Several operating modes may be available.
NOTE 2: Changing operating mode might affect the radio characteristics of the radar system.
peak envelope power: average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one radio
frequency cycle at the crest of the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions
NOTE: This definition is taken from ITU Radio Regulations [3].
product configuration: hardware variant of the same typology of system under test (e.g. different power outputs,
magnetrons)
pulse duration: time between the 50 % amplitude (voltage) points
pulse rise time: time taken for the leading edge of the pulse to increase from 10 % to 90 % of the maximum amplitude
(voltage)
