History .............................................................................................................................................74

This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and

Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).

Annex B contains normative specifications for adjacent channel power measurement arrangements.

Annex C is a graphic representation of the normative subclause 4.1, referring to the presentation of

Annex D contains specifications for the test discriminator used in transient measurements.

- the type test measurements performed in an accredited test laboratory in one country would be

accepted by the Type Approval Authority in another country provided that the national regulatory

- if equipment available on the market is required to be checked it should be tested in accordance

This ETS is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement of radio

equipment for use in the land mobile service as specified in the Scope. Clause 5 provides the

corresponding limits. These limits have been chosen to ensure an acceptable grade of service and to

minimise harmful interference to other equipment and services. They are based on the interpretation of the

This ETS covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the

available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a

user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. It applies to equipment with

integral antennas, used in angle modulation systems in the land mobile service, operating on radio

frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with channel separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz,

This ETS is based upon CEPT Recommendation T/R 24-01 annex III [1], and is a general standard which

In this ETS different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations,

The type of equipment covered by this ETS is handportable stations with integral antennas.

This ETS covers angle modulation to be used for radio equipment, but individual national administrations

are free to choose the type of modulation. Channel separations, maximum transmitter output

power/effective radiated power and the inclusion of automatic transmitter shut-off facility may all be

conditions attaching to the issue of a licence by the appropriate administration.

This ETS is complementary to ETS 300 086 [2] which covers radio equipment with an internal or external

RF connector, for use in the land mobile service. It is primarily intended for omnidirectional applications.

Equipment which also includes an external or internal RF connector should be type tested to the

Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection

This ETS may also be used by accredited test laboratories for the assessment of the performance of the

equipment. The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative for the

performance of the corresponding production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment,

this ETS contains instructions for the presentation of equipment for type testing purposes (clause 4),

This ETS incorporates by date or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative

references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications listed hereafter. For dated

references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS only

when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the

audio frequency load: The audio frequency load is normally a resistor of sufficient power rating to accept

the maximum audio output power from the equipment under test. The value of this resistor should be that

stated by the manufacturer and equal to the impedance of the audio transducer at 1 000 Hz. In some

cases it may be necessary to place an isolating transformer between the output terminals of the receiver
