1 Scope The present document, together with EN 301 489-1 [1], covers the assessment of transmitters, exciters, and any associated ancillary equipment dedicated for radio broadcasting services, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC). Technical specifications related to the antenna port emissions and cabinet radiation are not included in the present document. Such technical specifications are found in the relevant product standards of ETSI for the effective use of the radio spectrum.
The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for terrestrial sound broadcasting transmitters and their associated ancillary equipment. Definitions of the type of broadcast transmitters and exciters covered by the present document are given in annex B. In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present document and EN 301 489-1 [1], the provisions of the present document take precedence. The environmental classification and the emission and immunity requirements used in the present document are as stated in EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any specific conditions included in the present document, under which broadcast service transmitters are typically used.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing individually repeated transient phenomena or continuous phenomena is permanently present, e.g. a radar site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection applied to either the source of interference or the interfered part or both. 2 References The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document. • References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. • For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply. • For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies.
