1 Scope
The present document deals with spurious emissions at antenna port of Digital Fixed Radio Systems as defined by
Radio Regulation Article 1 [15], ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1], ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2] and
CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3].
Moreover it covers immunity characteristics at receiver's antenna port.
Scope of the present document is to define specific limits at antenna port of spurious emissions and receiver immunity
for suitable inter-working of Digital Fixed Radio Systems (i.e. Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems) in the
same or in different frequency band whenever allocated to Fixed Service in the range 9 kHz to 300 GHz.
However systems with fundamental emission below 30 MHz are not considered relevant for Digital Fixed Radio
Systems and are outside the scope of the present document.
Spurious emissions levels and immunity performance at antenna port are also required to fulfil the
EEC directive 89/336 [14] on EMC.
The present document complements CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] which gives Spurious Emissions limits
with particular regards to "inter Services" operations, while WG TM4 assumed that in some case more protection is
required for compatibility among fixed radio systems deployed in the same geographical area.
Additional considerations and background for producing the present document are:
- Radio Regulations definition of spurious emissions (RR Article 1 N°139 [15]) is aged and give concept and
applicability which do not clearly fit to digital systems;
- ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1] includes emissions with digital modulation but allows options for the
definition of the frequency boundary between out of band and spurious emissions and two different Category of
level limits applicable to the Fixed Service;
- ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2] and CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] define the application of
Radio Regulations concepts of Out of band, Unwanted and Spurious emissions to fixed Digital Radio Systems,
clarify the applicability for the boundary between Out of band and Spurious emissions but maintain the same
possible limit options provided by ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1];
- STC-RES09 has produced many ETSs covering EMC of radio equipment for mobile applications, which include
emissions (or radiation) and immunity at antenna port; STC-RES09 also produced EN 301 489-1 [10] and
EN 301 489-4 [11] covering EMC for fixed Radio links, which exclude, by mutual agreement with WG-TM4,
spurious emissions and immunity at antenna port, which have to be defined by the product standards in order to
cover all the technical parameters for conformance to the EMC Directive 89/336;
- considering the large number of TM4 deliverables it is convenient to maintain a single EN covering these
parameters instead of replicating them on each single product standard, avoiding possible deviation from what
required by other CEPT and ITU-R normative;
- limits of spurious emissions shall be fixed in view of inter-working compatibility among various Fixed Radio
Systems in same or different band exploited in the same area;
- the measurement of the required limits should also be feasible in a suitable and cost effective Conformance test
(informative annex B gives also information in this field);
- it is advisable that Fixed Radio Systems receivers provide a minimum level of immunity at antenna port towards
possible interference at any frequency band of practical interest;
- a suitable and easy to perform criterion for Fixed Radio Systems receivers immunity at antenna port may be
considered the application of a CW interference.

6 ETSI EN 301 390 V1.1.1 (2000-12)
The present document will cover the limits of spurious emissions for already published ETSI deliverables for Fixed
Radio Systems, for the time needed to produce suitable revision, in the following cases:
• the ETSI deliverable does not cover the external spurious emissions and/or receiver immunity items;
• the ETSI deliverable contains less demanding limits;
• the ETSI deliverable contains preliminary limits and/or undefined reference bandwidth.
Some ETSI deliverables for Fixed Radio Systems, sometimes, provide limits for both "external" and "internal" spurious
emissions and the latter are outside the scope of the present document. Moreover the limits for emissions given in the
present document do not prevent more stringent requirement given in those deliverables for intra-system purpose
(i.e. local Transmitter to Receiver interference usually referred as "internal").
In order to fix the suitable limits, in informative annex B, spurious emissions are analysed from the point of view of a
suitable test method for conformance testing.

4 Transmitter spurious emissions at antenna port
According to ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1] and the application to fixed service provided by
ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2], the external spurious emissions are defined as emissions at frequencies
which are ±250 % of the relevant channel separation outside the nominal carrier frequency.
According ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2], the Channel Separation (CS) is taken as XS/2 for alternated
frequency channel arrangements and XS for co-channel and interleaved frequency channel arrangements as defined by
ITU-R Recommendation F.746-4 [13].
The emission within ±250 % of the relevant channel separation includes only fundamental and out of band emissions
which are outside the scope of the present document.
4.1 Limits
Unless more severe requirement were reported into a specific product ETSI deliverable, the spurious emissions at
antenna port of Fixed Radio Systems of both transmitter and receiver shall be limited within the average power limits
reported below.
For "noise-like" emissions, the limits are intended not to be exceeded in any elementary measuring bandwidth.
The limit values are defined at reference point C' shown in the general RF block diagram of figure 1.

7 Receivers immunity at antenna port
7.1 Limits
A suitable and easy to perform criterion is considered the application of a CW interference.
CW spurious response rejection ratio of a receiver is a measure of its ability to discriminate between the wanted signal
at the nominal channel frequency of the receiver and an unwanted signal at any other frequency at which a response is
obtained.
Unless more severe requirement were reported into a specific product ETSI deliverable, for a receiver operating at a
-6
RSL corresponding to the nominal 10 BER threshold given by the relevant ETSI deliverable or in their vacancy by the
Manufacturer declaration, the introduction of a CW interferer at a level of + 30 dB, with respect to the "wanted" signal
-5
shall not result in a BER greater than 10 .
-6
NOTE 1: This requirement is considered equivalent to a degradation of 1 dB of the 10 BER threshold.
The requirement above shall be fulfilled at any frequency in the range given in table 1 (see note 2), excluding
frequencies either side of the wanted frequency by:
- up to twice the foreseen co-polar channel spacing (for P-P systems);
- up to five times the foreseen co-polar channel spacing (for P-MP systems).
NOTE 2: When waveguide is used between reference points A and C of figure 1, which length is higher than twice
the free space wavelength of cut-off frequency (Fc), the lower limit of measurement will be increased to
0,7 Fc and, when the length is higher than four times the same wavelength, to 0,9 Fc.

According to the equipment physical construction, the test shall be carried on with the methodologies given in

Annex A (informative):
Application of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01
The limits of the spurious emissions required by the present document are reported in
CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3]; however, for reader convenience, relevant limits of this recommendation
is reported below in relation to those required by the present document.
A.1 Frequency range of applicability
According to ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1] and the application to fixed service provided by
ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2], CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] defines spurious emissions as any
emission at frequencies which are outside the nominal carrier frequency by more than ±250 % of the relevant channel
separation.
The CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] requires that the limits on spurious emissions for radio equipments are
considered here to be applicable to the range 9 kHz to 300 GHz. However, for practical measurement purpose only, the
frequency range of spurious emissions may be restricted. As guidance for practical purposes, the measurement
parameters reported in table A.1 are normally recommended by CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3].
Table A.1
Fundamental frequency Spurious frequency range
range
Lower frequency Upper frequency
(The test should include the entire harmonic band and
not be truncated at the precise upper frequency limit
stated)
9 kHz to 100 MHz 9 kHz 1 GHz
100 MHz to 300 MHz 9 kHz 10th harmonic
300 MHz to 600 MHz 30 MHz 3 GHz
300 MHz to 5,2 GHz 30 MHz 5th harmonic
5,2 GHz to 13 GHz 30 MHz 26 GHz
13 GHz to 150 GHz 30 MHz 2nd harmonic
150 GHz to 300 GHz 30 MHz 300 GHz
These parameters reflect the increasing difficulty in undertaking practicable tests, especially at frequencies approaching
or beyond 110 GHz, taking into account such factors as availability and usability of suitable measurement equipment. In
some circumstances, it may be necessary to extend the range of test frequencies in order to better facilitate protection of
other services such as Radioastronomy. In any case, systems having an integral antenna incorporating a waveguide
section, or with an antenna connection in such form, and of length equal to at least twice the cut-off wavelength, should
not require spurious emissions measurement below 0,7 times the waveguide cut-off frequency.
For "noise-like" emissions, the limits are intended not to be exceeded in any elementary measuring bandwidth.
