Introduction
Wideband radio data transmission systems are rapidly being introduced into a variety of commercial and
industrial applications and the technology employed by these systems is still developing.
This ETS may 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),
testing conditions (clause 6) and methods of measurement (clause 7).
This ETS assumes that:
- the type test measurements performed in an accredited test laboratory in one CEPT country would
be accepted by the Type Approval Authority in another country provided that the national regulatory
requirements are met (see CEPT Recommendation T/R 71-03 [3]);
- if equipment available on the market is required to be checked it would be tested in accordance with
the methods of measurement specified in this ETS.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers equipment referred to in CEPT
Recommendation T/R 10-01 [1]. This ETS covers the minimum technical characteristics for radio data
transmission equipment having the following technical parameters:
- wideband radio modulation techniques;
- aggregate bit rates in excess of 250 kbits/s;
- operation in the 2,4 to 2,4835 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) band;
- effective radiated power of up to - 10 dBW (100 mW);
- power density of up to - 10 dBW (100 mW) per 100 kHz for frequency hopping modulation;
- power density of up to - 20 dBW (10 mW) per 1 MHz for other forms of spread spectrum
modulation.
This ETS only addresses the transceivers, transmitters and receivers of equipment offered for testing.
The equipment offered for testing may be used in fixed, mobile or portable applications, e.g.:
- stand-alone radio equipment with or without their own control provisions;
- combined radio equipment where the radio part is fully integrated within other types of equipment;
- plug-in radio devices intended for use with a variety of host systems, e.g. personal computers.
The equipment may be fitted with integral antennas and/or antenna connectors.
CEPT Recommendation T/R 10-01 [1] defines the total power and power density limits for systems using
spread spectrum modulation together with a minimum aggregate bit rate of 250 kbits/s. The
Recommendation does not address the details of these modulation techniques. Therefore, this ETS does
not cover the design or operation of the equipment being tested but describes a common set of
measurements to be applied to various types of such equipment, including those employing Frequency
Hopping Spread Spectrum (FHSS) modulation and Direct Sequence Spread Spectrum (DSSS) modulation.
CEPT Recommendation T/R 10-01 [1] specifies that spread spectrum modulation be used and it gives
power density values for FHSS and DSSS modulation. This ETS specifies the minimum technical
parameters of FHSS modulation such that it can be clearly differentiated from other types of modulation,
including DSSS modulation.
CEPT Recommendation T/R 01-04 [2] defines limits of spurious emissions for a variety of radio equipment;
these limits are used in this ETS as appropriate.
This ETS describes measurements for operating frequency range(s), effective radiated power and power
density as well as spurious emissions for transmitters and receivers.
The measurement methods have been adapted from ETR 027 [4] where possible.
This ETS specifies test site characteristics, test conditions, equipment calibration and methods of
measurement.
This ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specific
applications.
Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection
to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and/or other Public Data Networks (PDN).

4 General
4.1 Manufacturer declarations
The manufacturer shall declare the following specific characteristics of the equipment:
a) the aggregate bit rate (see subclause 3.1 for the definition);
b) the type of modulation used: FHSS modulation, DSSS modulation or any other type of spread
spectrum modulation (see subclause 5.1);
c) where applicable, the duty cycle of the transmitter (Tx on/(Tx on + Tx off)) as well as the Tx on and
Tx off times);
d) where FHSS modulation is used: the number of hopping channels, the dwell time per channel and
the maximum time between two instances of use of the same channel; these values shall fall within
the specifications given in subclause 5.1.1;
e) the operating frequency range(s) of the equipment and, where applicable, band(s) of operation (see
subclause 5.2.1);
f) the type of the equipment, for example: stand-alone or plug-in radio device (see subclause 3.1). For
plug-in radio devices the applicable types of host should be declared as well (see also subclause
6.5);
g) the extreme operating conditions that apply to the equipment offered for testing;
h) the gain of the antenna assembly(ies) intended for normal use, i.e. the transfer function between the
conducted RF power and eirp;
i) the nominal ac/dc power voltages of the radio equipment.
Where the equipment to be tested can be equipped with one or more antennas, the manufacturer shall
declare and provide for testing the antenna(s) with the equipment; all of these antennas shall be included in
the radiated measurements described in this ETS. The characteristics of the antenna assembly(ies)
intended for normal use as specified by the manufacturer will be included in the user documentation
supplied with the equipment.
4.2 Presentation of equipment for type testing
4.2.1 Choice of model
The manufacturer shall offer one or more production models or equivalent preliminary models, as
appropriate, for type testing. If type approval is given on the basis of tests on (a) preliminary model(s),
then the corresponding production models shall be identical to the tested models in all respects relevant for
the purposes of this ETS, except, where applicable, for the antenna.
Due to the low levels of RF signal and the wideband modulations used in this type of equipment, radiated
RF power measurements are imprecise. Conducted measurements are much more precise; in combination
with the declared antenna assembly gain(s) adequate assurance of the RF characteristics can be
achieved. Therefore, equipment offered for testing shall provide a 50 ohm connector for conducted RF
power measurements. Where this is not possible, the manufacturer shall provide a documented test fixture
that converts the radiated signal into a conducted signal into a 50 ohm termination. Alternatively, radiated
measurements shall be performed.
Where manufacturers submit equipment with an integral antenna only, two sets of equipment shall be
provided, one set fitted with an RF test connector and one set fitted with the integral antenna.

ETS 300 328: November 1994
4.2.2 Presentation
Stand-alone equipment shall be offered complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. The
manufacturer shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operating conditions and power
requirements as applicable in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.
Plug-in radio devices may be offered for testing together with a suitable test jig and/or host equipment (see
subclause 6.5). The manufacturer shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operating conditions
and power requirements that are applicable in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.
4.2.3 Choice of operating frequencies
Where equipment can be adjusted to, or operated at, different operating frequencies, a minimum of three
operating frequencies shall be chosen such that the lower and higher limits of the operating range(s), as
well as the middle of the operating range(s), of the equipment are covered, (see subclause 5.2.1).
4.3 Design
4.3.1 General
The equipment submitted by the manufacturer, shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in
accordance with sound engineering practice, and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other
equipment and services.
4.3.2 Controls
Those controls (of the radio part) which, if maladjusted, might increase the interfering potential of the
equipment shall not be easily accessible to the user.
4.4 Marking
The marking shall be in accordance with the requirements of CEPT Recommendation TR 10-01 [1].
4.5 Interpretation of the measurement results
The interpretation of the test results recorded in a test report for the measurements described in this ETS
shall be as follows:
a) the measured value related to the corresponding limit shall be used to decide whether an equipment
meets the requirements of the ETS;
b) the actual measurement uncertainty of the test laboratory carrying out the measurements, for each
particular measurement, in accordance with ETR 028 [5], shall be recorded in the test report.
The recorded value of the measurement uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or lower
than the figures in clause 8 (measurement uncertainty).
5 Technical characteristics
5.1 Modulation
The manufacturer shall declare the modulation characteristics of the equipment to be tested. For the
purpose of deciding which level of power density applies to equipment offered for testing, this ETS defines
two categories of equipment:
- equipment conforming to the stated characteristics of FHSS modulation (see subclause 5.1.1); and

---------------------- Page: 13 ----------------------

SIST ETS 300 328 E1:2005
Page 12
ETS 300 328: November 1994
- equipment not conforming to these characteristics.
The latter category includes equipment using DSSS modulation (see subclause 5.1.2).
5.1.1 FHSS modulation
FHSS modulation shall make use of at least 20 well defined, non-overlapping channels or hopping positions
separated by the channel bandwidth as measured at 20 dB below peak power. The dwell time per channel
shall not exceed 0,4 seconds. While the equipment is operating (transmitting and/or receiving) each
channel of the hopping sequence shall be occupied at least once during a period not exceeding four times
the product of the dwell time per hop and the number of channels. Systems that meet these constraints
shall be tested according to the requirements for FHSS modulation.
5.1.2 DSSS and other forms of modulation
For the purposes of this ETS, other forms of spread spectrum modulation which do not satisfy the
constraints of the specification given in subclause 5.1.1, shall be considered equivalent to DSSS
modulation. Systems using these other forms of modulation, shall be tested according to the requirements
for DSSS modulation.
5.2 Transmitter parameter limits
5.2.1 Frequency range
The frequency range of the equipment is determined by
