channel bandwidth: frequency band of defined width (as a multiple of the carrier grid) including safety margin for
operation on adjacent channels, located symmetrically around a carrier frequency in the carrier grid
class of emission: set of characteristics of an emission, designated by standard symbols
NOTE: Type of modulation of the main carrier, modulating signal, type of information to be transmitted, and
also, if appropriate, any additional signal characteristics.
dBc: decibels relative to the unmodulated carrier power of the emission
NOTE: In the cases which do not have a carrier, for example in some digital modulation schemes where the
carrier is not accessible for measurement, the reference level equivalent to dBc is decibels relative to the
mean power P.
enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge
NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment within the scope of EN 302 245-1 is
required to comply with the provisions of EN 302 245-1
harmonic: component of order greater than 1 of the Fourier series of a periodic quantity
harmonic number: integral number given by the ratio of the frequency of a harmonic to the fundamental frequency
nd
NOTE: 2 harmonic = 2 × fundamental frequency.
intermodulation products: unwanted frequencies resulting from intermodulation between carriers or harmonics of
emission, or between any oscillations generated to produce the carrier
mean power: average power supplied to the antenna port by a transmitter during an interval of time sufficiently long
compared with the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions
multiplex: stream of all the digital data carrying one or more services within a single physical channel
necessary bandwidth: for a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is sufficient to ensure the
transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions
out-of-band emissions: emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which
results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions
quadrature error: error caused by phase shift between the I and Q signals
reference bandwidth: bandwidth in which the emission level is specified
RMS power: apparent power of an AC power that is calculated by multiplying root-mean-square (rms) current by the
root mean square voltage
NOTE 1: In a purely resistive circuit this is held to be the equivalent heating effect of a DC power and can be
deemed to be true power. In a circuit that consists of reactance as well as resistance the apparent power is
greater than the true power (the vector difference between true power and apparent power is called
reactive power).
True Power = Vrms × (Irms ∆ cos Ø)
Where Δ cos Ø is the phase difference between voltage and current introduced by the reactance of the load.
NOTE 2: From the above definition it becomes clear that unless any measuring system can be completely devoid of
reactance then the measured power cannot be considered to be RMS power. It therefore becomes apparent
that this parameter would be difficult to measure with any degree of accuracy at RF frequencies.

spurious emissions: emission on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of
which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information
NOTE: Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and
frequency conversion products but exclude out-of-band emissions.
unwanted emissions: spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions

4.1 Environmental profile
The environmental profile for operation of the equipment shall be declared by the supplier. The equipment shall comply
with all the technical requirements of the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the
required operational environmental profile.

4.2 Transmitter output characteristics
4.2.1 Rated output power
4.2.1.1 Definition
The rated output power is the mean power that the transmitter shall deliver at its antenna port under the manufacturers
specified conditions of operation.
NOTE: It is, however, recommended that this parameter is not quoted as RMS power.
4.2.1.2 Method of measurement
4.2.1.2.1 Initial conditions
Test environment:
- the normal operating environment, as declared by the equipment manufacturer.
Test frequencies:
1) the lowest operating frequency of the EUT;
2) the highest operating frequency of the EUT;
3) a frequency mid-way between 1) and 2) above.
Test arrangement (see figure A.1):
1) all ports unused at the time of testing shall be correctly terminated;
2) connect the EUT to the test load, via the coupling device or via the attenuator;
3) connect the measuring device to the coupling device or attenuator.
4.2.1.2.2 Procedure
The power of the signal of a DRM transmitter is defined as the long-term average of the time-varying short-term signal
power. An appropriate instrument for low power DRM transmitters is a thermal power meter; for high power DRM
transmitters a calorimetric method may be used.
4.2.1.2.3 Test requirements
The results obtained shall be compared to the limits in clause 4.2.1.3 in order to demonstrate compliance.
4.2.1.3 Limit
The mean output power shall be within ±10 % of the rated output power under normal operating conditions as defined
by the manufacturer.
4.2.2 Frequency stability
4.2.2.1 Definition
The frequency stability of an emission is the variation of frequency against a predetermined time scale.

4.2.2.2 Method of measurement
4.2.2.2.1 Initial conditions
Test environment:
- the normal operating environment, as declared by the equipment manufacturer.
Test frequencies:
- one frequency within the tuning range of the EUT.
Test arrangement (see figure A.1):
1) all ports unused at the time of testing shall be correctly terminated;
2) connect the EUT to the test load, via the coupling device or via the attenuator;
3) connect the measuring device to the coupling device or attenuator.
NOTE: Alternatively the transmitter local oscillator may be measured in order to calculate the frequency stability
of the EUT RF output signal.
4.2.2.2.2 Procedure
The characteristic frequency may be measured with any suitable measuring device, provided that the accuracy attained
during the measurement is better than approximately 10 % of the frequency tolerance of the frequency stability
specified in clause 4.2.2.3.
For a tight frequency tolerance or a high degree of frequency stability, the measuring accuracy stated above puts higher
demands on the accuracy of the measuring equipment.
Other methods of great precision use a standard reference frequency, the frequency of which is known with high
accuracy. With such methods, the reception of a standard frequency transmission may be used to advantage. When the
frequency is to be measured as a function of time, measurements shall be made at intervals, which are short enough to
reveal the presence of superimposed periodical variations.
In this case, the measurements shall preferably be made with a recording instrument.
The accuracy of the measuring method shall be stated with the results of the measurements.
The conditions of operation shall also be given together with the assigned frequency of the emission which has been
used as the characteristic frequency.
4.2.2.2.3 Test requirements
The results obtained shall be compared to the limits in clause 4.2.2.3 in order to demonstrate compliance.
4.2.2.3 Limit
For a period of not less than ninety days, the frequency of the transmitter shall stay within the tolerance of ±10 Hz.
4.3 Digital signal processing
4.3.1 Modulation Error Ratio (MER)
4.3.1.1 Definition
MER is a single parameter to measure the quality of the transmitted signal. It is defined as the sum of the squares of the
magnitudes of the ideal symbol vectors divided by the sum of the squares of the magnitudes of the symbol error vectors.
The result is expressed as a power ratio in dB.

4.3.1.2 Method of measurement
The carrier frequency of the OFDM signal and the symbol timing are recovered by the receiver. In the received signal
Origin Offset (e.g. caused by residual carrier or DC offset in the mixers), Quadrature Error (e.g. caused by phase shift
between the I and Q signal) and Amplitude Imbalance (e.g. caused by different amplification of I and Q) are not
corrected in the receiver.
A time record of N received symbol co-ordinate pairs (Ij, Qj) is captured.
For each received symbol, a decision is made as to which symbol was transmitted. The error vector is defined as the
distance from
