Page 5ETS 300 328: November 1996ForewordThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Radio Equipment andSystems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).Annex A provides additional requirements concerning radiated measurements.Annex B contains normative specifications for the adjustment of the measurement equipment and of theequipment to be measured in order to achieve correct results.Annex C provides a Bibliography.Transposition datesDate of adoption of this ETS:8 November 1996Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa):28 February 1997Date of latest publication of new National Standardor endorsement of this ETS (dop/e):31 August 1997Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow):31 August 1997IntroductionWideband radio data transmission systems are rapidly being introduced into a variety of commercial andindustrial 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 theequipment. The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative for theperformance 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 wouldbe accepted by the Type Approval Authority in another country provided that the national regulatoryrequirements 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 withthe methods of measurement specified in this ETS.SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 7ETS 300 328: November 19961ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers equipment referred to in CEPTRecommendation T/R 10-01 [1]. This ETS covers the minimum technical characteristics for radio datatransmission 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 2,483 5 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 spectrummodulation.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;-plug-in radio devices intended for use with or within a variety of host systems, e.g. personalcomputers, hand-held terminals, etc.The equipment may be fitted with integral antennae and/or antenna connectors.CEPT Recommendation T/R 10-01 [1] defines the total power and power density limits for systems usingspread spectrum modulation together with a minimum aggregate bit rate of 250 kbits/s. TheRecommendation does not address the details of these modulation techniques. Therefore, this ETS doesnot cover the design or operation of the equipment being tested but describes a common set ofmeasurements to be applied to various types of such equipment, including those employing FrequencyHopping 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 givespower density values for FHSS and DSSS modulation. This ETS specifies the minimum technicalparameters 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 radioequipment; these limits are used in this ETS as appropriate.This ETS describes measurements for operating frequency range(s), effective radiated power and powerdensity 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 ofmeasurement.This ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specificapplications.Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connectionto the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and/or other Public Data Networks (PDN).SIST ETS 300 328:1998

In case of combined equipment using a plug-in radio device, and more than onecombination is intended, each combination should be declared as well (see also subclause 6.5.1);f)the extreme operating conditions that apply to the equipment offered for testing;SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 11ETS 300 328: November 1996g)where the radio equipment is capable of different transmitter power settings, the manufacturer shalldeclare the intended combination(s) of the radio equipment power settings and one or moreantenna assemblies. For each combination, the gain of the antenna assembly i.e. the transferfunction between the conducted RF power and e.i.r.p., shall be declared;h)the nominal voltages of the stand-alone radio equipment or the nominal voltages of the hostequipment in case of plug-in devices.Where the manufacturer offers different combinations of equipment and antennae, the antennaeappropriate for a given combination shall be referenced either on the equipment and on the antennaeand/or in the user documentation.4.2Presentation of equipment for type testing4.2.1Choice of modelThe manufacturer shall offer one or more production models or equivalent preliminary models, asappropriate, 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 relevantfor the purposes of this standard, to the preliminary model(s) tested.Software fitted to production models shall be substantially the same as that used during type testing.Due to the low levels of RF signal and the wideband modulations used in this type of equipment, radiatedRF power measurements are imprecise. Conducted measurements are much more precise; incombination with the declared antenna assembly gain(s) adequate assurance of the RF characteristicscan be achieved. Therefore, equipment offered for testing shall preferably provide a suitable connector forconducted RF power measurements. Where this is not possible, the manufacturer shall provide adocumented test fixture that converts the radiated signal into a conducted signal into a suitabletermination. Alternatively, radiated measurements shall be performed.4.2.2PresentationStand-alone equipment shall be offered complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. Themanufacturer shall declare, the range of operating conditions and power requirements as applicable inorder to establish the appropriate test conditions.Plug-in radio devices may be offered for testing together with a suitable test jig and/or host equipmentintended for normal use (see subclause 6.5). The manufacturer shall declare the range of operatingconditions and power requirements that are applicable in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.Where a manufacturer declares multiple combinations of radio equipment and antennae, the configurationto be used for testing shall be chosen as follows except where specified otherwise:-for each combination, determine the highest user selectable power level and the antenna assemblywith the highest gain;-from the resulting combinations, choose the one with the highest e.i.r.p.4.2.3Choice of operating frequenciesWhere equipment can be adjusted to or operated at different operating frequencies, a minimum of twooperating frequencies shall be chosen such that the lower and higher limits of the operating range(s) ofthe equipment are covered (see subclause 5.2.3).4.3Design4.3.1GeneralThe equipment submitted by the manufacturer, shall be designed, constructed and manufactured inaccordance with good engineering practice, and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to otherequipment and services.SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 12ETS 300 328: November 19964.3.2ControlsThose controls (of the radio part) which, if maladjusted, might increase the interfering potential of theequipment shall not be easily accessible to the user.4.4Interpretation of the measurement resultsThe interpretation of the test results recorded in a test report for the measurements described in this ETSshall be as follows:a)the measured value related to the corresponding limit shall be used to decide whether anequipment meets the requirements of the ETS;b)the actual measurement uncertainty of the test laboratory carrying out the measurements, for eachparticular 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 lowerthan the figures in clause 8 (table of measurement uncertainty).5Technical characteristics5.1ModulationThe manufacturer shall declare the modulation characteristics of the equipment to be tested. For thepurpose of deciding which level of power density applies to equipment offered for testing, this ETS definestwo categories of equipment: equipment conforming to the stated characteristics of FHSS modulation (seesubclause 5.1.1) and equipment not conforming to these characteristics. The latter category includesequipment using DSSS modulation (see subclause 5.1.2).5.1.1FHSS modulationFHSS modulation shall make use of at least 20 well defined, non-overlapping channels or hoppingpositions separated by the channel bandwidth as measured at 20 dB below peak power. The dwell timeper channel shall not exceed 0,4 seconds. While the equipment is operating (transmitting and/orreceiving) each channel of the hopping sequence shall be occupied at least once during a period notexceeding four times the product of the dwell time per hop and the number of channels. Systems thatmeet the above constraints shall be tested according to the requirements for FHSS modulation.5.1.2DSSS and other forms of modulationFor the purposes of this standard, other forms of spread spectrum modulation which do not satisfy theconstraints of the specification given in subclause 5.1.1, shall be considered equivalent to DSSSmodulation. Systems using these other forms of modulation shall be considered equivalent to DSSSsystems and shall be tested according to the requirements for DSSS modulation.5.2Transmitter parameter limits5.2.1Effective radiated powerThe effective radiated power is defined as the total power of the transmitter and is calculated according tothe procedure given in subclause 7.2.1. The effective radiated power shall be equal to or less than-10 dBW (100 mW) e.i.r.p. This limit shall apply for any combination of power level and intended antennaassembly.See clause 6 for the test conditions; see subclause 7.2.1 for the measurement method.5.2.2Peak power densityThe peak power density is defined as the highest instantaneous level of power in Watts per Hertzgenerated by the transmitter within the power envelope. For equipment using FHSS modulation, the powerdensity shall be limited to -10 dBW (100 mW) per 100 kHz e.i.r.p. For equipment using other types ofmodulation, the peak power shall be limited to -20 dBW (10 mW) per MHz e.i.r.p.SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 13ETS 300 328: November 1996See clause 6 for the test conditions; see subclause 7.2.2 for the measurement and calculation methods.5.2.3Frequency rangeThe frequency range of the equipment is determined by the lowest and highest frequencies occupied bythe power envelope.fH is the highest frequency of the power envelope: it is the frequency furthest above the frequency ofmaximum power where the output power drops below the level of -80 dBm/Hz e.i

The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative for theperformance 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 wouldbe accepted by the Type Approval Authority in another country provided that the national regulatoryrequirements 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 withthe methods of measurement specified in this ETS.SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 7ETS 300 328: November 19961ScopeThis European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers equipment referred to in CEPTRecommendation T/R 10-01 [1]. This ETS covers the minimum technical characteristics for radio datatransmission 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 2,483 5 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 spectrummodulation.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;-plug-in radio devices intended for use with or within a variety of host systems, e.g. personalcomputers, hand-held terminals, etc.The equipment may be fitted with integral antennae and/or antenna connectors.CEPT Recommendation T/R 10-01 [1] defines the total power and power density limits for systems usingspread spectrum modulation together with a minimum aggregate bit rate of 250 kbits/s. TheRecommendation does not address the details of these modulation techniques. Therefore, this ETS doesnot cover the design or operation of the equipment being tested but describes a common set ofmeasurements to be applied to various types of such equipment, including those employing FrequencyHopping 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 givespower density values for FHSS and DSSS modulation. This ETS specifies the minimum technicalparameters 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 radioequipment; these limits are used in this ETS as appropriate.This ETS describes measurements for operating frequency range(s), effective radiated power and powerdensity 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 ofmeasurement.This ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specificapplications.Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connectionto the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN) and/or other Public Data Networks (PDN).SIST ETS 300 328:1998

In case of combined equipment using a plug-in radio device, and more than onecombination is intended, each combination should be declared as well (see also subclause 6.5.1);f)the extreme operating conditions that apply to the equipment offered for testing;SIST ETS 300 328:1998

Page 11ETS 300 328: November 1996g)where the radio equipment is capable of different transmitter power settings, the manufacturer shalldeclare the intended combination(s) of the radio equipment power settings and one or moreantenna assemblies. For each combination, the gain of the antenna assembly i.e. the transferfunction between the conducted RF power and e.i.r.p., shall be declared;h)the nominal voltages of the stand-alone radio equipment or the nominal voltages of the hostequipment in case of plug-in devices.Where the manufacturer offers different combinations of equipment and antennae, the antennaeappropriate for a given combination shall be referenced either on the equipment and on the antennaeand/or in the user documentation.4.2Presentation of equipment for type testing4.2.1Choice of modelThe manufacturer shall offer one or more production models or equivalent preliminary models, asappropriate, 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 relevantfor the purposes of this standard, to the preliminary model(s) tested.Software fitted to production models shall be substantially the same as that used during type testing.Due to the low levels of RF signal and the wideband modulations used in this type of equipment, radiatedRF power measurements are imprecise. Conducted measurements are much more precise; incombination with the declared antenna assembly gain(s) adequate assurance of the RF characteristicscan be achieved. Therefore, equipment offered for testing shall preferably provide a suitable connector forconducted RF power measurements. Where this is not possible, the manufacturer shall provide adocumented test fixture that converts the radiated signal into a conducted signal into a suitabletermination. Alternatively, radiated measurements shall be performed.4.2.2PresentationStand-alone equipment shall be offered complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. Themanufacturer shall declare, the range of operating conditions and power requirements as applicable inorder to establish the appropriate test conditions.Plug-in radio devices may be offered for testing together with a suitable test jig and/or host equipmentintended for normal use (see subclause 6.5). The manufacturer shall declare the range of operatingconditions and power requirements that are applicable in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.Where a manufacturer declares multiple combinations of radio equipment and antennae, the configurationto be used for testing shall be chosen as follows except where specified otherwise:-for each combination, determine the highest user selectable power level and the antenna assemblywith the highest gain;-from the resulting combinations, choose the one with the highest e.i.r.p.4.2.3Choice of operating frequenciesWhere equipment can be adjusted to or operated at different operating frequencies, a minimum of twooperating frequencies shall be chosen such that the lower and higher limits of the operating range(s) ofthe equipment are covered (see subclause 5.2.3).4.3Design4.3.1GeneralThe equipment submitted by the manufacturer, shall be designed, constructed and manufactured inaccordance with good engineering practice, and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to otherequipment and services.SIST ETS 300 328:1998

For thepurpose of deciding which level of power density applies to equipment offered for testing, this ETS definestwo categories of equipment: equipment conforming to the stated characteristics of FHSS modulation (seesubclause 5.1.1) and equipment not conforming to these characteristics. The latter category includesequipment using DSSS modulation (see subclause 5.1.2).5.1.1FHSS modulationFHSS modulation shall make use of at least 20 well defined, non-overlapping channels or hoppingpositions separated by the channel bandwidth as measured at 20 dB below peak power. The dwell timeper channel shall not exceed 0,4 seconds. While the equipment is operating (transmitting and/orreceiving) each channel of the hopping sequence shall be occupied at least once during a period notexceeding four times the product of the dwell time per hop and the number of channels. Systems thatmeet the above constraints shall be tested according to the requirements for FHSS modulation.5.1.2DSSS and other forms of modulationFor the purposes of this standard, other forms of spread spectrum modulation which do not satisfy theconstraints of the specification given in subclause 5.1.1, shall be considered equivalent to DSSSmodulation. Systems using these other forms of modulation shall be considered equivalent to DSSSsystems and shall be tested according to the requirements for DSSS modulation.5.2Transmitter parameter limits5.2.1Effective radiated powerThe effective radiated power is defined as the total power of the transmitter and is calculated according tothe procedure given in subclause 7.2.1. The effective radiated power shall be equal to or less than-10 dBW (100 mW) e.i.r.p. This limit shall apply for any combination of power level and intended antennaassembly.See clause 6 for the test conditions; see subclause 7.2.1 for the measurement method.5.2.2Peak power densityThe peak power density is defined as the highest instantaneous level of power in Watts per Hertzgenerated by the transmitter within the power envelope. For equipment using FHSS modulation, the powerdensity shall be limited to -10 dBW (100 mW) per 100 kHz e.i.r.p. For equipment using other types ofmodulation, the peak power shall be limited to -20 dBW (10 mW) per MHz e.i.r.p.SIST ETS 300 328:1998
