Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Radio Equipment and
Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS is based upon CEPT Recommendation T/R 24-01 [1] and I-ETS 300 113 [6], and is
complementary to ETS 300 086 [2], which covers radio equipment for use in the land mobile service and
intended primarily for analogue speech.
This is a general ETS which may be superseded or complemented by specific standards addressing
specific applications. It applies to equipment designed to operate within the professional mobile radio
service and to the associated frequency planning.
Access protocols for equipment covered by this ETS are the subject of other ETSI standards such as
ETS 300 471 [8].
This ETS is voluntary in application, however, it can be made mandatory by national Administrations as a
part of the conditions attached to the issue of licenses for the use or sale of radio apparatus.
Annex A: is normative and provides additional information concerning radiated
measurements.
Annex B: is normative and gives the requirements for equipment to be used for the
measurements of adjacent channel power.
Annex C: is normative and presents the technical characteristics to be fulfilled, when
required by the appropriate national regulatory authority, for the identification of
stations type approved for professional mobile radio systems, that do not comply
with other system protocols (e.g. trunking protocols); it is the responsibility of the
manufacturer to ensure that the modulation that he has chosen for the
identification, in accordance with the tables of this annex fulfils the requirements
corresponding to the channels where the equipment is designed to operate, as
specified in the main body of this ETS. The tables of this annex are expected to
be updated regularly in order to reflect the progress accomplished in the field of
mobile data transmissions.
Annex D: is informative and gives a graphic representation of subclauses 4.1.5 to 4.1.11,
referring to the presentation of equipment for testing purpose.
Annex E: is informative and provides guidance concerning the technical characteristics of
the modulation, coding and format.
Annex F is informative and contains a Bibliography.

ETS 300 113: June 1996
Introduction
This ETS is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement of radio
equipment for use in the land mobile service as specified in the scope.
Clause 5 provides the corresponding limits. These limits have been chosen to ensure an acceptable grade
of service and to minimise harmful interference to other equipment and services. They are based on the
interpretation of the measurement results given in subclause 4.4.
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 of 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 in clause 4,
methods of measurement in clauses 8, 9 and 10, and conditions in clauses 6 and 7.
This ETS may also be used by monitoring services in particular for the identification of stations (see
annex C).
This ETS was drafted on the assumption that:
- type test measurements performed in an accredited testing laboratory in one country would be
accepted by the Administration in another country provided that the national regulatory
requirements are met (in accordance to CEPT Recommendation T/R 71-03 [7]);
- if equipment available on the market is required to be checked it should be tested in accordance
with the methods specified in this ETS.
All transmissions from equipment conforming to this ETS should include at specified moments,
information establishing the identity of the transmitter.
The means of system identification should be approved by the appropriate national regulatory authority.

ETS 300 113: June 1996
1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the minimum characteristics considered
necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all
the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum
performance achievable.
This ETS applies to constant envelope angle modulation systems for use in the land mobile service, using
the available bandwidth, operating on radio frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 GHz, with channel
separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz intended for data transmissions. It applies to digital and
combined analogue and digital radio equipment with an internal or external antenna connector intended
for the transmission of data and/or speech.
The particular type of modulation will be chosen by the manufacturer, although it is recognised that in
some countries national legislation may limit the use of certain code structures/data formats.
The technical characteristics given in this ETS are independent of data rate but may in practice limit the
maximum data rate achievable. Future editions of this ETS are being prepared to allow complex
modulation methods, together with their appropriate limits, for use at higher bit rates.
In this ETS different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations,
etc. where appropriate.
In this ETS, data transmission systems are defined as systems which transmit and/or receive data. The
equipment comprises a transmitter and associated encoder and modulator and/or a receiver and
associated demodulator and decoder.
The types of equipment covered by this ETS are as follows:
- base station (equipment fitted with an antenna socket, intended for use in a fixed location);
- mobile station (equipment fitted with an antenna socket, normally used in a vehicle or as a
transportable);
- and those handportable stations:
a) fitted with an antenna socket; or
b) without an external antenna socket (integral antenna equipment), but fitted with a permanent
internal or a temporary internal 50 Ω Radio Frequency (RF) connector which allows access to
the transmitter output and the receiver input.
Handportable equipment without an external or internal RF connector and without the possibility of having
a temporary internal 50 Ω RF connector is not covered by this ETS.
Additional standards or specifications may also be required for equipment such as that intended for
connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN), or data networks.
Channel separations, maximum transmitter output power/effective radiated power, class of transmitter
intermodulation attenuation, bit rates and the use of digitised speech may be conditions to the issue of a
licence by the appropriate Administration.
Requirements to be fulfilled by equipment designed to meet several ETSs can be found in clause 4.
