Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and
Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
The ETS is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specific
applications.
This ETS is complementary to I-ETS 300 113 [2] and ETS 300 113 [10] which cover digital and combined
analogue and digital radio equipment with an internal or external RF connector for use in the land mobile
service. It is primarily intended for omnidirectional applications.
For combined analogue speech/data equipment, this ETS is complementary to ETS 300 296 [6] which
covers radio equipment using an integral antenna or use in the land mobile service and intended primarily
for analogue speech.
Integral antenna equipment transmitting signals to initiate a response in the receiver is covered by
ETS 300 341 [7].
Annex A is normative and provides additional information concerning radiated measurements. Detailed
descriptions of the radiated measurement arrangements are included in this annex. It is common to
several (I-)ETSs, in particular covering analogue speech equipment.
Annex B is normative and gives the requirements for equipment to be used for the measurement 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 private 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 the subclause 4.1, referring to the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes.
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.

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.
The methods of measurement have been adapted from ETR 027 [3], I-ETS 300 113 [2], ETS 300 296 [6]
and ETS 300 341 [7] as appropriate.
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 described in subclause 4.4.
Constant envelope modulation should be used for radio equipment covered by this ETS, but individual
national administrations are free to choose the type of modulation. Channel separations, maximum
transmitter output power/effective radiated power and the inclusion of automatic transmitter shut-off facility
may all be conditions attached to the issue of a licence by the appropriate administration.
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,
conditions in clause 6 and methods of measurement in clauses 8 and 9.
This ETS may also be used by monitoring services in particular for the identification of stations (annex C).
Equipment built according to this ETS can be designed to support the BIIS 1200 protocol
(I-ETS 300 230 [8]).
This ETS was drafted on the assumption that:
the type test measurements performed in an accredited test laboratory in one country are accepted
by the administration in another country provided that the national regulatory requirements are met
(in accordance to CEPT Recommendation T/R 71-03 [9]);
if equipment available on the market is required to be checked it is tested in accordance with the
methods of measurement specified in this ETS.

ETS 300 390: February 1996
1 Scope
This 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 1 000 MHz, 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 which is hand portable, using an integral antenna and
intended for the transmission of data and/or speech.
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 may be prepared which may allow complex
modulation methods, together with their appropriate limits, for use at higher bit rates.
In this ETS, a digital radio equipment is defined as a radio equipment which transmits and/or receives
data.
Data equipment is understood as equipment handling continuous bit streams or messages.
The equipment comprises a transmitter and associated encoder and modulator and/or a receiver and
associated demodulator and decoder. The encoder and/or decoder may be a separate piece of
equipment, in which case this ETS covers the combination of encoder and/or decoder and transmitter
and/or receiver equipment.
In this ETS, different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations,
environmental conditions and types of equipment, where appropriate.
Access protocols for equipment covered by this ETS are the subject of other ETSI standards.
Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection
to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).
In the cases of:
- combined full bandwidth analogue/full bandwidth digital equipment, if the analogue part of the
equipment has already been type approved according to ETS 300 296 [6];
- equipment which has already been type approved according to this ETS, and is resubmitted with an
add-on device, using another type of modulation without affecting any other characteristics of the
equipment;
only some of the requirements of this ETS apply. These requirements are given in clause 4.

3 Definitions, abbreviations and symbols
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this family of ETSs, the following definitions apply. Not all of the terms are used in this
particular ETS.
constant envelope angle modulation: Either phase modulation (G3) or frequency modulation (F3).
integral antenna: An antenna designed to be connected to the equipment without the use of a 50 Ω
external connector and considered to be part of the equipment. An integral antenna may be fitted
internally or externally to the equipment.
Types of measurements:
conducted measurements: Measurements which are made using a direct RF connection to the
equipment under test.
radiated measurements: Measurements which involve the absolute measurement of a radiated field.
Types of station:
base station: Equipment fitted with an antenna connector, for use with an external antenna and intended
for use in a fixed location.
mobile station: Mobile equipment fitted with an antenna connector, for use with an external antenna,
normally used in a vehicle or as a transportable station.
handportable station: Equipment either fitted with an antenna connector or an integral antenna, or both,
normally used on a stand-alone basis, to be carried on a person or held in the hand.
Types of tests:
full tests: In all cases except where qualified as "limited", tests are performed according to this ETS.
limited tests: As required by subclause 4.1, the limited tests are as follows:
- transmitter frequency error, subclause 8.1;
- transmitter effective radiated power, subclause 8.2;
- transmitter adjacent channel power, subclause 8.3;
- receiver average usable sensitivity (field strength, data or messages), subclause 9.1;
- receiver adjacent channel selectivity, subclause 9.4.
bit: Binary digit.
block: The smallest quantity of information sent over the radio channel. A constant number of useful bits
are always sent together with the corresponding redundancy bits.

receiver or one particular group of receivers.
transmission (physical): One or several packets transmitted between power on and power off of a
particular transmitter.
window: A set of inter-related transmissions resulting from the action of the "initiating transmitter", and
limited in time by an appropriate access protocol and corresponding occupation rules.
session: A set of inter-related exchanges of packets occupying one or several windows or parts thereof (if
applicable). It corresponds to a complete interactive procedure for interchanging data between users,
comprising initiation, data transmission and termination procedures. The session can be short (e.g. two
packets) or long (e.g. one full page of text).
