1 Scope
This part of the seven part European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) 300 133 defines the receiver
conformance specification which the different categories of paging receiver must comply with before they
can be operated on the European Radio Message System (ERMES). Essential features are covered which
make up the basic version receiver of each paging receiver category and also the optional receiver
features which, if implemented, must conform to this specification.
2 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated or undated reference, provisions from other publications. These normative
references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed hereafter. For
dated references subsequent amendments to, or revisions of any of these publications apply to this ETS
only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references the latest edition of the
publication referred to applies.

country code consists of 7 bits.
External Message: a paging message sent to a receiver which is not in its home network.
External Receiver: a receiver operating in a network which is not its home network.
Home Network: the operator network with which a mobile subscriber has signed a subscription.
Home Operator: the network operator to which a specific user has subscribed.
Initial Address: the 18 most significant bits of the local address.
Local Address: the number used by a network to identify the receivers subscribed to it. It consists of 22
bits. The four least significant bits of the local address denote the batch number of the receiver.
Operator code: the number used by the system on the radio path to identify an operator within a country.
It consists of 3 bits.

The normal test conditions shall be temperature + 15 °C to + 35 °C and relative humidity from 20 % to 75
%, non condensing.
The normal test voltage shall be that declared by the manufacturer.
5.3 Extreme test conditions
The temperature range shall be - 10 °C to + 55 °C and relative humidity from 20 % to 75 %, non
condensing.
The extreme test voltages shall be declared by the manufacturer.
5.4 Test fixture
A TEM cell shall be used for all tests unless otherwise stated. Test fixtures to enable tests under extreme
voltage conditions shall be provided by the manufacturer if required by the approved testing laboratory.
5.5 Test paging signal
The transmissions shall be in accordance with ETS 300 133-4 [1].
The batch structure used during testing shall contain one address in the address partition followed by one
message in the message partition as shown in subclause 8.1.1 unless otherwise specified.
The test paging message to the receiver under test may be tone only, 10 numeric characters or 55 alpha-
numeric characters according to the feature under test.
For successful calls the receiver shall respond to the transmitted test paging message correctly without
error except as allowed in the average usable sensitivity test defined in Annex A, Clause A.1.
6 RF characteristics
6.1 Performance requirements
The following receiver parameters shall be measured and the specified performance achieved:
i) average usable sensitivity under normal conditions : 25 dBμV/m
This value of 25 dBμV/m shall be referred to as the reference figure;
ii) average usable sensitivity under normal conditions but with a transmitter frequency
offset of ± 200 Hz shall be the same as the reference figure;

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

SIST ETS 300 133-5 E1:2003
Page 12
ETS 300 133-5: July 1992
iii) average usable sensitivity under switching conditions shall be the same as the reference
figure;
iv) average usable sensitivity under extreme temperature and voltage conditions : + 6 dB
on the reference figure;
v) average usable sensitivity under extreme temperature and voltage conditions with a
transmitter frequency offset of ± 200 Hz shall be + 6 dB on the reference figure;
vi) co-channel rejection : 10 dB;

viii) adjacent channel selectivity under extreme conditions : 50 dB;
ix) spurious response immunity : 76 dBμV/m;
x) intermodulation immunity : 70 dBμV/m;
xi) blocking immunity or desensitisation : 84 dBμV/m;
xii) usable input level range : The receiver shall operate on channel at a field strength of 3 V/m;

xiv) spurious emissions:
100 kHz - 1 GHz : 2 nW
1 GHz - 4 GHz : 20 nW
ERMES channels : 2 pW;
xv) channel switching : Receiver is receiving system information on one channel and does
not find its initial address in the address partition. It then switches channels and
prepares to receive signals in its batch on that channel. The receiver shall suffer no
degradation in sensitivity.
6.2 Method of measurement
Measurements shall be conducted on ERMES frequency number 8 (see ETS 300 133-4 [1], subclause
9.2) unless otherwise stated. The measurements shall be conducted according to the following steps:
a) the average usable sensitivity expressed as the field strength shall be measured as described in
Annex A, Clause A.1. The test site shall be complemented with a "simulated man" (see Annex B,
Clause B.1). Any ERMES frequency may be used. All six receivers shall be measured;
b) the measurement procedure for spurious radiations shall be carried out as described in Annex A,
Clause A.2. All six receivers shall be measured;
c) the measurement of the average usable sensitivity shall be repeated for all six receivers under
normal and extreme conditions in the test fixture according to Annex A, Clause A.1;
d) the average usable sensitivity on the lowest and highest ERMES frequencies shall be measured for
all six receivers;
e) measurement of usable input level range: All receivers shall correctly receive four messages out of
four.
All the following measurements shall be carried out on the best and the worst receivers of the six supplied
with respect to sensitivity measured under normal conditions in the test fixture:

Page 13
ETS 300 133-5: July 1992
f) measurement of the co-channel rejection shall be carried out as described in Annex A, Clause A.3;
g) the measurement of the adjacent channel selectivity under normal and extreme conditions shall be
carried out as described in Annex A, Clause A.4;
h) the measurement of the spurious response immunity shall be carried out as described in Annex A,
Clause A.5;
i) the measurement of intermodulation immunity shall be carried out as described in Annex A, Clause
A.6;
j) the measurement of the blocking immunity or desensitisation shall be carried out as described in
Annex A, Clause A.7;
k) the measurements of quasi synchronous sensitivity combined with multipath shall be made at a
simulated speed of 3 km/h. A second signal with the same data content but delayed 50 μs, 1 dB
weaker and 30 Hz RF frequency offset shall be added. The reference test procedure is given in
Annex A, Clause A.8;
l) channel switching: The average usable sensitivity shall be measured with the following test signal: A
batch shall be transmitted consisting of 139 initial addresses numerically higher than the initial
address of the receiver under test. This shall be immediately followed by the test message shown in
subclause 8.1.1 transmitted on the appropriate channel (see ETS 300 133-4 [1], figure 2). Both shall
be of the same batch type (i.e. same batch number), within the same subsequence and neither shall
contain the home operator identity.
7 User functions
7.1 General
Receiver functions are qualified as essential or optional.
Essential functions shall be implemented in so far as they are relevant to the particular receiver paging
category and shall be subject to type approval. Implementation of optional functions shall be left to the
manufacturers' discretion.
The basic version receiver within each receiver paging category is the receiver offering only the essential
functions.
Additional functions not mentioned in this standard are permitted provided that they do not conflict with the
radio interface and do not adversely affect the functions listed in this standard.
Any additional functions incorporated into the receiver shall be declared by the manufacturer.
Each receiver shall be individually identifiable.
7.2 Radio Identity Code
Each receiver shall have one basic Radio Identity Code (RIC).
Further additional RICs may be incorporated so long as the full receiver specification is satisfied for each
RIC.
Discrimination between calls on different RICs shall be offered.
