Overview

SIST EN 301 489-54 V1.1.1:2023 is a harmonised European standard focused on ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC) for fixed ground-based radar systems, specifically aeronautical Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR), Surface Movement Radar (SMR), and meteorological radars such as weather radar systems and wind profilers. Developed by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) in alignment with ETSI, this standard outlines technical characteristics, testing methods, and conformity criteria for manufacturers and operators of radar equipment.

The main intent is to ensure that these radar systems operate reliably in their electromagnetic environment, without causing or suffering from detrimental electromagnetic interference (EMI), thus supporting safety and regulatory compliance across the European Union.

Key Topics

• Scope of Application

  • Fixed, ground-based monostatic radar systems for aeronautical and meteorological use
  • Operation within specific frequency bands:
    • 1 215 MHz to 1 400 MHz
    • 2 700 MHz to 3 100 MHz
    • 5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz
    • 8 500 MHz to 10 500 MHz
  • Systems powered exclusively by alternating current (AC)
  • Permanent or temporary fixed installations with rotating passive antennas

• Equipment Under Test (EUT)

  • Comprises transmitter, receiver, and signal processing units
  • Ancillary equipment is within scope only if located within radar enclosures

• EMC Requirements & Testing

  • Emission requirements apply for frequencies above 9 kHz
  • Radar to be assessed in all relevant modes (operating and standby)
  • Methods for emission and immunity measurements, referencing ETSI EN 301 489-1 with radar-specific adjustments
  • Special conditions for emission and immunity tests, including exclusion bands and required test signal levels

• Performance Criteria

  • Defined standards for acceptable performance during and after EMC testing (based on continuous/interrupted phenomena and voltage stability)
  • Use of built-in test equipment (BITE) to verify functional integrity during tests

• Regulatory Alignment

  • Supports essential EMC requirements of Directive 2014/53/EU (Radio Equipment Directive)
  • Presumption of conformity when applied as cited in the Official Journal of the European Union

Applications

The standard is critical for:

• Manufacturers of fixed ground-based radar systems seeking market access in the EU
• Aeronautical Authorities deploying or operating PSR and SMR for air traffic control and runway safety
• Meteorological Agencies installing weather radars or wind profilers for real-time atmospheric monitoring
• Test Laboratories conducting conformity assessments and preparing technical documentation for EMC compliance

Practical benefits include:

• Reliable operation: Ensures radar performance is not compromised by or does not create harmful electromagnetic emissions
• Safety: Reduces risk of interference that could affect air traffic surveillance or meteorological forecasting
• Market access: Fulfills legal requirements for products under the Radio Equipment Directive

Related Standards

• ETSI EN 301 489-1: Common technical requirements for EMC for radio equipment and services
• Directive 2014/53/EU: Regulation on the harmonisation of the laws relating to radio equipment within the EU
• EN 55032: Electromagnetic compatibility for multimedia equipment
• ITU Radio Regulations: International framework for radio-frequency emission and allocation

SIST EN 301 489-54 V1.1.1:2023 should be used in conjunction with these core standards to ensure full compliance and robust electromagnetic compatibility in the deployment and operation of fixed ground-based radar systems.

For the purposes of the present document the following terms apply:
ancillary equipment: electrical or electronic equipment, that is intended to be used with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE 1: It is considered as an ancillary equipment if:
 the equipment is intended for use with a receiver or transmitter to provide additional operational
and/or control features to the radio equipment (e.g. to extend control to another position or
location);
 the ancillary equipment cannot be used without being connected to radio equipment to provide user
functions independently of a receiver or transmitter; and
 the receiver or transmitter, to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended
operation such as transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment (i.e. it is not a
sub-unit of the main equipment essential to the main equipment basic functions).
NOTE 2: An example of ancillary equipment would be a docking station for radio equipment whose interface is
dedicated to a particular product or range of products.
antenna port: port, for connection of an antenna used for intentional transmission and/or reception of radiated RF

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurement in respect of ElectroMagnetic
Compatibility (EMC) for the following radar systems:
• Fixed and ground based monostatic aeronautical Primary Surveillance Radar (PSR) and Surface Movement
Radar (SMR)
• Fixed and ground based monostatic meteorological radar system, for example weather radar systems or wind
profiler
with the following characteristics:
• operating in at least one of the frequency ranges as shown in table 1;
• operated only by AC power.
The above mentioned radio equipment is intended to be used at a fixed location (permanent or temporarily) and is
equipped with rotating passive antennas.
A radar system consists of one or more enclosures that contain at least the following radar functionalities: transmitter,
receiver, signal processing. Other parts which are not part of the radar functionality e.g. local UPS, air conditioning
equipment, dehumidifying equipment, communication network equipment, etc., are not in the scope of the present
document, unless these parts are implemented inside the radar system enclosure(s).

and meteorological radar systems
Operating frequency ranges
1 215 MHz to 1 400 MHz
2 700 MHz to 3 100 MHz
5 250 MHz to 5 850 MHz
8 500 MHz to 10 500 MHz
Technical specifications related to the antenna port of the radio equipment are not included in the present document.
Such technical specifications are found in the relevant product standards under article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].
Emission requirements in the present document are specified for frequencies above 9 kHz.
The environmental classification and the emission and immunity requirements used in the present document are as
stated in ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any special conditions included in the present document.
