of the laws of the Member States relating to the making available on the market of radio equipment and repealing

Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1].

Once the present document is cited in the Official Journal of the European Union under that Directive, compliance with

the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present

document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive and associated

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms

For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and the following apply:

amplitude imbalance: error caused by different amplification of the I and Q signals

antenna port: port of an apparatus which is designed, in normal operation, to be connected to an antenna using coaxial

cable

broadcasting service: radiocommunication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the

general public

NOTE: This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types of transmission.

channel bandwidth: frequency band of defined width (as a multiple of the carrier grid) including safety margin for

operation on adjacent channels, located symmetrically around a carrier frequency in the carrier grid

dBc: decibels relative to the unmodulated carrier power of the emission

NOTE: In the cases which do not have a carrier, for example in some digital modulation schemes where the

carrier is not accessible for measurement, the reference level equivalent to dBc is decibels relative to the

mean power P.

DRM transmitter: device comprising a DRM exciter, RF amplifier and RF system filter

enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge

NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.

harmonic: component of order greater than 1 of the Fourier series of a periodic quantity

harmonic number: integral number given by the ratio of the frequency of a harmonic to the fundamental frequency

NOTE: Second harmonic = 2 × fundamental frequency.

intermodulation products: unwanted frequencies resulting from intermodulation between carriers or harmonics of

emission, or between any oscillations generated to produce the carrier

mean power: average power supplied to the antenna port by a transmitter during an interval of time sufficiently long

compared with the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions

necessary bandwidth: width of the frequency band which is sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the

rate and with the quality required under specified conditions

out-of-band emissions: emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which

results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions
quadrature error: error caused by phase shift between the I and Q signals

rated output power: mean power that the transmitter delivers at its antenna port under specified conditions of

operation
reference bandwidth: bandwidth in which the emission level is specified

RF system filter: filter connected to the output of the RF amplifier to control output spectrum

NOTE: The RF system filter may be internal or external to the transmitter casing.

ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 Draft ETSI EN 302 245 V2.2.0 (2022-02)

spurious emissions: emission on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessary bandwidth and the level of

which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information

NOTE: Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and

frequency conversion products but exclude out-of-band emissions.
unwanted emissions: spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions

For the purposes of the present document spurious emissions are emissions at frequencies outside 500 % of the

necessary bandwidth.

The reference bandwidth used for spurious emissions measurements shall be as follows:

• 1 kHz between 9 kHz and 150 kHz;

3 Definition of terms, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Terms

For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] and the following apply:

amplitude imbalance: error caused by different amplification of the I and Q signals

antenna port: port of an apparatus which is designed, in normal operation, to be connected to an antenna using coaxial

cable

broadcasting service: radiocommunication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the

general public

NOTE: This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types of transmission.

channel bandwidth: frequency band of defined width (as a multiple of the carrier grid) including safety margin for

operation on adjacent channels, located symmetrically around a carrier frequency in the carrier grid

dBc: decibels relative to the unmodulated carrier power of the emission

NOTE: In the cases which do not have a carrier, for example in some digital modulation schemes where the

carrier is not accessible for measurement, the reference level equivalent to dBc is decibels relative to the

mean power P.

DRM transmitter: device comprising a DRM exciter, RF amplifier and RF system filter

enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge

NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.

harmonic: component of order greater than 1 of the Fourier series of a periodic quantity

harmonic number: integral number given by the ratio of the frequency of a harmonic to the fundamental frequency

NOTE: Second harmonic = 2 × fundamental frequency.

intermodulation products: unwanted frequencies resulting from intermodulation between carriers or harmonics of

emission, or between any oscillations generated to produce the carrier

mean power: average power supplied to the antenna port by a transmitter during an interval of time sufficiently long

compared with the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation envelope taken under normal operating conditions

necessary bandwidth: width of the frequency band which is sufficient to ensure the transmission of information at the

rate and with the quality required under specified conditions

out-of-band emissions: emission on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary bandwidth which

results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions
quadrature error: error caused by phase shift between the I and Q signals

rated output power: mean power that the transmitter delivers at its antenna port under specified conditions of

operation
reference bandwidth: bandwidth in which the emission level is specified

RF system filter: filter connected to the output of the RF amplifier to control output spectrum

NOTE: The RF system filter may be internal or external to the transmitter casing.

which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission of information

NOTE: Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and

frequency conversion products but exclude out-of-band emissions.
unwanted emissions: spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions
