Page 9ETS 300 684: January 19971ScopeThis European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication andancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of measurement, the limits and the minimumperformance criteria for radio equipment intended to be used by radio amateurs within the meaning ofarticle 1, definition 53 of the Radio Regulations in the International Telecommunications Convention andwhich is available commercially.This ETS applies to amateur radio equipment either manufactured commercially as ready-to-useequipment or as modules or as components having an intrinsic functionality.The environment classifications used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in thegeneric standards EN 50081-1 [1], EN 50082-1 [2], except the vehicular environment class which refers toISO 7637 [13], [14].The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus inresidential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels however, do not coverextreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence.This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producingindividually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomena is permanently present, e.g. aradar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protectionapplied to either the source of interference or the interfered part or both.Compliance of radio equipment with the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to anyrequirements related to the use of the equipment (for example, licensing requirements).Compliance to this ETS does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is theresponsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observation regarding the equipment becomingdangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests of this ETS, should be properlydocumented.2Normative referencesThis ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. Thesenormative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listedhereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publicationsapply to this ETS only when incorporated in it by amendment or revision. For undated references, thelatest edition of the publication referred to applies.[1]EN 50081-1: "Electromagnetic compatibility - Generic emission standard -Part 1: Residential, commercial and light industry".[2]EN 50082-1: "Electromagnetic compatibility - Generic immunity standard -Part 1: Residential, commercial and light industry".[3]89/336/EEC: "Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the MemberStates relating to electromagnetic compatibility".[4]ITU Radio Regulations 1 - 18.[5]EN 55022: "Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbancecharacteristics of information technology equipment".[6]CISPR 16-1: "Specification for radio disturbance and immunity measuringapparatus and methods - Part 1: Radio disturbance and immunity measuringapparatus".[7]ENV 50140: "Electromagnetic Compatibility - Basic immunity standard -Radiated, radio-frequency electromagnetic field.

An integral antenna may be fitted internally orexternally to the equipment.Manufacturer (SUPPLIER):
The legal entity responsible under the terms of the Council Directive89/336/EEC [3], for placing the product on the market in an EU member state.maximum usable sensitivity: Minimum receiver Radio Frequency (RF) input signal level to produce aspecified analogue SINAD ratio or Bit Error Ratio (BER), or other specified output quality measure, whichis input signal level related.mobile equipment: Used to describe all amateur radio equipment powered by a vehicular power supply.spurious emissions: Emissions on a frequency or frequencies which are outside the necessarybandwidth and the level of which may be reduced without affecting the corresponding transmission ofinformation. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulationproducts and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions.out-of-band emissions: Emissions on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessarybandwidth which results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions.unwanted emission: Consists of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions.SIST ETS 300 684:1998



Page 11ETS 300 684: January 1997port: A particular interface of the specified apparatus with the external electromagnetic environment. Anyconnection point to an equipment intended for connection of cables to or from that equipment isconsidered as a port (see figure 1).APPARATUSEnclosure portAC power portDC power portEarth portSignal/control portAntenna portFigure 1: Examples of portsenclosure port: The physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields mayradiate or impinge.portable equipment: Used to describe all portable amateur radio equipment powered by an internal(and/or) external battery.NOTE 1:More than one of the equipment classifications may apply to certain equipment asdescribed in subclause 5.2 depending upon the manufacturer's declaration of normalintended use.ancillary equipment: Equipment (apparatus), used in connection with a receiver, transmitter ortransceiver is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:-the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a receiver, transmitter or transceiver toprovide additional operational and/or control features to the radio equipment (e.g. to extend controlto another position or location); and-the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis to provide user functions independently of areceiver, transmitter or transceiver; and-the receiver, transmitter or transceiver to which it is connected, is capable of providing someintended operation such as transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment. (i.e. it isnot a sub unit of the main equipment essential to the main equipment’s basic functions).support equipment: This is equipment that can be used with the EUT, but which has functionality whenused alone. Modems and/or PC connections are also to be regarded as support equipment, and not asancillary equipment.NOTE 2: The philosophy depends on the manufacturer. It is up to him to declare, for example,his power supply unit as an integral part of his radio equipment or as a stand-aloneitem which would be declared compliant separately. Typical examples of ancillaryequipment include: microphones, loudspeakers, morse keys (manual orautomatic/electronic), desktop 'drop-in' battery chargers for hand-held portables.Remote front-panels may be considered as ancillary equipment only if the radio has anintegral, permanent front panel as well. Otherwise, demountable front-panels shouldbe considered as an integral part of the EUT. Embedded PCB assemblies sold asoptions, which increase or change the EUT functionality, are regarded as integral tothe EUT and not as ancillary equipment. Snap-on battery packs are also integral partsof the EUT and not ancillary equipment. Plug-in or screw-on whip antennas areregarded as integral parts of the EUT and not ancillary equipment, even if the interfaceis a 50 W connector.SIST ETS 300 684:1998

1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication and
ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the methods of measurement, the limits and the minimum
performance criteria for radio equipment intended to be used by radio amateurs within the meaning of
article 1, definition 53 of the Radio Regulations in the International Telecommunications Convention and
which is available commercially.
This ETS applies to amateur radio equipment either manufactured commercially as ready-to-use
equipment or as modules or as components having an intrinsic functionality.
The environment classifications used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in the
generic standards EN 50081-1 [1], EN 50082-1 [2], except the vehicular environment class which refers to
ISO 7637 [13], [14].
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus in
residential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels however, do not cover
extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence.
This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or a continuous phenomena is permanently present, e.g. a
radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection
applied to either the source of interference or the interfered part or both.
Compliance of radio equipment with the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to any
requirements related to the use of the equipment (for example, licensing requirements).
Compliance to this ETS does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the
responsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observation regarding the equipment becoming
dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests of this ETS, should be properly
documented.

3 Definitions, abbreviations and symbols
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of this ETS, the following definitions apply:
base station equipment: Used to describe amateur radio equipment which is powered from the public
AC power network, either directly or indirectly to an AC/DC converter.
integral antenna: An antenna designed to be connected to the equipment without the use of an external
connector and considered to be part of the equipment. An integral antenna may be fitted internally or
externally to the equipment.
Manufacturer (SUPPLIER): The legal entity responsible under the terms of the Council Directive
89/336/EEC [3], for placing the product on the market in an EU member state.
maximum usable sensitivity: Minimum receiver Radio Frequency (RF) input signal level to produce a
specified analogue SINAD ratio or Bit Error Ratio (BER), or other specified output quality measure, which
is input signal level related.
mobile equipment: Used to describe all amateur radio equipment powered by a vehicular power supply.
spurious emissions: Emissions 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. Spurious emissions include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation
products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out-of-band emissions.
out-of-band emissions: Emissions on a frequency or frequencies immediately outside the necessary
bandwidth which results from the modulation process, but excluding spurious emissions.
unwanted emission: Consists of spurious emissions and out-of-band emissions.

port: A particular interface of the specified apparatus with the external electromagnetic environment. Any
connection point to an equipment intended for connection of cables to or from that equipment is
considered as a port (see figure 1).
Antenna port
AC power port Earth port
APPARATUS
DC power port Signal/control port
Enclosure port
Figure 1: Examples of ports
enclosure port: The physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may
radiate or impinge.
portable equipment: Used to describe all portable amateur radio equipment powered by an internal
(and/or) external battery.
NOTE 1: More than one of the equipment classifications may apply to certain equipment as
described in subclause 5.2 depending upon the manufacturer's declaration of normal
intended use.
ancillary equipment: Equipment (apparatus), used in connection with a receiver, transmitter or
transceiver is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
- the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a receiver, transmitter or transceiver to
provide additional operational and/or control features to the radio equipment (e.g. to extend control
to another position or location); and
- the equipment cannot be used on a stand alone basis to provide user functions independently of a
receiver, transmitter or transceiver; and
- the receiver, transmitter or transceiver 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’s basic functions).
support equipment: This is equipment that can be used with the EUT, but which has functionality when
used alone. Modems and/or PC connections are also to be regarded as support equipment, and not as
ancillary equipment.
NOTE 2: The philosophy depends on the manufacturer. It is up to him to declare, for example,
his power supply unit as an integral part of his radio equipment or as a stand-alone
item which would be declared compliant separately. Typical examples of ancillary
equipment
