Overview

SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.3.1:2006 is a Slovenian adoption of the European standard for Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) in the context of digital cellular radio telecommunications systems, specifically GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) and DCS (Digital Cellular System). Developed under the scope of the ETSI EN 301 489 series, this standard outlines specific EMC conditions for mobile and portable radio and ancillary equipment that transmit and receive speech and/or data within these networks.

The standard ensures that radio equipment, including mobile phones and portable devices operating under Phase 1, Phase 2, and Phase 2+ GSM and DCS specifications, meet robust EMC requirements for reliable performance and minimal electromagnetic interference. While it covers mobile and portable equipment, base station equipment is excluded from its scope.

Key Topics

• Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Requirements:
  • Establishes stringent testing for emission and immunity to ensure proper functioning of digital cellular equipment in electromagnetic environments.
• Scope of Application:
  • Covers GSM and DCS mobile and portable radio equipment, as well as related ancillary devices.
  • Excludes technical specifications related to antenna and enclosure port emissions, which are handled in separate product standards.
• Test Conditions and Performance Assessment:
  • Includes details on the arrangements for test signals, calibration of audio performance, and assessment of continuous and transient phenomena.
  • Specifies required performance criteria, including maintenance of communication links and specific RXQUAL (Received Signal Quality) thresholds.
• Special Conditions:
  • Outlines modifications and additional requirements for testing ancillary equipment, and for devices used while connected to AC mains.
• Compliance Protocol:
  • Takes precedence over general methods in EN 301 489-1 whenever specific conditions are addressed in Part 7.

Applications

Practical applications of SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.3.1:2006 are significant for manufacturers, test houses, and regulatory authorities:

• Equipment Manufacturers:
  • Ensures GSM and DCS devices comply with EMC requirements, supporting market access and regulatory approval in Europe and other regions recognizing EN standards.
• Laboratories/Test Facilities:
  • Provides clear guidance on test setups, performance assessments, and documenting results for conformity assessment procedures.
• System Integrators and Vendors:
  • Supports quality assurance and reliability when deploying new digital cellular radio equipment, minimizing risk of electromagnetic interference that could impact performance or safety.
• Regulatory Compliance:
  • Helps organizations ensure products meet European EMC Directive requirements and relevant telecommunications legislation (such as the R&TTE Directive).
• Ancillary Equipment Providers:
  • Guides the evaluation of accessories such as chargers and audio sets when used with portable/mobile radio devices.

4 Test conditions For the purpose of the present document, the test conditions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as appropriate. Further product related test conditions for digital cellular mobile and portable radio equipment are specified in the present document. 4.1 General For emission and immunity tests the test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document, clauses 4.1 to 4.5, shall apply. Whenever the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner typical of normal intended use, unless specified otherwise. 4.2 Arrangements for test signals The provisions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply. 4.2.1 Arrangements for establishing a communications link The nominal frequency of the wanted RF input signal (for the receivers) shall be selected by setting the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) to an appropriate number (e.g. in case of GSM 900 MHz this is 60 to 65, and in case of GSM 1 800 MHz this is 690 to 706). A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system"). When the EUT is required to be in the transmit/receive mode, the following conditions shall be met: - the EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum transmit power; - the downlink RXQUAL shall be monitored. 4.2.1.1 Calibration of the overall audio link performance Prior to the test sequence, the reference level of the speech output signal on both the downlink and uplink shall be recorded on the test instrumentation, as shown in figure 1. If the equipment does not include acoustical transducers (e.g. a microphone or loudspeaker) the equivalent electrical reference levels shall be specified by the manufacturer. The voice processor may often apply noise and echo cancellation algorithms which attempt to eliminate or reduce steady state audio signals as e.g. the 1 kHz calibration signals. The calibration should be carried out with the noise and echo cancellation algorithms disabled. (Specific test software may be required). If the noise and echo cancellation algorithms cannot be disabled then the reference level of the speech output signal should be measured using a max-hold detection on the audio level meter in order to determine the level before the noise and echo cancellation algorithms become effective.
