The rapidly increasing quantities of wireless microphones (hereafter referredto as radio microphones) in operation, both legal and illegal, together with the greater mobility of the users, eitherprofessional or private, has led to a serious situation with many occurrences of interference and irregular operation.Legal radio microphones, being fundamentally low power devices, are interfered with more than the generators of theinterference, and suffer primarily from this situation.In preparing the present document, much attention has been given to assure a low interference probability, while at thesame time allowing a maximum flexibility and service to the end-user.SIST EN 300 422 V1.2.1:2003
ETSIETSI EN 300 422 V1.2.1 (1999-07)7The present document provides the necessary parameters for equipment to obtain common approval throughout Europe.It also is intended to make it easier for the frequency management authorities to find harmonized frequency allocations.Common technical specifications and harmonized frequency allocations are expected to reduce greatly the presentproblems of interference and illegal use.The present document is a type testing standard based on spectrum utilization parameters and does not includeperformance characteristics that may be required by the user or requirements for interfacing equipment.The present document is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement of RadioMicrophones and In-ear monitoring systems as specified in the scope. In-ear monitoring systems may be tested to eitherthe present document (< 200 kHz max. occupied bandwidth) or to EN 301 357 [9] (< 300 kHz max. occupiedbandwidth) with due consideration of power and operating frequency.Since the initial adoption of I-ETS 300 422 there has been the introduction of further types of equipment - Cordlessheadphones/loudspeakers and consumer In-ear monitoring. These are low power wideband systems that have somecharacteristics in common with radio microphones but are not compatible with multichannel radio microphones. Thisequipment is covered by EN 301 357 [9].The present document also covers radio microphones used in the 863 MHz to 865MHz band, with a maximum power of10 mW.Type test measurements should be performed in one of the accredited test laboratories, accepted by the various nationalregulatory authorities in order to grant type approval, provided the national regulatory requirements are met. This is incompliance with CEPT/ERC Recommendation 01-06 [2] and ERC Decision ERC/DEC(97) 10 [3].In addition, national administrations may accept a "certificate of conformity" based on a type test report. If equipmentavailable on the market is required to be checked, it should be tested in accordance with the methods of measurementspecified in the present document.SIST EN 300 422 V1.2.1:2003
ETSIETSI EN 300 422 V1.2.1 (1999-07)81ScopeThe present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of theavailable frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does itnecessarily represent the optimum performance achievable.The present document applies to equipment with modulation systems operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHzand 3 GHz. Although analogue Frequency Modulation (FM) is at present used for the majority of radio microphones andother equipment covered by the present document, this specification does not preclude any other constant carriermodulation technique, e.g. Gaussian Filtered Minimum Shift Keying (GMSK) or Generalized Tamed FrequencyModulation (GTFM), provided that the modulation spectrum lies within a standardized spectral mask.The present document does not apply to radio microphones or in ear monitoring equipment employing Time DivisionMultiple Access (TDMA), frequency hopping and spread spectrum or similar forms of modulation.Electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by ETS 300 445 [8].Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment intended to interface to the Public SwitchedTelephone Network (PSTN). This facility may be submitted to regulatory conditions.The present document may be used by accredited test laboratories for type testing of the equipment. The performance ofthe equipment submitted for type testing should be representative of the performance of the corresponding productionmodels.The present document contains instructions for the presentation of equipment for type testing purposes.Power limits recommended in the present document have been chosen to allow maximum simultaneous reusage offrequency allocations. National regulations on power output may apply up to the limits quoted below.NOTE:For higher power equipment reference should be made to ETS 300 454 [7] Wide band audio links.Equipmenteffective radiated power (erp)or conductedClass 1Class 2Radio Microphones50 mW2 mWIn ear monitoring10 mW2 mWTour guide systems10 mW2 mWAids for the handicapped10 mW2 mWThe types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:-professional hand held radio microphones;-professional body worn radio microphones;-in ear monitoring systems;-consumer radio microphones;-tour guide systems;-aids for the handicapped.The classes of equipment given in the present document are as follows:-class 1 equipment would normally be considered as a category requiring an operator licence;-class 2 equipment would be considered in some countries as not requiring an operator licence.SIST EN 300 422 V1.2.1:2003
