SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1, a harmonized European standard for VHF transmitters and receivers used as Coast Stations for GMDSS and other maritime mobile service applications. It specifies the spectrum-related technical requirements and conformity tests for equipment covered by article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive, mainly for manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformity assessors.

What does SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 specify?

SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 specifies the harmonized radio-spectrum requirements for VHF coast-station transmitters, receivers, and transceivers with external antenna connectors. The document is written for equipment operating in the maritime mobile service with analogue speech, Digital Selective Calling (DSC), or both.

Clause 1 limits the scope to equipment used as coast stations in the VHF band, including local or remote control, 25 kHz channel spacing, simplex, semi-duplex, and duplex operation, and single- or multi-channel equipment. Clause 1 also states that other ENs may apply for the other essential requirements of the R&TTE Directive.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004?

SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 is built around a set of transmitter and receiver performance requirements, plus the test methods used to check them. In practice, the document tells a supplier what to measure, how to measure it, and which reference document gives the detailed limit values.

Environmental and operating conditions

Clause 4.1 requires compliance only within the relevant environmental profile for the equipment’s environmental class. For users, that means the declared operating environment matters: the equipment must meet the radio requirements while operating inside its specified conditions.

Transmitter performance

Clause 4.2 covers transmitter frequency error, carrier power, frequency deviation, adjacent channel power, conducted spurious emissions to the antenna, cabinet radiation and other spurious emissions, DSC transmitter modulation index, transient frequency behaviour, and intermodulation attenuation. The limits for these items are taken from SIST EN 301 929-1, and clause 5.3 gives the matching test methods.

Receiver and DSC receiver performance

Clause 4.2 also covers receiver maximum usable sensitivity, co-channel rejection, adjacent channel selectivity, spurious response, intermodulation response, blocking or desensitization, spurious emissions at the antenna, cabinet radiated spurious emissions, DSC receiver sensitivity and selectivity, and duplex desensitization. For a product team, this is the part that shows how well the receiver must handle weak wanted signals and strong unwanted signals.

DSC-related applicability

Annex A marks several DSC receiver requirements as optional in the sense that they apply when DSC is implemented. If a product includes DSC, those requirements become part of the declared conformity set.

Testing and measurement uncertainty

Clause 5.1 points to the environmental and test conditions in EN 301 929-1. Clause 5.2 requires the test report to include measurement uncertainty and says results are judged against the limits using the uncertainty approach from ETR 028. Table 1 gives the maximum uncertainty figures, and ETR 273 adds guidance for radiated test sites.

EN-RT conformity summary

Annex A provides the EN Requirements Table (EN-RT). This is the practical checklist for static conformity assessment: it summarizes the requirements and shows which are mandatory and which are conditional.

What terms does SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 define?

• Environmental profile - the range of environmental conditions under which equipment in scope is required to comply.
• G3E - phase modulation for analogue speech, with 6 dB/octave pre-emphasis.
• G2B - phase modulation with digital information and a sub-carrier for DSC operation.
• Digital Selective Calling (DSC) - the signalling function used for digital calling and related receiver and transmitter tests.
• Modulation index - the ratio between frequency deviation and modulation frequency.
• VHF - Very High Frequency, the band used by the coast-station equipment in scope.

Who uses SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004?

Manufacturers use SIST EN 301 929-2 V1.1.1:2004 when designing VHF coast-station transmitters, receivers, and transceivers for the maritime mobile service. Test laboratories use it to run transmitter and receiver measurements and write conformity reports.

It is also used by conformity assessors, procurement teams, and operators dealing with GMDSS coast stations, especially when they need a clear technical basis for radio-spectrum compliance.

Foreword This Candidate Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued under Council Directive 98/34/EC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of technical standards and regulations. The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive" [1]). The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering VHF transmitters and receivers as Coast Stations for GMDSS and other applications in the maritime mobile service, as identified below: Part 1: "Technical characteristics and methods of measurement"; Part 2: "Harmonized EN under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".

Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to be specified by function or interface type. The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
