Overview

SIST EN 301 489-11 V1.2.1:2003 addresses Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements for terrestrial sound broadcasting service transmitters. Published by the Slovenian Institute for Standardization (SIST) and identical to EN 301 489-11 V1.2.1, this standard specifies testing conditions, performance criteria, and assessment processes to ensure radio equipment used for terrestrial sound broadcasting does not cause or become susceptible to electromagnetic interference.

Part of the multi-part EN 301 489 EMC standard issued by ETSI, this document targets transmitters, exciters, transposers, active deflectors, and associated ancillary equipment for radio broadcasting. It removes editorial inconsistencies with other parts of the series, harmonizes requirements, and provides detailed guidelines for EMC emission and immunity testing for broadcasting service transmitters.

Key Topics

• Scope and Coverage

  • Applies to a range of terrestrial sound broadcasting transmitters, including AM, FM, DRM, and DAB-T types.
  • Encompasses equipment such as transmitters, exciters, RF power amplifiers, transposers, and active deflectors.

• Definitions and Terminology

  • Clarity on equipment functions, such as transposers (rebroadcasting on a different frequency) and active deflectors (rebroadcasting on the same frequency).
  • Key abbreviations include FM, AM, DRM, DAB-T, VHF, LF, MF, and HF.

• Test Conditions

  • Detailed arrangements for applying test signals for different types of transmitters.
  • Test setups for emission and immunity evaluations are precisely described.
  • Procedures for modulating transmitters during tests and terminating unused ports.

• Performance Assessment

  • Specifies performance parameters and criteria for continuous and transient electromagnetic phenomena.
  • Requires monitoring key output metrics, such as RF power variation and audio signal-to-noise ratio during tests.
  • Ensures that after exposure to EMC stress, normal operation and data integrity are maintained and that no false alarms occur.

• Emission and Immunity Testing

  • Outlines specific frequency exclusion bands to avoid misinterpretation of results.
  • Distinguishes testing methods and limits based on equipment power and type.
  • Tailored test levels for immunity tests using internationally recognized methods, such as EN 55011 and EN 61000-4-3.

Applications

This EMC standard is critical for:

• Broadcasters and Manufacturers

  • Ensuring new or modified broadcast transmitters meet mandatory EMC requirements.
  • Demonstrating compliance with European Directive 2014/30/EU (EMC Directive) and relevant CE marking requirements.
  • Supporting product development for AM, FM, DRM, and DAB-T transmitters for terrestrial sound broadcasting.

• Testing Laboratories

  • Providing harmonized testing protocols suitable for type approval and verification.
  • Streamlining arrangements for test signals, test environment, and data collection.

• Regulatory Authorities

  • Guiding market surveillance and conformity assessment for radio broadcasting equipment.
  • Facilitating mutual recognition of compliance across European markets.

Related Standards

• EN 301 489-1: General EMC requirements for radio equipment and services, to be used in conjunction with Part 11 for terrestrial sound broadcasting.

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 Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of
the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (89/336/EEC [2] as amended) and
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" [3]).
The present document is part 11 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [1].

1 Scope
The present document, together with EN 301 489-1 [1], covers the assessment of transmitters, exciters, and any
associated ancillary equipment dedicated for radio broadcasting services, in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility
(EMC).
Technical specifications related to the antenna port emissions and cabinet radiation are not included in the present
document. Such technical specifications are found in the relevant product standards of ETSI for the effective use of the
radio spectrum.
The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for
terrestrial sound broadcasting transmitters and their associated ancillary equipment.
Definitions of the type of broadcast transmitters and exciters covered by the present document are given in annex A.
In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present
document and EN 301 489-1 [1], the provisions of the present document take precedence.
The environmental classification and the emission and immunity requirements used in the present document are as
stated in EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any specific conditions included in the present document, under which broadcast
service transmitters are typically used.
The present document may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena or continuous phenomena is permanently present, e.g. a radar 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.
