4.1 General
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as
appropriate. Further provisions related to test conditions for broadcasting service transmitters are specified in the
present document.
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.
For immunity tests, the output of the broadcast service transmitter shall be monitored as specified in the present
document, clause 4.2.2.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply with the following modifications.

Figure 4.1: Typical test arrangement for the performance assessment of broadcast service
transmitters
4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of the broadcast service
transmitter
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply, with the following modifications.
If the EUT incorporates base-band processing and/or coding equipment (e.g. a RDS encoder for a FM transmitter, or a
COFDM encoder for a digital television transmitter), then this equipment shall be active as in normal operation. The
manufacturer shall provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
If the EUT does not include integrated base-band processing and/or coding equipment, the manufacturer shall declare
whether the transmitter is designed for operation with or without encoder(s). The manufacturer shall clearly state this in
the product documentation.
If the EUT is designed for operation with externally fitted encoder(s), then it is left to the decision of the manufacturer
whether the transmitter shall be tested with such encoder(s). Depending on the manufacturer's decision, the
manufacturer may have to provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
In case of transposers, re-transmitters, on-channel repeaters and active deflectors, the wanted RF input signal, at a
frequency determined from the manufacturer's specification, shall be set to 3 dB above the EUT minimum input signal
level, as declared by the manufacturer.
In case of RF amplifiers, the wanted RF input signal at a level equal to the mid-point of the range declared by the
manufacturer shall be delivered from an adequate external modulator provided by the manufacturer. The modulator
shall be placed outside the test environment or be included in the system under test, whichever is applicable.
A broadcasting transmission shall be established at the start of the test and maintained during the test.
Any unused port of the EUT shall be terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the output of broadcast service
transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
Suitable precautions should be taken to ensure test equipment input levels are not exceeded (e.g. transmitters with high
conducted powers may use a suitable coupler to assess the output of the EUT).

4.3 RF exclusion bands
4.3.1 Introduction
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.3 shall apply with the modifications set out in the clauses 4.3.2.
4.3.2 Broadcast service transmitter exclusion bands
The exclusion bands for all broadcast technologies and transmitter types are provided in table 4.1.
Table 4.1: Broadcast Service Transmitter exclusion bands
Technology and transmitter class Exclusion band
AM: Transmitter The exclusion band for AM broadcasting transmitters shall
be ±500 % of the necessary bandwidth
DRM: Transmitter The exclusion band for AM broadcasting transmitters shall
be ±500 % of the necessary bandwidth
FM: Transmitter and power amplifier The exclusion band for FM broadcasting transmitters
and/or power amplifiers extends from fc - 300 kHz to
fc + 300 kHz, where fc is the operating frequency
T-DAB/DMB: Transmitter, RF Power Amplifier, MCOFDM, The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
On-Channel Repeater necessary bandwidth
DVB-T/T2: Transmitter and RF power amplifier The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
necessary bandwidth
DVB-T/T2: Active deflector, On-Channel Repeater, The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
Transposer necessary bandwidth
NOTE 1: For DVB-T/T2 active deflectors and On-Channel Repeaters, Special precautions shall be taken to avoid the
wanted RF output of the active deflector from disturbing the signal at the RF input port.
NOTE 2: For emission measurements, the transposer exclusion band shall comprise the exclusion band of the
transmitting element of the equipment under test only. For immunity tests with continuous phenomena, the
transposer exclusion bands shall comprise both the exclusion bands of the transmitting and receiving
elements of the equiment under test. For the receiver part of the transposer, the exclusion band takes into
account the blocking effect that may occur due to the high level of the immunity test field strength (10 V/m)
in regard to the RF input level of that receiver part (which is usually less than 1 mV).
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.4 shall apply during the immunity tests of On-Channel Repeaters,
transposers and active deflectors to continuous phenomena.
4.5 Normal test modulation
For the purpose of EMC tests, the transmitter under test shall be modulated according to the normal test modulation as
specified in table 4.2.

transmitters
4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of the broadcast service
transmitter
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply, with the following modifications.
If the EUT incorporates base-band processing and/or coding equipment (e.g. a RDS encoder for a FM transmitter, or a
COFDM encoder for a digital television transmitter), then this equipment shall be active as in normal operation. The
manufacturer shall provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
If the EUT does not include integrated base-band processing and/or coding equipment, the manufacturer shall declare
whether the transmitter is designed for operation with or without encoder(s). The manufacturer shall clearly state this in
the product documentation.
If the EUT is designed for operation with externally fitted encoder(s), then it is left to the decision of the manufacturer
whether the transmitter shall be tested with such encoder(s). Depending on the manufacturer's decision, the
manufacturer may have to provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
In case of transposers, re-transmitters, on-channel repeaters and active deflectors, the wanted RF input signal, at a
frequency determined from the manufacturer's specification, shall be set to 3 dB above the EUT minimum input signal
level, as declared by the manufacturer.
In case of RF amplifiers, the wanted RF input signal at a level equal to the mid-point of the range declared by the
manufacturer shall be delivered from an adequate external modulator provided by the manufacturer. The modulator
shall be placed outside the test environment or be included in the system under test, whichever is applicable.
A broadcasting transmission shall be established at the start of the test and maintained during the test.
Any unused port of the EUT shall be terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the output of broadcast service
transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
Suitable precautions should be taken to ensure test equipment input levels are not exceeded (e.g. transmitters with high
conducted powers may use a suitable coupler to assess the output of the EUT).

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as
appropriate. Further provisions related to test conditions for broadcasting service transmitters are specified in the
present document.
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.
For immunity tests, the output of the broadcast service transmitter shall be monitored as specified in the present
document, clause 4.2.2.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply with the following modifications.
Typical test arrangements to assess the performance of the broadcast service transmitter are shown in figure 4.1 for all
transmitter equipment types.

Figure 4.1: Typical test arrangement for the performance assessment of broadcast service
transmitters
4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals at the input of the broadcast service
transmitter
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply, with the following modifications.
If the EUT incorporates base-band processing and/or coding equipment (e.g. a RDS encoder for a FM transmitter, or a
COFDM encoder for a digital television transmitter), then this equipment shall be active as in normal operation. The
manufacturer shall provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
If the EUT does not include integrated base-band processing and/or coding equipment, the manufacturer shall declare
whether the transmitter is designed for operation with or without encoder(s). The manufacturer shall clearly state this in
the product documentation.
If the EUT is designed for operation with externally fitted encoder(s), then it is left to the decision of the manufacturer
whether the transmitter shall be tested with such encoder(s). Depending on the manufacturer's decision, the
manufacturer may have to provide reference encoders and the tests shall be carried out with these in operational mode.
In case of transposers, re-transmitters, on-channel repeaters and active deflectors, the wanted RF input signal, at a
frequency determined from the manufacturer's specification, shall be set to 3 dB above the EUT minimum input signal
level, as declared by the manufacturer.
In case of RF amplifiers, the wanted RF input signal at a level equal to the mid-point of the range declared by the
manufacturer shall be delivered from an adequate external modulator provided by the manufacturer. The modulator
shall be placed outside the test environment or be included in the system under test, whichever is applicable
A broadcasting transmission shall be established at the start of the test and maintained during the test.
Any unused port of the EUT shall be terminated according to the manufacturer's instructions.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the output of broadcast service
transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
Suitable precautions should be taken to ensure test equipment input levels are not exceeded (e.g. transmitters with high
conducted powers may use a suitable coupler to assess the output of the EUT).

4.3 RF exclusion bands
4.3.1 Introduction
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.3 shall apply with the modifications set out in the clauses 4.3.2.
4.3.2 Broadcast service transmitter exclusion bands
The exclusion bands for all broadcast technologies and transmitter types are provided in table 4.1.
Table 4.1: Broadcast Service Transmitter exclusion bands
Technology and transmitter class Exclusion band
AM: Transmitter The exclusion band for AM broadcasting transmitters shall
be ±500 % of the necessary bandwidth
DRM: Transmitter The exclusion band for AM broadcasting transmitters shall
be ±500 % of the necessary bandwidth
FM: Transmitter and power amplifier The exclusion band for FM broadcasting transmitters
and/or power amplifiers extends from fc - 300 kHz to fc +
300 kHz, where fc is the operating frequency
T-DAB/DMB: Transmitter, RF Power Amplifier, MCOFDM, The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
On-Channel Repeater necessary bandwidth
DVB-T/T2: Transmitter and RF power amplifier The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
necessary bandwidth
DVB-T/T2: Active deflector, On-Channel Repeater, The exclusion band extendds from be ±250 % of the
Transposer necessary bandwidth
NOTE 1: For DVB-T/T2 active deflectors and On-Channel Repeaters, Special precautions shall be taken to avoid the
wanted RF output of the active deflector from disturbing the signal at the RF input port.
NOTE 2: For emission measurements, the transposer exclusion band shall comprise the exclusion band of the
transmitting element of the equipment under test only. For immunity tests with continuous phenomena, the
transposer exclusion bands shall comprise both the exclusion bands of the transmitting and receiving
elements of the equiment under test. For the receiver part of the transposer, the exclusion band takes into
account the blocking effect that may occur due to the high level of the immunity test field strength (10 V/m)
in regard to the RF input level of that receiver part (which is usually less than 1 mV).
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.4 shall apply during the immunity tests of On-Channel Repeaters,
transposers and active deflectors to continuous phenomena.
4.5 Normal test modulation
For the purpose of EMC tests, the transmitter under test shall be modulated according to the normal test modulation as
specified in table 4.2.
