Multi-channel COFDM (MCOFDM): transmission system that generates more than one OFDM block with an overall

on-channel repeater: complex low to medium power transmitter which receives an input signal off-air, then using

echo-cancellation techniques (designed to minimize parasitic feedback between the input and output), amplifies and

rated output power: conducted power that the broadcast service transmitter delivers at its final output under specific

appropriate. Further provisions related to test conditions for broadcasting service transmitters are specified in the

For emission and immunity tests the test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document,

For immunity tests, the output of the broadcast service transmitter shall be monitored as specified in the present

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

Figure 4.1: Typical test arrangement for the performance assessment of broadcast service

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

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

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.

Suitable precautions should be taken to ensure test equipment input levels are not exceeded (e.g. transmitters with high

transmitting element of the equipment under test only. For immunity tests with continuous phenomena, the
