Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Short Range Devices (SRD); Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar applications; Part 1: Technical characteristics and test methods

The present document specifies the requirements for Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar applications operating in all or part of the frequency band from 30 MHz to 12,4 GHz. Ground Probing Radars (GPR) and Wall Probing Radars (WPR) are used in survey and detection applications. The scope is limited to radars operated as short range devices (because of their usage and design), in which the system is in close proximity to the materials being investigated. It does not include radars operated from aircraft or spacecraft. The radar applications in the present document are not intended for communications purposes. Their intended usage excludes radiation into the free space and means shall be taken to keep it to a minimum.
NOTE 1: Equipment using the frequencies typically below 100 MHz may use higher output power for geophysical applications and therefore, may not fulfil the emission requirements set out in the present document.
NOTE 2: Equipment covered by the present document is used by competent professional personnel. The present document applies to:
1) Ground Probing Radars (GPR) operating over approximately one decade in the frequency range 30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly downwards into the ground. Any horizontal radiation from this equipment is caused by leakage and is considered as undesired emission.
2) Wall Probing Radars (WPR) operating in the frequency range 30 MHz to 12,4 GHz radiating directly into a "wall". The "wall" is a building material structure, the side of a bridge, the wall of a mine or another physical structure that absorbs a significant part of the signal transmitted by the radar.
3) Equipment fitted with integral antennas and without antenna connector.
4) Equipment which uses different imaging heads (antennas) with an antenna connector, to allow operation at different frequencies.
The present document does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. The present document contains the technical characteristics and test methods for Ground- and Wall- Probing Radar applications.

Equipment shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment needed for testing. The provider shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power requirements, as applicable, in order to establish the appropriate test conditions. 4.1.1 Choice of model for testing If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory. In addition, when a device has the capability of using different imaging heads, each one shall be tested independently. 4.2 Mechanical and electrical design The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services. Transmitters and receivers may be individual or combination units. 4.3 Auxiliary test equipment All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing. 4.4 General requirements for RF cables Due to the low power levels involved in the measurements, all RF cables including their connectors at both ends used within the measurement arrangements and set-ups shall be of coaxial type featuring within the frequency range they are used: • a nominal characteristic impedance of 50 Ω; • a VSWR of less than 1,2 at either end; • a shielding loss in excess of 60 dB. 4.5 Interpretation of the measurement results The interpretation of the results recorded on the appropriate test report for the measurements described in the present document shall be as follows: • the measured value relating to the corresponding limit shall be used to decide whether an equipment meets the requirements of the present document; • the measurement uncertainty value for the measurement of each parameter shall be included in the test report; • the recorded value of the measurement uncertainty shall, for each measurement, be equal to, or lower than, the figures in the table of measurement uncertainty (clause 7).

ETSI Final draft ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 10 5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient temperatures 5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions Testing shall be made under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions. The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4. 5.2 External test power source During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and extreme test voltages. The internal impedance of the external test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment. During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements. 5.3 Normal test conditions 5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and humidity within the following ranges: • temperature:
+15°C to +35°C; • relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %. When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient temperature and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report. 5.3.2 Normal test power source The internal impedance of the test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. For the purpose of the tests, the voltage of the external test power source shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment. 5.3.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source The normal test voltage for equipment shall be a regulated lead-acid battery power source. For the purpose of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the equipment was designed. When the radio equipment is intended for operation with the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source, the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (e.g. 6 V, 12 V, etc.). 5.3.2.2 Other power sources For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that declared by the provider. Such values shall be stated in the test report. SIST EN 302 066-1 V1.1.1:2006

The equipment shall not be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period. If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or such period as may be decided by the accredited test laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen, and the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that excessive condensation does not occur. 5.4.1.2 Extreme temperature ranges For tests at extreme temperatures, measurements shall be made in accordance with the procedures specified in clause 5.4.1.1, at the upper and lower temperatures of one of the following limits: • temperature: -20°C to +55°C. 5.4.2 Extreme test source voltages 5.4.2.1 Regulated lead-acid battery power source
The extreme test voltages for equipment shall be the nominal voltage ±10 %. 5.4.2.2 Other power sources For equipment using other power sources, or capable of being operated from a variety of power sources, the extreme test voltages shall be that declared by the provider. These shall be recorded in the test report. 6 General conditions 6.1 Radiated measurement arrangements Detailed descriptions of the radiated measurement arrangements are included in annex A. In general, measurements shall be carried out under far field conditions. The far field condition for the EUTs is considered to be fulfilled in a minimum radial distance "X" that shall be a minimum of 2d2/λ, where d = largest dimension of the antenna aperture of the EUT, for a single device measurement. Absolute power measurements shall be made using an appropriate method to ensure that the wave front is properly formed (i.e. operating in far field conditions). The test site shall meet the appropriate requirements as defined in published guidelines/standards. It may not be possible to measure at the power limits without low-noise amplification to reduce the overall noise figure of the overall measurement system at a separation of approximately 3 meters in an RF quite environment. Move to lower separation distance may be required since the instrumentation noise floor should be as high as 10 dB above the limit within the instrument bandwidth. SIST EN 302 066-1 V1.1.1:2006



ETSI Final draft ETSI EN 302 066-1 V1.1.1 (2005-06) 12 6.2 Measuring receiver The term measuring receiver refers to a spectrum analyser. The reference bandwidth of the measuring receiver as defined in CISPR 16-1 [1] shall be as given in table 1. Table 1: Reference bandwidth of measuring receiver Frequency being measured: f
Spectrum analyser bandwidth (3 dB) 30 MHz ≤ f < 1 000 MHz 100 kHz 1 000 MHz ≤ f 1 MHz
7 Measurement uncertainty Interpretation of the results recorded in the test report for the measurements described in the present document shall be as follows: • the measured value related to the corresponding limit shall be used to decide whether an equipment meets the requirements of the present document; • the value of the measurement uncertainty for the measurement of each parameter shall be separately included in the test report; • the value of the measurement uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or lower than the figures in table 2. Table 2: Measurement uncertainty Parameter Uncertainty RF frequency ±1 × 10-7 RF power, radiated ±6 dB Temperature ±1 K
Humidity ±5 %
For the test methods, according to the present document the uncertainty figures shall be calculated according to the methods described in TR 100 028 [5] and shall correspond to an expansion factor (coverage factor) k = 1,96 or k = 2 (which provide confidence levels of respectively 95 % and 95,45 % in cases where the distributions characterizing the actual measurement uncertainties are normal (Gaussian)). Table 2 is based on such expansion factors. The particular expansion factor used for the evaluation of the measurement uncertainty shall be stated. 8 Methods of measurement and limits Where the transmitter is designed with adjustable carrier power, then all transmitter parameters shall be measured using the highest peak power level, as declared by the provider. When making transmitter tests on equipment designed for in
