equipment, which shall be declared by the manufacturer. The equipment shall comply with all the technical
requirements of the present document which are identified as applicable in annex A at all times when operating within
the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile.
4.2 Test conditions
4.2.1 Introduction
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4 shall apply as
appropriate. Further product related test conditions for wireless microphones, similar RF audio link equipment, cordless
audio, in-ear monitoring equipment and ancillary equipment are specified in the present document.
4.2.2 General
For emission and immunity tests the test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document,
clauses 4.2 to 4.6 shall apply.
For the purpose of EMC tests, body worn or hand held transmitters shall be mounted on a non-conductive stand at least
0,8 m from any conducting surface. The EUT and any other equipment required for the performance assessment before,
during, and after the conclusion of the tests, shall be connected in a manner typical of normal intended use.
Whenever the EUT is provided with a detachable antenna, it shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner typical
of normal intended use.
For immunity tests, if the equipment is of a category which permits it, a communications link shall be established at the
start of the test and maintained during the test.
The test conditions shall be as follows:
• the transmitter shall be operated at its normal maximum RF output power modulated with a suitable
modulation signal (see clause 4.6.1);
• for stand alone receivers or receivers of transceivers operating in simplex mode, the wanted RF input signal,
coupled to the receiver, shall be modulated with a suitable modulation signal (see clause 4.6.2);
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 301 489-9 V2.1.1 (2019-04)
• for duplex transceivers, the wanted RF input signal, coupled to the receiver, shall be modulated with a suitable
modulation signal (see clause 4.6.2). The transmitter shall be operated at its normal maximum output power,
modulated with the test modulation signal, coupled to the transmitter from the output of the receiver (repeater
mode);
• digitally modulated systems shall use a defined interface to convert between analogue and digital domain (and
vice versa).
4.3 Arrangements for test signals
4.3.1 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply.
4.3.2 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply with the following modifications.
For transmitters designed to operate from an integral or dedicated microphone (see figure 2) it shall be permissible to
use an acoustic coupling device to inject the normal test modulation signal (see figure 3). The acoustic coupling device
may be provided by the manufacturer.
For equipment which can use a variety of audio capsules, the manufacturer shall declare the type of capsule,
e.g. dynamic, electret, or condenser, to be provided with the system. Only one type of capsule shall be tested. All other
capsules shall be deemed as compliant. The transmitter shall be tested at its most sensitive input with the test capsule.
For equipment not designed to use an integral or dedicated microphone, the test signal shall be fed in electrical form to
the most sensitive input socket (see figure 1) using maximum length cables as normally supplied by the manufacturer
with the equipment.
The modulation signal used for the tests shall be a 1 kHz sine wave tone at a level declared by the manufacturer to
obtain 100 % audio modulation.
The manufacturer may provide a suitable companion receiver that can be used to set up a communications link. In this
case a suitable attenuator in the companion receiver input may be necessary, see annex B for further details.
In the case of systems with a digital audio input and outputs this test signal has to be presented via a suitable test fixture
converting the analogue signal to the digital domain and vice-versa. The applicant shall provide details on the interface
and test fixture used for the test.
4.3.3 Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
4.3.4 Arrangements for test signals at the input of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.3 shall apply with the following modifications.
The wanted RF input signal to the receiver should be modulated with a suitable signal corresponding to 100 % audio
modulation (maximum channel loading). If it is not appropriate to provide a modulated RF signal to the receiver, the
test may be performed using an unmodulated wanted RF input signal.
The level and make up of the wanted RF input signal shall be declared by the manufacturer. The level chosen shall be
set to a value 60 dB above the threshold sensitivity of the receiver. Other systems than analogue radio microphones can
define another level more in line with the application. The level used shall be recorded in the test report.
The manufacturer may provide a suitable companion transmitter that can be used to set up a communications link. In
this case a suitable attenuator in the EUT input may be necessary.
