SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 is the Slovenian national edition of ETSI EN 301 489-7, a harmonised EMC standard for mobile and portable GSM and DCS radio equipment and associated ancillary equipment. It specifies the test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria used to check electromagnetic compatibility for speech and/or data equipment in digital cellular radio telecommunications systems. The document is used together with EN 301 489-1, which provides the common technical requirements.

What does SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 specifies the EMC assessment of Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 2+ GSM and DCS mobile and portable radio equipment, plus associated ancillary equipment. It is focused on product-specific test arrangements and criteria, while EN 301 489-1 provides the shared EMC framework.

The scope covers equipment that transmits and receives speech and/or data in digital cellular radio telecommunications systems. It excludes antenna-port and enclosure-port spectrum specifications, which are handled by the relevant radio product standards, and it excludes base station equipment in the network infrastructure. It also excludes equipment covered by the Marine Equipment Directive, while still covering mobile or portable equipment used in a fixed location when powered from AC mains.

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	Examples of mobile and portable radio equipment and ancillary equipment within scope
Annex B	Bibliography

The document is organized into scope, references, definitions and abbreviations, test conditions, performance assessment, performance criteria, and an applicability overview. That structure matters because the laboratory setup, the pass/fail criteria, and the special-case conditions are all split between the common part and this product-specific part.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 requires testing to follow EN 301 489-1 unless this part gives a special condition. In practice, that means the lab starts from the common EMC methods and then applies GSM/DCS-specific arrangements for calls, audio monitoring and idle mode.

Test conditions and signal setup

Clause 4 requires a communications link to be established with a suitable base station simulator before immunity testing. For transmitter tests, the EUT is commanded to maximum transmit power and the downlink RXQUAL is monitored. This matters because the device has to be tested while it is actually operating as a radio terminal, not just as a powered box.

Clause 4.2.1 sets the calibration of the uplink and downlink audio paths, including special handling for voice processors that use noise or echo cancellation. The practical effect is that the reference audio levels used later in the test have to reflect the intended speech path, not a signal that is being altered by processing.

Clause 4.2.6 defines idle mode for this standard: the EUT is powered, available for service and able to answer paging while synchronized to BCCH/CCCH. This is used to verify that the transmitter does not start unintentionally when the equipment should be waiting rather than calling.

Performance assessment and criteria

Clause 5 says that equipment with continuous communications links is assessed under voice-call conditions when it supports voice and data. For equipment without analogue speech circuits, the manufacturer specifies the performance assessment. For ancillary equipment tested with the radio, transmitter radiated emissions are ignored in the emission measurement when the combination is used.

Clause 6 uses the performance criteria CT, TT, CR and TR. The key point is that the communication link must be established and maintained, the equipment must keep its user functions and stored data, and idle-mode checks must confirm that the transmitter stays off unless commanded. Receiver testing also uses RXQUAL and audio breakthrough monitoring to show whether interference is affecting the call.

Special EMC test cases

Clause 4.3 defines exclusion bands for receiver and transmitter sections so radiated RF immunity tests are not run in the operating bands. Clause 4.4 gives the method for deciding whether a response is a narrow-band spurious response or a real wide-band EMC problem. Narrow-band responses are disregarded, while a persistent wide-band effect is treated as a failure.

Clause 7 adds special conditions for emission and immunity measurements, including radiated RF, common-mode RF, vehicular transients and supply dips. These conditions are important because they tell the lab when to use the special GSM/DCS procedures instead of the default EN 301 489-1 setup.

What terms does SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 define?

• Equipment Under Test (EUT) - the radio equipment or ancillary equipment being subjected to the EMC test.
• idle mode - the powered state in which the receiver or transceiver is ready for service and able to respond to a call request.
• RXQUAL - a received signal quality measure used by the mobile or portable equipment for RF power control and handover.
• Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) - the channel number used to select the wanted RF input signal.
• Broadcast Control Channel (BCCH) - the control channel used to synchronize the EUT in idle mode.
• Common Control Channel (CCCH) - the channel the EUT listens to in idle mode to respond to paging.
• Discontinuous Transmission (DTX) - a transmission mode that can be disabled during transmitter test setup.
• Mouth Reference Point (MRP) - the reference point at the mouth on the artificial head used for uplink audio calibration.

Who uses SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003?

Test laboratories use SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 to set up GSM and DCS EMC tests, choose the correct call conditions, and judge pass/fail results. Manufacturers and product compliance teams use it to prepare test reports and define how a terminal, handset, or accessory should behave during immunity testing.

It is also used by quality managers and buyers who need to know whether a device is a mobile or portable GSM/DCS terminal, an ancillary item, or equipment that must be assessed together with a charger or other companion hardware. The standard is especially relevant where voice-call behavior, audio breakthrough, idle-mode operation, and stored-data retention all need to be checked.

What changed in SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 from the previous edition?

SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 is the V1.2.1 edition. The history records an earlier V1.1.1 edition from September 2000.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 is used with EN 301 489-1, which provides the common EMC technical requirements, including the baseline test methods and criteria. It also points to the GSM functional radio standards for the specific Phase 1, Phase 2 and Phase 2+ equipment definitions and radio subsystem link-control details:

• I-ETS 300 034-1
• I-ETS 300 034-2
• ETS 300 578
• TS 100 911

ITU-T Recommendation P.64 provides the mouth reference point and related speech measurement basis used in the audio calibration set-up.

What does the SIST EN 301 489-7 V1.2.1:2003 document contain?

The document contains step-by-step test conditions for establishing a communications link, calibrating speech paths, and measuring audio breakthrough in both downlink and uplink directions. It also includes figures showing the audio measurement set-ups for portable equipment and the way the test system, acoustic coupler and EUT are arranged.

Clause 4 covers the signal arrangements, idle mode, exclusion bands, narrow-band response checks and normal test modulation. Clause 6 sets out the performance criteria for continuous and transient phenomena on transmitters and receivers, plus stand-alone ancillary equipment.

Clause 7 gives the applicability overview for emission and immunity and identifies the special conditions that modify EN 301 489-1. Annex A gives examples of equipment in scope, and Annex B provides bibliography references.

4 Test conditions For the purpose of the present document, the test conditions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as appropriate. Further product related test conditions for digital cellular mobile and portable radio equipment are specified in the present document. 4.1 General 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. Whenever the Equipment Under Test (EUT) is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner typical of normal intended use, unless specified otherwise. 4.2 Arrangements for test signals The provisions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply. 4.2.1 Arrangements for establishing a communications link The nominal frequency of the wanted RF input signal (for the receivers) shall be selected by setting the Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) to an appropriate number (e.g. in case of GSM 900 MHz this is 60 to 65, and in case of GSM 1 800 MHz this is 690 to 706). A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system"). When the EUT is required to be in the transmit/receive mode, the following conditions shall be met: - the EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum transmit power; - the downlink RXQUAL shall be monitored. 4.2.1.1 Calibration of the overall audio link performance Prior to the test sequence, the reference level of the speech output signal on both the downlink and uplink shall be recorded on the test instrumentation, as shown in figure 1. If the equipment does not include acoustical transducers (e.g. a microphone or loudspeaker) the equivalent electrical reference levels shall be specified by the manufacturer. The voice processor may often apply noise and echo cancellation algorithms which attempt to eliminate or reduce steady state audio signals as e.g. the 1 kHz calibration signals. The calibration should be carried out with the noise and echo cancellation algorithms disabled. (Specific test software may be required). If the noise and echo cancellation algorithms cannot be disabled then the reference level of the speech output signal should be measured using a max-hold detection on the audio level meter in order to determine the level before the noise and echo cancellation algorithms become effective.

Calibration of the downlink:
The EUT is not used for the calibration of the downlink. Adjust the output of the audio test source to achieve a reference level equivalent to a SPL of 0 dBPa at 1 kHz at the input of the acoustic coupler (tube in figure 1) for the downlink. Record the reading of the audio level meter as the reference level.
If in handsfree applications an external loudspeaker is used, the SPL from the external loudspeaker is higher than that from the earpiece of the por
