This work item will also consider the incorperation of  EN 301-840 into the final document.The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequency spectrum for wireless microphones. The present document specifies the minimum performance requirements and the methods of measurement of Assistive Listening Devices, radio microphones and in-ear monitoring systems. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. The present document applies to equipment operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 3 GHz  using analogue, digital and hybrid (using both analogue and digital) modulation. The present document does not apply to radio microphones or in ear monitoring equipment employing Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA) modulation.
The maximum power recommended for equipment covered by the present document is 250 mW (erp below 1 GHz and eirp above 1 GHz). Equipment above 250 mW should be tested to EN 300 454-1 [6].
The present document also covers radio microphones used in the 863 MHz to 865 MHz band, with a maximum power of 10 mW.
Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by EN 301 489-9 [7].
National regulations on maximum power output will apply or those detailed in the latest version of
CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [11], annex 10 (see http://www.erodocdb.dk/).
The classes of equipment given in the present document are as follows:
- class 1 equipment would normally be considered as a category requiring an operator licence;
- class 2 equipment would be considered in some countries as not requiring an operator licence.
The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• professional hand held radio microphones;
• professional body worn radio microphones;
• in ear monitoring systems;
• consumer radio microphones;
• tour guide systems; and
• Assistive Listening Devices (Aids for the handicapped).

Foreword

This European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee

Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).

The present document has been updated in line with the advances in radio microphone technology in the digital field

and also with changes generated within CEPT in the former ERMES band for aids for the handicapped.

The present document is part 1 of a multi-part deliverable covering the Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio

spectrum Matters (ERM); Wireless microphones in the 25 MHz to 3 GHz frequency range, as identified below:

Part 1: "Technical characteristics and methods of measurement";

Part 2: "Harmonized EN covering essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".

Introduction

In preparing the present document, much attention has been given to assure a low interference probability, while at the

same time allowing maximum flexibility and service to the end-user.

Common technical specifications and harmonized frequency allocations are expected to greatly reduce problems of

interference and illegal use.

The present document is a testing standard based on spectrum utilization parameters and does not include performance

characteristics that may be required by the user nor requirements for interfacing equipment.

In-ear monitoring systems may be tested to either the present document (< 200 kHz max. occupied bandwidth) or to

EN 301 357-1 [4] (< 300 kHz max. occupied bandwidth) with due consideration of power and operating frequency.

Consumer radio microphones with 300 kHz occupied bandwidth can also be tested to EN 301 357-1 [4].

Since the initial adoption of I-ETS 300 422 [5] there has been the introduction of further types of equipment into the

market - cordless headphones/loudspeakers Low power Band II and consumer in-ear monitoring. These are low power

wideband systems that have some characteristics in common with radio microphones but are not compatible with

multichannel radio microphones. This equipment is covered by EN 301 357-1 [4].

Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment intended to interface to the Public Switched

Telephone Network (PSTN). This facility may be subjected to regulatory conditions.

1 Scope

The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the

available frequency spectrum for wireless microphones. The present document specifies the minimum performance

requirements and the methods of measurement of Assistive Listening Devices, radio microphones and in-ear monitoring

systems. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily

represent the optimum performance achievable.

The present document applies to equipment operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 3 GHz (as shown in

table 1) using analogue, digital and hybrid (using both analogue and digital) modulation. The present document does not

apply to radio microphones or in ear monitoring equipment employing Time Division Multiple Access (TDMA)

modulation.

The maximum power recommended for equipment covered by the present document is 250 mW (erp below 1 GHz and

eirp above 1 GHz). Equipment above 250 mW should be tested to EN 300 454-1 [6].

The present document also covers radio microphones used in the 863 MHz to 865 MHz band, with a maximum power

of 10 mW.

Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by EN 301 489-9 [7].

National regulations on maximum power output will apply or those detailed in the latest version of

CEPT/ERC/REC 70-03 [11], annex 10 (see http://www.erodocdb.dk/).

The classes of equipment given in the present document are as follows:

- class 1 equipment would normally be considered as a category requiring an operator licence;

- class 2 equipment would be considered in some countries as not requiring an operator licence.

The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
• professional hand held radio microphones;
• professional body worn radio microphones;
• in ear monitoring systems;
• consumer radio microphones;
• tour guide systems; and
• Assistive Listening Devices (Aids for the handicapped).
