Foreword

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

Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).

The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued

under Council Directive 98/34/EC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the field of

technical standards and regulations.

The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the

Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [2] of the European Parliament and

of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual

recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").

The present document is part 2 of a multi-part deliverable covering transmitting equipment for the Frequency

Modulated (FM) sound broadcasting service, as identified below:
Part 1: "Technical characteristics and test methods";
Part 2: "Harmonized EN under article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive".

The present document is part of a set of standards designed to fit in a modular structure to cover all radio and

The left hand edge of figure 0.1 shows the different clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [2].

For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present

document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements

are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to

be specified by function or interface type.

The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The

scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are

harmonized) or by radio equipment type.

For article 3.1b the diagram shows EN 301 489, the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the

EMC Directive [3].

For article 3.1a the diagram shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [4] and new

standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be

required.

The bottom of the figure shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal

equipment. A particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio

spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant

essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is

covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential

requirements under the R&TTE Directive may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:

• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and

functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may

occur in an equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions
without requiring alteration of standards that are already published;

• it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity

assessment.
Other documents directly associated with the present document:
• EN 302 018-1 [5];
• EN 301 489-11 [6].

1 Scope

The present document applies to Transmitting equipment for the frequency-modulated sound broadcasting service.

The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:

• Transmitting equipment for frequency modulated sound broadcasting service operating in both Monophonic

and Stereophonic operating in the frequency range 68 MHz to 108 MHz.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2, of Directive 1999/5/EC [2], which states that

"… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio

communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".

In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements

under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [2] apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions

For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:

antenna port: port of an apparatus which is designed, in normal operation, to be connected to an antenna using coaxial

cable

broadcasting service: radio communication service in which the transmissions are intended for direct reception by the

general public

NOTE: This service may include sound transmissions, television transmissions or other types of transmission.

cabinet radiation: radiation from an enclosure containing, equipment, excluding radiation from connected antennas or

cables

carrier power: average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during one cycle taken under

the condition of no modulation
channel L: left hand channel of a stereophonic signal
channel R: right hand channel of a stereophonic signal

class of emission: set of characteristics of an emission, designated by standard symbols, e.g. type of modulation of the

main carrier, modulating signal, type of information to be transmitted, and also, if appropriate, any additional signal

characteristics
composite: See "Multiplex (MPX) signal".
dBc: decibels relative to the unmodulated carrier power of the emission

NOTE: In the cases which do not have a carrier, for example in some digital modulation schemes where the

carrier is not accessible for measurement, the reference level equivalent to dBc is decibels relative to the

mean power P.

difference signal: signal (S) theoretically equal to half the difference between the left (L) and right (R) stereophonic

signals, and in practice proportional to this difference. S = (L - R) / 2

enclosure port: physical boundary of the apparatus through which electromagnetic fields may radiate or impinge

NOTE: In the case of integral antenna equipment, this port is inseparable from the antenna port.

environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment within the scope of EN 302 018-2 is

required to comply with the provisions of EN 302 018-2
exclusion band: band of radio frequencies where no measurements are made

harmonic: component of order greater than 1 of the Fourier series of a periodic quantity

harmonic number: integral number given by the ratio of the frequency of a harmonic to the fundamental frequency

(2 harmonic = 2 × fundamental frequency)
