SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 300 394-1 Version 2.3.1 for Terrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA) radio conformance testing. It specifies the radio test methods and minimum radio characteristics for TETRA Voice plus Data (V+D), Packet Data Optimized (PDO), and Direct Mode Operation (DMO) equipment for type testing in the 300 MHz to 1 GHz range.

What does SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 sets the radio conformance-testing rules for TETRA Base Stations (BS), Mobile Stations (MS), and DMO equipment. It also maintains the radio testing framework to include DMO requirements and RF loopback.

The document is organized into general rules, test configuration and signals, test conditions, technical characteristics, measurement methods, measurement uncertainty, and annexes.

Annex	What it covers
A	TETRA receiver testing
B	Radiotest system functions
C	TETRA Test Connector Interface (TTCI)
D	RF Test Facility using RF loopback
E	Using RF loopback to test a TETRA MS
F	Direct Mode (DMO) Conformance Testing
G	TETRA EMC requirements related to the antenna port and enclosure emissions

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003?

SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 is built around practical type-test setup, transmitter and receiver limits, and defined test signals. In practice, it tells the lab what to connect, what to stimulate, what to measure, and how to judge the result.

Test setup and test conditions

Clause 4 requires representative equipment, access to at least one antenna connector, specific test modes, decoded data output, and for BS testing a trigger signal for uplink synchronization. Clause 4.1.2 requires testing on channels chosen from the lowest 5, highest 5, and middle 5 radio frequency channels in the relevant band. Clause 6 sets normal and extreme temperature and voltage conditions, and clause 11 requires measurement uncertainty to be reported and kept within the stated limits.

Test signals and operating modes

Clause 5 defines the radiotest configuration and the main test signals. T1 is the wanted TETRA signal used for receiver tests and for controlling the equipment under test, T2 is the modulated interferer, and T3 is the unmodulated interferer. For MS and BS tests, the document distinguishes test receive mode and test transmit mode, and it uses channel types, bursts, and subbursts to match V+D and PDO operation.

Transmitter performance

Clause 7 and clause 8 cover transmitter output power, unwanted output power in non-active transmit state, adjacent-channel power, far-out emissions, radiated emissions, linearization emissions on BLCH/CLCH, and transmitter intermodulation attenuation. In practice, these clauses check that the radio radiates the right power on channel and does not spill excessive energy into neighboring channels or into unwanted frequencies.

Receiver performance

Clause 7 and clause 9 cover nominal error rate, reference sensitivity, reference interference performance, blocking, spurious response rejection, intermodulation response rejection, and unwanted conducted and radiated emissions. These tests show whether the receiver can still decode wanted signals when noise, interferers, or out-of-band signals are present.

Modulation, frequency, and link control

Clause 7.3 and clause 10 cover modulation accuracy, carrier frequency accuracy, MS receiver synchronization burst acquisition, MS frame alignment, and MS link control. For a reader, this means the equipment must transmit with correct waveform quality, stay on frequency, acquire timing correctly, and set initial MS transmit power from the serving BS information.

DMO-specific testing

Annex F adds DMO conformance testing for equipment capable of Direct Mode Operation. It includes DMO transmit mode, transmitter output power profile, DMO carrier frequency accuracy, and DM-MS slave synchronization accuracy.

What terms does SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 define?

• Accredited laboratory - a testing laboratory that has been formally accredited to perform tests.
• Testing laboratory - a laboratory that performs tests for conformance or type approval.
• Receive band - the maximum frequency range declared by the manufacturer over which the receiver can operate without reprogramming or realignment.
• Transmit band - the maximum frequency range declared by the manufacturer over which the transmitter can operate without reprogramming or realignment.
• PACQ (Probability of synchronization burst ACQuisition) - the probability that an MS detects and correctly decodes a synchronization burst.
• PUEM (Probability of Undetected Erroneous Message) - the probability that a wrong message is accepted without being detected.
• Rlev - the averaged signal level received by the MS, used in MS link control calculations.

Who uses SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003?

Manufacturers of TETRA BS, MS, and DMO equipment use this standard when preparing products for type testing. Test laboratories use it to set up RF measurements, test signals, and pass/fail decisions. Accreditation bodies use the uncertainty rules when assessing whether a laboratory’s test results are suitable for conformance work.

It is also useful to quality managers and buyers who need to confirm that a product has been tested against the TETRA radio conformance specification, not just described as “TETRA-compatible.”

Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003?

• EN 300 392-2 - provides the TETRA V+D air interface details used for burst structure, modulation, power control, and measurement definitions.
• ETS 300 393-2 - provides the TETRA PDO air interface details used for PDO burst and subburst testing.
• ETR 028 - gives the measurement-uncertainty approach used in clause 11.
• ETS 300 113 - provides general radio test conditions and the radiated-emissions test arrangement.
• ETS 300 396-2 - provides DMO radio aspects used in Annex F.
• ETS 300 396-3 - provides the MS-MS DMO air interface protocol used in Annex D and Annex F.
• ETS 300 395-2 and ETS 300 395-4 - support TETRA speech codec testing and codec conformance testing.
• EN 300 827 - provides the EMC requirements for TETRA and ancillary equipment.

What does the SIST EN 300 394-1 V2.3.1:2003 document contain?

The document contains detailed limit tables for transmitter and receiver performance, including power, emissions, sensitivity, interference, blocking, modulation accuracy, and frequency accuracy. It also gives measurement procedures for MS and BS testing, plus uncertainty rules for reporting results.

Its annexes add the receiver test cases, the radiotest-system building blocks, the TTCI, RF loopback testing, and DMO conformance testing. Annex G provides the EMC requirements related to the antenna port and enclosure emissions.
