Page 7I-ETS 300 220: October 1993ForewordThis Interim European Telecommunication Standard (I-ETS) has been prepared by the Radio Equipmentand Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI)and having passed through ETSI standards approval procedure, is now published.This is a general standard based upon CEPT Recommendations T/R 20-03 [1] and T/R 20-04 [2]. All types of modulation for radio devices, except Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA), are covered by thisI-ETS.For regulatory purposes the equipment is divided into
four main classes based on frequency range andmaximum output power (see table 1), and further divided into classes based on the use inside or outside theIndustrial Scientific and Medical (ISM) bands and on the use of the antenna (see table 2).Table 1ClassFrequency rangeMHzPower level(conducted or radiated)milliWatts (mW)I25 to 1 00010II300 to 1 00025III25 to 300100IV300 to 1 000500Table 2Sub-classFrequency bandAntenna type/connectoraI.S.M.IntegralbNon-I.S.M.IntegralcI.S.M.External socketdNon-I.S.M.External socketThe CEPT Recommendation T/R 01-04 [6] covering Low Power Devices (LPD) is supported by class I.a.,from the above tables, see Annex A, Clause A.1. For non-harmonised parameters, national administrations may impose conditions on the type of modulation,channel/frequency separations, maximum transmitter output power/effective radiated power, equipmentmarking and the inclusion of an automatic transmitter shut-off facility as a condition of the issue of anindividual or general licence, or, as a condition of use under licence exemption. The extreme temperatureranges are fixed and are given in subclause 5.4.1.2.This I-ETS does not cover requirements for radiated emissions below 25 MHz. Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection tothe Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).PSIST I-ETS 300 220:1998

Page 8I-ETS 300 220: October 1993IntroductionThis I-ETS is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement for shortrange devices as specified in the scope.When ETSI publishes a standard covering a specific application for short range devices, it will supersede thisgeneral standard.Interference from other services and systems has not been taken into account in this I-ETS.Included are methods of measurement for equipments fitted with antenna sockets and/or integral antenna. Equipment designed for use with an integral antenna may be supplied with a temporary external/internal orpermanent internal 50 ohm connector for the purpose of testing, providing, the characteristics beingmeasured are not expected to be affected.The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative of the performance ofthe corresponding production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, this I-ETS containsinstructions for the presentation of equipment for type testing purposes (see subclause 4.1), conditions oftesting (see Clause 5).This I-ETS was drafted on the assumption that:-"Type test measurements, performed in an accredited test laboratory, shall be accepted by the variousNational Regulatory Authorities in order to grant type approval, provided the National regulatoryrequirements are met.
In addition national administrations may accept a "certificate of conformity"based on the type test report".This is in compliance with CEPT Recommendation T/R 71-03 [7].Clauses 1 and 3 provide a general description on the types of equipment covered by this I-ETS and thedefinitions and abbreviations used.
Clause 4 provides a guide as to the number of samples required in-orderthat type tests may be carried out, and any markings on the equipment which the applicant should provide.Clauses 7 and 8 provide the limits of the parameters which are required to be tested.
These limits have beenchosen to minimise harmful interference to other equipment and services.
It also provides details on how theequipment should be tested and the conditions which should be applied.Clause 9 gives the maximum measurement uncertainty values.Annex A provides information on specific applications covered by this I-ETS.Annex B provides specifications concerning radiated measurements.Annex C contains specifications for adjacent channel power measurement arrangements.Annex D is a graphic representation of subclause 4.1, referring to the presentation of equipment for testingpurposes.Annex E provides information on the correction curve to be used for pulsed systems.Annex F provides information on the spectrum analyser specification.PSIST I-ETS 300 220:1998

Page 9I-ETS 300 220: October 19931ScopeThis I-ETS covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of theavailable frequencies.It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarilyrepresent the optimum performance achievable.It applies to short range devices:-with an antenna connection and/or with an integral antenna;-for alarms, telecommand, telemetry, etc., applications;-with or without speech;-operating on radio frequencies between 25 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with power levels up to 500 mW,radiated or terminated.This I-ETS covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations.

5 % relative to the voltage at thebeginning of each test.5.3Normal test conditions5.3.1Normal temperature and humidityThe normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination oftemperature and humidity within the following ranges:-temperature +15°C to +35°C;-relative humidity 20 % to 75 %.When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambienttemperature and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.5.3.2Normal test power source5.3.2.1Mains voltageThe normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage.
Forthe purpose of this I-ETS, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages,for which the equipment was designed.The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the AC mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.5.3.2.2Regulated lead-acid battery power sourcesWhen the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery powersource the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (6 volts, 12 voltsetc.).5.3.2.3Other power sourcesFor operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltageshall be that declared by the equipment applicant and approved by the test authority.
Such values shall bestated in the test report.5.4Extreme test conditions5.4.1Extreme temperatures5.4.1.1Procedure for tests at extreme temperaturesBefore measurements are made the equipment shall have reached thermal balance in the test chamber. Theequipment shall be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.In the case of equipment containing temperature stabilisation circuits designed to operate continuously, thetemperature stabilisation circuits
shall be switched on for 15 minutes after thermal balance has beenobtained, and the equipment shall then meet the specified requirements.If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour,or such period as may be decided by the accredited test laboratory, shall be allowed.
The sequence ofmeasurements shall be chosen, and the humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so thatexcessive condensation does not occur.PSIST I-ETS 300 220:1998

Page 17I-ETS 300 220: October 19935.4.1.1.1Procedure for equipment designed for continuous operationIf the applicant states that the equipment is designed for continuous operation, the test procedure shall be asfollows:-before tests at the upper extreme temperature the equipment shall be placed in the test chamber andleft until thermal balance is attained. The equipment shall then be switched on in the transmit conditionfor a period of half an hour after which the equipment shall meet the specified requirements;-for tests at the lower extreme temperature the equipment shall be left in the test chamber until thermalbalance is attained, then switched to the
