Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the European
Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) in response to a mandate from the European Commission
issued under Council Directive 83/189/EEC (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of
information in the field of technical standards and regulations.
This ETS is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of
the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (89/336/EEC
as amended).
Technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive are given in annex A.
This ETS is based on the considerations and guidance given in ETR 238.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) covers the assessment of radio communication and
ancillary equipment in respect of ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
This ETS specifies the minimum performance and the methods of measurements of EMC on Digital
Enhanced Cordless Telecommunications (DECT) radio and ancillary equipment.
This ETS specifies the applicable EMC tests, the limits, and the performance criteria for digital radio
equipment as described in ETS 300 175-2 [4] and I-ETS 300 176 [5], operating in the frequency range
1 880 to 1 900 MHz, and for the associated ancillary equipment.
The environment classification used in this ETS refers to the environment classification used in the
Generic Standards EN 50081-1 [1] and EN 50082-1 [2], except the vehicular environment class which
refers to ISO 7637 [6], [7].
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at
residential, commercial, light industrial and vehicular environments. The levels, however, do not cover
extreme cases which may occur in any location but with a low probability of occurrence.
This ETS may not cover those cases where a potential source of interference, which is producing
individually repeated transient phenomena, or a continuous phenomena, is permanently present, e.g. a
radar or broadcast site in the near vicinity. In such a case it may be necessary to use special protection
applied to either the source of interference, or the interfered part, or both.
Compliance of radio equipment to the requirements of this ETS does not signify compliance to any
requirement related to the use of the equipment (i.e. licensing requirements).
Compliance to this ETS does not signify compliance to any safety requirements. However, it is the
responsibility of the assessor of the equipment that any observation regarding the equipment becoming
dangerous or unsafe as a result of the application of the tests of this ETS, should be recorded in the test
report.

4 General test conditions
4.1 Test conditions
The equipment shall be tested under normal test conditions contained in the relevant product and basic
standards or in the information accompanying the equipment, which are within the manufacturer's
declared range of humidity, temperature, and supply voltage.
The test conditions shall be recorded in the test report.
Page 10
ETS 300 329: June 1997
The test configuration shall be as close to normal intended use as possible, and shall be recorded in the
test report.
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.
For DECT equipment parts for which connection to a host equipment is necessary to offer functionality the
test configuration shall be as defined in subclause 5.4.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals at the input of the transceiver
4.2.1 Loop back data
The normal test modulation shall be transmitted by the test system and looped back in the radio
equipment, as described in ETS 300 175-3 [8] and I-ETS 300 176 [5].
4.2.2 Speech equipment
Audio input signals may be connected to the EUT either by a non-metallic acoustic tube or, if provided,
electrical connections. The DECT equipment shall not be modified to provide any electrical connection
ports for the purposes of this test. Suitable test arrangements for the acoustic tube are described in
I-ETS 300 176 [5].
4.3 Normal test modulation
For all types of DECT equipment the wanted input signal shall be a Radio Frequency (RF) carrier set to
the nominal centre frequency of one of the DECT RF channels, using gaussian shaped frequency-shift
keying (BT = 0,5) and modulated with a 1 152 kbit/s bit sequence.
The encoding of the bit sequence shall conform to the encoding specified in ETS 300 175-2 [4] and
ETS 300 175-3 [8].
The parts of the data sequence that shall transmit a bit sequence conforming to the D-M2 pattern as
specified in ITU-T Recommendation 0.153 [9] are those which are looped back according to the loop back
test message described in ETS 300 175-3 [8].
The burst timings of this carrier shall conform to the limits specified in ETS 300 175-2 [4].
4.4 Connection of test signals for transceivers
4.4.1 RF connection
Where the equipment incorporates an external antenna connector, the wanted signal to establish
communications shall be delivered to that connector by a coaxial cable. Adequate measures shall be
taken to minimize the effect of unwanted currents on the external conductor of the coaxial cable at the
point of entry to the equipment.
The source of the wanted input signal shall be located outside of the test environment.
Where the equipment does not incorporate an external RF connector i.e. integral antenna equipment, the
wanted signal to establish communications shall be delivered from the equipment to an antenna located
within the test environment. Adequate measures shall be taken to protect the measuring equipment from
the effect of all the radiated fields within the test environment.
4.5 Connection of test signals for receiver-only equipment
4.5.1 RF connection
Where the equipment incorporates an external antenna connector, the wanted signal to establish
communications shall be presented to that connector by a coaxial cable. Adequate measures shall be
taken to minimize the effect of unwanted currents on the external conductor of the coaxial cable at the
point of entry to the equipment.
Page 11
ETS 300 329: June 1997
The source of the wanted input signal shall be located outside of the test environment.
Where the equipment does not incorporate an external RF connector i.e. integral antenna equipment, the
wanted signal, to establish communications, shall be presented to the equipment from an antenna located
within the test environment. Adequate measures shall be taken to protect the measuring equipment from
the effect of all the radiated fields within the test environment.
4.6 Receiver test signal level
For tests on receivers and the receiver parts of transceivers the level of the wanted input signal shall be
adjusted to approximately 40 dB above the radio receiver sensitivity limit as defined in ETS 300 175-2 [4].
The source of the wanted input signal shall be located outside of the test environment.
4.7 Narrow band responses on receivers or receivers which are part of transceivers
No immunity tests shall be carried out on frequencies of identified narrow band responses i. e. spurious
responses, of the receiver parts of the DECT equipment.
The procedure by which a narrow band response is distinguished from a wide band response is as
follows:
- if during testing an increase in the bit error rate of the looped back data from the EUT is observed,
or there is an increase in the measured value of speech output signal level, the frequency of the
unwanted signal shall be recorded and then increased by 2 MHz and the test repeated. Similarly,
the frequency of the unwanted signal shall be set to the frequency recorded in the previous test,
and then decreased by 2 MHz and the test repeated;
- if the bit error rate and speech output signal of the EUT as measured are within the permitted limits
at the two test frequencies described in the previous paragraph, then the response observed at the
recorded frequency of the unwanted signal shall be considered a narrow band response and shall
not be used in determining the EMC compliance of the EUT;
- if the bit error rate or speech output signal level of the EUT as measured is outside the permitted
limits at the two test frequencies, then the test shall be repeated using frequency offsets of plus and
minus 2,5 MHz. If at this second set of test frequencies the bit error rate or speech output signal
level as measured is still outside the permitted limits, then the response is considered to be a wide
band phenomena and the EUT fails the test.
5 Performance assessment
5.1 General
The manufacturer shall at the time of submission of the equipment for test, declare the following
information which shall be recorded in the test report:
- in the case of receive-only equipment, the primary functions of the radio equipment to be tested
during and after the EMC testing;
- the intended functions of the EUT which shall be in accordance with the documentation
accompanying the equipment;
- the ancillary equipment and/or host equipment to be used with the radio equipment for testing;
- the user-control functions and stored data that are required for normal operation and the method to
be used to assess whether these have been lost after EMC stress;
- an exhaustive list of ports, classified as either power or signal/control. Power ports shall further be
classified as AC or DC power;
- the volume setting required to provide nominal operation of the product as defined in
I-ETS 300 176 [5].
Page 12
ETS 300 329: June 1997
5.2 Equipment classification
Portable equipment or combinations of equipment declared as capable of being powered for intended use
by the battery in the vehicle shall additionally be considered as vehicular mobile equipment.
Portable or mobile equipment or combinations of equipment declared as capable of being powered for
intended use by AC mains shall additionally be considered as base station equipment.
5.3 Ancillary equipment
At the manufacturer's discretion an ancillary equipment may be:
- declared compliant separately from a receiver or transceiver to all the applicable immunity and
emission clauses of this ETS;
- declared compliant to another appropriate harmonized EMC standard;
- tested with it connected to a receiver or transceiver, in which case compliance shall be
demonstrated to the appropriate clauses of this ETS.
In each case, compliance enables the ancillary equipment to be used with different receivers, transmitters,
or transceivers.
5.4 Assessment of host connected equipment and plug-in cards
For DECT equipment parts for which connection to or integration with a host equipment is necessary in
order to offer functionality, two alternative approaches defined in subclauses 5.4.1 and 5.4.2 may be used.
The manufacturer shall declare which alternative is to be used.
5.4.1 Alternative A: composite equipment
A combination of DECT radio equipment part and a specific type of host equipment may be used for
assessment according to this ETS.
Where more than one such combination is intended, each combination shall be tested separately.
Where a specific combination of host equipment and a DECT radio equipment part is tested as a
composite system for compliance, repeat testing shall not be required for:
- those other combinations of hosts and DECT radio equipment parts which are based on
substantially similar host models in the circumstance that the variations in mechanical and electrical
properties between such host models are unlikely to influence significantly the intrinsic immunity
and unwanted emissions of the DECT radio equipment part;
- the DECT radio equipment part which can not be used without mechanical, electrical, or software
modification in variations of host equipment different from those represented by the units for which
compliance to this ETS has been demonstrated.
5.4.2 Alternative B: use of a test jig and three hosts
Where the DECT radio equipment part is intended for use with a variety of host equipment, the
manufacturer shall supply a suitable test jig to enable compliance with this ETS to be assessed.
The test jig shall be designed such that alteration of the DECT radio equipment part's intrinsic immunity
and unwanted emissions is minimized.
Where connection between the DECT radio equipment part and the host equipment control and/or power
ports is by cables, optical fibres, or other similar means, this connection to the host shall be considered as
a suitable test jig.
Page 13
ETS 300 329: June 1997
The test jig shall allow the DECT radio equipment part to be powered and stimulated in a way similar to
the way in which it would be powered and stimulated when connected to or inserted into the host
equipment.
In addition to tests using the test jig the DECT radio equipment part shall be tested when connected to, or
inserted into, three different host equipment. These hosts shall be provided by the manufacturer and shall
be selected from the list of compatible hosts published by the manufacturer as part of the user
documentation supplied with the DECT radio equipment part.
The selection of hosts shall be by agreement with the Notified Body.
Notified bodies have the discretion to require the manufacturer to inform them of each deletion from or
addition to the list of compatible hosts published in the user documentation.
5.5 Performance assessment test procedure to verify no loss of user control functions or
stored data for DECT transceivers
The test system shall send the test message "clear test modes" as described in ETS 300 175-3 [8] if the
bearer was maintained.
The test system shall control the EUT so that it transmits on a specified slot and channel according to the
test procedures described in ETS 300 175-3 [8].
-3
The test system shall verify a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of 1x10 or better.
5.6 Performance assessment of audio breakthrough
This test is used to measure the effect of continuous EMC phenomena on the analogue speech circuits of
DECT equipment so fitted.
The test system shall be arranged as shown in figure 1 such that the level of the output signals from the
EUT's speech channels can be recorded on suitable test instruments, though not necessarily in each
channel simultaneously. For a Portable Part (PP) with an acoustic transducer this requires the
measurement of Sound Pressure Level (SPL). Pick-up of extraneous back-ground noise by the EUT's
speech transducer (microphone) shall be minimized.
Prior to the test sequence, the reference level of the speech output signal shall be recorded on the test
instrumentation as shown in figure 2. For a PP with an acoustic speech transducer this shall be equivalent
to 0 dBPa at 1 kHz, applied to the Ear Reference Point (ERP) in the receive path, and -5 dBPa at 1 kHz
applied to the Mouth Reference Point (MRP). For an Fixed Part (FP) with analogue speech circuits, and
other implementations of DECT equipment with analogue speech circuits, the reference level shall be
equivalent to these acoustic signals.
At each test frequency the level of the speech output signal relative to the reference level shall be
measured.
Where it is necessary to interface to the acoustic transducers of the EUT, care shall be taken to ensure
that the disturbance to the electromagnetic field is minimized. A non-metallic acoustic coupler, as
described in I-ETS 300 176 [5], should be used.
The precise arrangements shall be recorded in the test report.

least 35 dB less than the previously recorded reference level. This shall be verified by the procedure in
subclause 5.6.
At the conclusion of the test, the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or
stored data and the communications link shall have been maintained during and after the tests. This shall
be verified by the procedure in subclause 5.5.
Where the EUT is capable of transmission, tests shall be performed to ensure that unintentional
transmission does not occur.
6.2 Performance criteria for Transient phenomena applied to DECT Transceivers (TT)
At the conclusion of each exposure the EUT shall operate with no user noticeable loss of the
communications link.
At the conclusion of the total test comprising the series of individual exposures the EUT shall operate as
intended with no loss of user control functions or stored data, as declared by the manufacturer, and the
communications link shall have been maintained. This shall be verified by the procedure in subclause 5.5.
Where the EUT is capable of transmission, tests shall be performed to ensure that unintentional
transmission does not occur.
6.3 Performance criteria for Continuous phenomena applied to DECT Receive-only
equipment (CR)
The primary functions shall be verified during each individual exposure in the test sequence.
Additionally for equipment containing analogue speech circuits the speech output signal level shall be at
least 35 dB less than the previously recorded reference level. This shall be verified by the procedure in
subclause 5.6.
At the conclusion of the test, the EUT shall operate as intended with no loss of user control functions or
stored data, as declared by the manufacturer, and the communications link shall have been maintained.
This shall be verified by checking the primary functions.

and/or ancillary equipment
8.1 Test configuration
This subclause defines the requirements for test configurations described in the following subclauses. The
requirements are as follows:
- the measurement shall be made in the operational mode producing the largest emission in the
frequency band being investigated consistent with normal applications;
- the equipment shall be configured in a manner which is representative of normal/typical operation,
where practical;
- an attempt shall be made to maximize the detected radiated emission, e.g. by moving the cables of
the equipment;
- if the equipment is part of a system, or can be connected to ancillary equipment, then it shall be
acceptable to test the equipment while connected to the minimum configuration of ancillary
equipment necessary to exercise the ports;

- for DECT equipment parts for which connection to a host equipment is necessary to offer
functionality, the manufacturer shall select which of the alternative performance assessment
configurations described in subclause 5.4 shall be used;
- the configuration and mode of operation during measurements shall be precisely noted in the test
report;
- if the equipment has a large number of ports, then a sufficient number shall be selected to simulate
actual operation conditions and to ensure that all the different types of termination are tested;
- ports which in normal operation are connected, shall be connected to an ancillary equipment or to a
representative piece of cable terminated to simulate the impedance of the ancillary equipment. RF
input/output ports shall be correctly terminated;
- the tests shall be carried out at a point within the specifi
