SIST EN 301 489-22 V2.1.1:2020
 10 ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.1.1 (2020-10)
Table 1: Transmitter exclusion bands for emission measurements
Category of EUT Width of exclusion band Centre of exclusion band
(Channel spacing) (see notes 1 and 2)
8,33 kHz 2,042 MHz or 2,442 MHz Fc
12,5 kHz 2,063 MHz or 2,463 MHz Fc
25 kHz equipment 2,125 MHz or 2,525 MHz Fc
NOTE 1: The exclusion band is the product of 5 times the channel spacing plus 20 times the measurement bandwidth
(i.e. 100 kHz or 120 kHz), for the measurement range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
NOTE 2: The extension of the exclusion bandwidth for transmitters to include 20 times the measurement bandwidth is
needed to accommodate the skirt bandwidth of the filters used in the measurement equipment. A narrower
measurement bandwidth may be used. The exclusion band and measurement bandwidth shall be recorded
in the test report.

4.3.3 Receiver exclusion bands for EM emission measurements
There shall be no frequency exclusion band applied to EM emission measurements of receivers.
4.3.4 Transmitter exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band extends plus and minus twice the occupied BandWidth (BW) from the centre frequency
(Fc ± 2 BW).
For 25 kHz equipment the exclusion band extends ±50 kHz, for 8,33 kHz equipment ±16,7 kHz and for 12,5 kHz
equipment ±25 kHz around the centre frequency (Fc).
4.3.5 Receiver exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band is the operating frequency range, extended at each end by ± 5 % of the centre frequency (Fc).
EXAMPLE: For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 118 MHz to 136,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 111,625 MHz (i.e. 118 MHz minus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
143,35 MHz (i.e. 136,975 MHz plus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz).
For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 225 MHz to 399,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 209,375 MHz (i.e. 225 MHz minus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
415,600 MHz (i.e. 399,975 MHz plus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz).
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or the receiver part of transceivers occurring during the immunity tests at discrete frequencies
which are narrow band responses (spurious responses), are identified by the following method.
If during immunity RF test the RF test signal (see ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clauses 9.2 and 9.5) causes non-compliance
of the receiver, it is necessary to evaluate whether this non-compliance is due to a narrow band response or a wideband
phenomenon. Therefore, the frequency of the test signal is increased by an amount equal to twice the nominal 6 dB
bandwidth of the IF filter immediately preceding the demodulator of the receiver, or if appropriate, the bandwidth over
which the equipment is intended to operate. The test is repeated with the frequency of the test signal decreased by the
same amount.
If the receiver is then in either or both frequency offset cases in compliance with the specified performance criteria, the
response is considered as a narrow band response.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria, this may be due to the fact that the offset
has made the frequency of the unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under
these circumstances the procedure is repeated with an increase and decrease of the frequency of the test signal adjusted
two and a half times the bandwidth referred to above.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria in either or both frequency offset cases, the
phenomena is considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test.

SIST EN 301 489-22 V2.1.1:2020
 11 ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.1.1 (2020-10)
For immunity tests, narrow band responses shall be subject to spurious response rejection tests specified in the relevant
product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum.
4.5 Normal test modulation
The normal test modulation is specified as follows:
• for analogue speech equipment:
- the receiver input signal shall be set to the nominal operating frequency, modulated with a sinusoidal
audio frequency of 1 kHz at 30 % depth and at a level which gives a SINAD ratio of 20 dB, measured at
the receiver output using a psophometric telephone filtering network as described in Recommendation
ITU-T P.53 [i.4];
- the transmitter shall be modulated with a sinusoidal audio frequency signal of 1 kHz. The level of this
audio signal shall be set to obtain at least 80 % modulation depth of the RF output signal;
• for VDL Mode 2 and VDL Mode 4 equipment:
- the receiver input signal shall be set to the nominal frequency of the receiver, modulated with a test
sign

ETSI

---------------------- Page: 9 ----------------------
10 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.0.1 (2020-07)
Table 1: Transmitter exclusion bands for emission measurements
Category of EUT Width of exclusion band Centre of exclusion band
(Channel spacing) (see notes 1 and 2)
8,33 kHz 2,042 MHz or 2,442 MHz Fc
12,5 kHz 2,063 MHz or 2,463 MHz Fc
25 kHz equipment 2,125 MHz or 2,525 MHz Fc
NOTE 1: The exclusion band is the product of 5 times the channel spacing plus 20 times the measurement bandwidth
(i.e. 100 kHz or 120 kHz), for the measurement range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
NOTE 2: The extension of the exclusion bandwidth for transmitters to include 20 times the measurement bandwidth is
needed to accommodate the skirt bandwidth of the filters used in the measurement equipment. A narrower
measurement bandwidth may be used. The exclusion band and measurement bandwidth shall be recorded
in the test report.

4.3.3 Receiver exclusion bands for EM emission measurements
There shall be no frequency exclusion band applied to EM emission measurements of receivers.
4.3.4 Transmitter exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band extends plus and minus twice the occupied BandWidth (BW) from the centre frequency
(Fc ± 2 BW).
For 25 kHz equipment the exclusion band extends ±50 kHz, for 8,33 kHz equipment ±16,7 kHz and for 12,5 kHz
equipment ±25 kHz around the centre frequency (Fc).
4.3.5 Receiver exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band is the operating frequency range, extended at each end by ± 5 % of the centre frequency (Fc).
EXAMPLE: For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 118 MHz to 136,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 111,625 MHz (i.e. 118 MHz minus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
143,35 MHz (i.e. 136,975 MHz plus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz).
For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 225 MHz to 399,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 209,375 MHz (i.e. 225 MHz minus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
415,600 MHz (i.e. 399,975 MHz plus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz).
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or the receiver part of transceivers occurring during the immunity tests at discrete frequencies
which are narrow band responses (spurious responses), are identified by the following method.
If during immunity RF test the RF test signal (see ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clauses 9.2 and 9.5) causes non-compliance
of the receiver, it is necessary to evaluate whether this non-compliance is due to a narrow band response or a wideband
phenomenon. Therefore, the frequency of the test signal is increased by an amount equal to twice the nominal 6 dB
bandwidth of the IF filter immediately preceding the demodulator of the receiver, or if appropriate, the bandwidth over
which the equipment is intended to operate. The test is repeated with the frequency of the test signal decreased by the
same amount.
If the receiver is then in either or both frequency offset cases in compliance with the specified performance criteria, the
response is considered as a narrow band response.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria, this may be due to the fact that the offset
has made the frequency of the unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under
these circumstances the procedure is repeated with an increase and decrease of the frequency of the test signal adjusted
two and a half times the bandwidth referred to above.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria in either or both frequency offset cases, the
phenomena is considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test.
ETSI

---------------------- Page: 10 ----------------------
11 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.0.1 (2020-07)
For immunity tests, narrow band responses shall be subject to spurious response rejection tests specified in the relevant
product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum.
4.5 Normal test modulation
The normal test modulation is specified as follows:
• for analogue speech equipment:
- the receiver input signal shall be set to the nominal operating frequency, modulated with a sinusoidal
audio frequency of 1 kHz at 30 % depth and at a level which gives a SINAD ratio of 20 dB, measured at
the receiver output using a psophometric telephone filtering network as described in Recommendation
ITU-T P.53 [i.4];
- the transmitter shall be modulated with a sinusoidal audio frequency signal of 1 kHz. The level of this
audio signal shall be set to obtain at least 80 % modulation depth of the RF output signal;
• for VDL Mode 2 and VDL Mode 4 equipment:
- the receiver input signal shall be set to the nominal frequency of the receiver, modulated with a test
signal which represents normal operation;
- the transmitter shall be modulated with a test signal which represents the intended normal operation of
the equipment;
- the test signal generator (modulation) shall be able to produce a continuous stream of data or a repetitive
message as appropriate;
- in the case of data equipment, the test instrumentation shall be able to produce:
 a readout of BER of a continuous data stream; or
 a repetitive readout of message acceptance or an indication of data throughput rate in the case of
error-corrected systems.
5 Performance assessment
5.1 Void
5.2 Equipment which can provide a continuous communications
link

continuous communication link shall be established at the start of the test, and the performance criteria specified in
clause 6 shall apply.
For immunity tests of receivers, the wanted RF input signal coupled to the receiver shall be modulated with normal test
modulation (see clause 4.5). A continuous communication link shall be established at the start of the test, and the
performance criteria specified in clause 6 shall apply.

oSIST prEN 301 489-22 V2.0.1:2020
 10 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.0.1 (2020-07)
Table 1: Transmitter exclusion bands for emission measurements
Category of EUT Width of exclusion band Centre of exclusion band
(Channel spacing) (see notes 1 and 2)
8,33 kHz 2,042 MHz or 2,442 MHz Fc
12,5 kHz 2,063 MHz or 2,463 MHz Fc
25 kHz equipment 2,125 MHz or 2,525 MHz Fc
NOTE 1: The exclusion band is the product of 5 times the channel spacing plus 20 times the measurement bandwidth
(i.e. 100 kHz or 120 kHz), for the measurement range 30 MHz to 1 GHz.
NOTE 2: The extension of the exclusion bandwidth for transmitters to include 20 times the measurement bandwidth is
needed to accommodate the skirt bandwidth of the filters used in the measurement equipment. A narrower
measurement bandwidth may be used. The exclusion band and measurement bandwidth shall be recorded
in the test report.

4.3.3 Receiver exclusion bands for EM emission measurements
There shall be no frequency exclusion band applied to EM emission measurements of receivers.
4.3.4 Transmitter exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band extends plus and minus twice the occupied BandWidth (BW) from the centre frequency
(Fc ± 2 BW).
For 25 kHz equipment the exclusion band extends ±50 kHz, for 8,33 kHz equipment ±16,7 kHz and for 12,5 kHz
equipment ±25 kHz around the centre frequency (Fc).
4.3.5 Receiver exclusion bands for immunity tests
The exclusion band is the operating frequency range, extended at each end by ± 5 % of the centre frequency (Fc).
EXAMPLE: For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 118 MHz to 136,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 111,625 MHz (i.e. 118 MHz minus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
143,35 MHz (i.e. 136,975 MHz plus (127,5 times 0,05) MHz).
For the equipment intended to operate in the frequency band 225 MHz to 399,975 MHz, the
exclusion band extends from 209,375 MHz (i.e. 225 MHz minus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz) to
415,600 MHz (i.e. 399,975 MHz plus (312,5 times 0,05) MHz).
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or the receiver part of transceivers occurring during the immunity tests at discrete frequencies
which are narrow band responses (spurious responses), are identified by the following method.
If during immunity RF test the RF test signal (see ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clauses 9.2 and 9.5) causes non-compliance
of the receiver, it is necessary to evaluate whether this non-compliance is due to a narrow band response or a wideband
phenomenon. Therefore, the frequency of the test signal is increased by an amount equal to twice the nominal 6 dB
bandwidth of the IF filter immediately preceding the demodulator of the receiver, or if appropriate, the bandwidth over
which the equipment is intended to operate. The test is repeated with the frequency of the test signal decreased by the
same amount.
If the receiver is then in either or both frequency offset cases in compliance with the specified performance criteria, the
response is considered as a narrow band response.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria, this may be due to the fact that the offset
has made the frequency of the unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under
these circumstances the procedure is repeated with an increase and decrease of the frequency of the test signal adjusted
two and a half times the bandwidth referred to above.
If the receiver still does not comply with the specified performance criteria in either or both frequency offset cases, the
phenomena is considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test.

 11 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-22 V2.0.1 (2020-07)
For immunity tests, narrow band responses shall be subject to spurious response rejection tests specified in the relevant
product standards for the effective use of the radio spectrum.
4.5 Normal test modulation
The normal test modulation is specified as follows:
• for analogue speech equipment:
- the receiver input signal shall be set to the nominal operating frequency, modulated with a sinusoidal
audio frequency of 1 kHz at 30 % depth and at a level which gives a SINAD ratio of 20 dB, measured at
the receiver output using a psophometric telephone filtering network as described in Recommendation
ITU-T P.53 [i.4];
- the transmitter shall be modulated with a sinusoidal audio frequency signal of 1 kHz. The level of this
audio signal shall b
