ETSI ETSI EN 302 961 V2.1.2 (2016-08) 7 1 Scope The present document lays down the minimum requirements for maritime "Personal Homing Radio Beacon for 121,5 MHz search and rescue purposes", and incorporates the relevant provisions of the International Telecommunication Union (ITU) radio regulations. Operational radio beacons described in the present document are intended only for transmission of radio signals on the frequency 121,5 MHz for locating purposes. Beacons for training purposes will be frequency programmed in accordance with national licensing. It should be noted that licensing for such use is also dependent on the administration responsible for the waters where the equipment is operated and not the registered flag state. The present document applies to radio beacons intended for short-range maritime personal homing applications. For this application, both the radiated power and the length of time of operation are reduced to enable the equipment to be sufficiently small and light to be worn comfortably at all times. The present document also specifies technical characteristics, methods of measurement and required test results. The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that ". Radio equipment shall be so constructed that it both effectively uses and supports the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference" [i.1]. 2 References 2.1 Normative references References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific.

Radio beacons shall be tested on 121,5 MHz. Beacons solely intended for training purposes shall be tested on their designated frequency. 6.2 Test fixture In the case of integral antenna equipment, if the equipment does not have an internal permanent 50 Ω connector then it is permitted to supply a second sample of the equipment with a temporary antenna connector fitted to facilitate testing. Where applicable, tests using this second sample shall be carried out using an artificial antenna which shall be a substantially non-reactive non-radiating load connected to the antenna connector. The Voltage Standing Wave Ratio (VSWR) at the 50 Ω connector or the provider's specified test fixture shall not be greater than 1,5:1 over the frequency range of the measurement.
