SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2:2005 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2, published by SIST. It specifies electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) test conditions, performance assessment, and performance criteria for CDMA 1x spread spectrum mobile and portable radio terminal equipment and associated ancillary equipment. It is aimed at manufacturers, test labs, and conformity teams working on User Equipment (UE), including PAMR applications added in this revision.
What does SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 specify?
SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 defines the EMC treatment for CDMA 1x spread spectrum mobile and portable equipment, together with ancillary equipment, when used as radio terminals rather than base stations. It works with EN 301 489-1 for the common EMC framework, and where this part differs, its own provisions take precedence.
The scope covers EMC assessment, test conditions, performance assessment, and performance criteria. It excludes antenna-port technical specifications and enclosure-port emission technical specifications, which are handled in the relevant product standards for radio spectrum use.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| A | Examples of mobile and portable equipment in scope, including IMT-2000 CDMA Multi-carrier Systems and CDMA-PAMR Systems |
| B | Normative voice-call performance assessment and audio breakthrough measurements |
| C | Normative data-transfer performance assessment and error-rate methods |
| D | Informative bibliography |
| E | Official-language titles |
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2?
SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 relies on the test conditions and general EMC framework of EN 301 489-1, but adds product-specific arrangements for CDMA 1x equipment. In practice, that means the lab must set up the radio link in the way the terminal is intended to operate, then check whether the equipment stays within the required performance limits.
Test setup and operating modes
Clause 4 requires testing with a suitable base station simulator and the radio configuration supported by the mobile station. Immunity tests are run in both traffic mode and idle mode, which matters because a terminal can behave differently when a call is established versus waiting for paging.
Signal routing and test levels
Clauses 4.2.2 and 4.2.3 define how wanted signals are applied to 50 Ω antenna connectors or integral antennas. For immunity tests, the wanted RF signal at the EUT input must be at least 40 dB above reference sensitivity; for emission tests, it must be no more than 15 dB above it so the measuring receiver stays in range.
Exclusion bands and narrowband responses
Clause 4.3 sets the transmitter exclusion band around the carrier centre frequency and the receiver exclusion band around the relevant receiver band. Clause 4.4 explains how to distinguish a true EMC problem from a narrowband receiver response by repeating the test on adjacent CDMA channels; if the effect remains, it is treated as an EMC failure.
Performance criteria
Clause 6 sets the pass criteria. For data transfer, the Frame Error Rate (FER) using 9 600 bit/s data rate must stay within the stated limit, with a tighter or different limit for PAMR mobile terminals. For speech or audio, the forward and reverse link outputs are checked against the calibrated reference levels, and the link must remain up without loss of user control functions or stored data.
Special immunity conditions
Clause 7 and table 1 modify parts of the EN 301 489-1 immunity methods. For radiated field tests and common-mode tests, an unmodulated signal is applied first and then the test modulation. For vehicular transients, the TT performance criterion applies during pulses 3a and 3b.
What terms does SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 define?
- CDMA-PAMR - A PAMR system based on TIA/EIA/IS-2000 Spreading Rate 1 specifications.
- CDMA 1x Spread Spectrum - cdma2000 spread spectrum systems and their evolution with spreading rate 1.
- Mobile Station (MS) - The UE entity that accesses services through one or more radio interfaces.
- traffic mode - The state where the MS is switched on and a call is established.
- idle mode - The state where the MS is switched on but not transmitting.
- Frame Error Rate (FER) - The frame error rate of the forward traffic channel.
- data application ancillary - Ancillary equipment that provides send and/or receive data access to services via the UE.
Who uses SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2?
Manufacturers of CDMA 1x mobile and portable terminals use this standard when designing radios and ancillary equipment for EMC testing. Test laboratories use it to set up the test system, calibrate voice or data paths, and measure audio breakthrough or FER during immunity testing.
Quality and compliance teams use it to document operating modes, test signals, exclusion bands, and acceptance criteria. It is also relevant to buyers and regulators evaluating terminal equipment for IMT-2000 CDMA and CDMA-PAMR applications.
What changed in SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 is a revision of Part 25 that adds PAMR applications and includes a general update of the requirements and test treatment.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2?
- EN 301 489-1 - Provides the common technical requirements, general test conditions, and the basic emission and immunity framework.
- TIA-98-E - Supplies radio configuration, reference sensitivity, and FER-related performance definitions.
- TIA/EIA-126-D - Defines the loopback service option used for call setup in voice testing.
- ETSI ETR 027 - Supports audio measurement methods and acoustic coupling arrangements.
- ITU-T P.64 and ITU-T P.76 - Provide the mouth reference point and artificial head basis for voice calibration.
- ITU-R SM.329-10 - Provides the definition of necessary bandwidth used in exclusion-band treatment.
- TIA/EIA/IS-2000 Series - Supports the CDMA 1x system basis and CDMA-PAMR definition.
What does the SIST EN 301 489-25 V2.3.2 document contain?
The document contains the EMC scope, references, definitions, and abbreviations, followed by detailed test conditions, performance assessment rules, and performance criteria. It includes an applicability overview for emission and immunity, plus the special immunity conditions that modify EN 301 489-1 for this product family.
Annex B gives the voice-call calibration and audio breakthrough test setups, including portable-equipment measurement arrangements. Annex C gives the data-transfer error-rate method, including separate setups for EUTs with and without data application ancillary. The annexes are practical because they show how the terminal, test system, and monitoring equipment are connected during EMC testing.

Further product related test conditions for CDMA 1x spread spectrum mobile and portable radio equipment are specified in the present document. 4.1 General For emission and immunity tests, the test modulation, test arrangements, etc. as specified in the present document, clauses 4.1 to 4.5 shall apply. 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, unless specified otherwise. 4.2 Arrangements for test signals The provisions of EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply with the following modifications.
The wanted RF signal nominal frequency shall be selected by setting the CDMA channel to an appropriate number. A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system") according to the Radio Configuration (RC) supported by the mobile station TIA-98-E [5] using full data rate only. The test system shall be located outside of the test environment. Where possible the test of the transmitter section and receiver section of the EUT may be carried out simultaneously to reduce test time.
Immunity tests on mobile and portable radio equipment (MS) shall be performed in two modes of operation: - with a communication link established (traffic mode); and - in idle mode. When the EUT is required to be in the traffic mode, a call is set up using Loopback Service Option (see TIA/EIA-126-D [6]) according to the radio configuration supported by the mobile station (see clause 1.3 in TIA-98-E [5]), and the following conditions shall be met: - the EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum transmit power; - the "variable Data Rate Transmission" shall be disabled; - the MS shall be set for maximum data transmission rate.
