SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETS 300 609-4 Edition 2 from ETSI. It specifies radio frequency (RF) test methods for GSM 900 and DCS 1800 repeaters, which receive, amplify, and retransmit signals between the Mobile Station (MS) and the Base Transceiver Station (BTS). Engineers, test labs, manufacturers, and purchasers use it to check repeater performance, emissions, and gain behaviour under defined test conditions.
What does SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 specify?
SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 specifies RF tests for GSM Phase 2 and Phase 2+ repeaters used in the GSM 900 and DCS 1800 bands. It covers how to test repeaters that amplify both MS and BTS signals, and it organizes the document into general conditions, three main test clauses, and one informative annex.
| Part | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Clause 1 | Scope |
| Clause 2 | Normative references |
| Clause 3 | Definitions and abbreviations |
| Clause 4 | General test conditions and manufacturer declarations |
| Clause 5 | Spurious emissions |
| Clause 6 | Intermodulation attenuation |
| Clause 7 | Out of band gain |
| Annex A | Informative testing of gain for part band repeaters |
The scope includes repeaters that operate on the GSM MS transmit band and the GSM BTS transmit band. The document also explains how to handle broadband repeaters and channelized repeaters, which matters in practice because the test setup depends on whether the repeater works across a whole band or only selected channels.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003?
Clause 4 sets the basic test conditions. SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 requires a normal test environment, an extreme test environment when declared, and an extreme temperature procedure based on the manufacturer’s declared operating limits. In practice, the manufacturer must declare the operating band or bands, the maximum rated output power per channel, and the number of supported channels.
Spurious emissions
Clause 5 checks conducted and radiated spurious emissions with the repeater set to maximum gain. The measurements use a 50-ohm load, defined input signal conditions, and frequency offsets away from the carrier. In practice, this tells you whether unwanted emissions stay within the permitted limits when the repeater is active and when it is idle.
Intermodulation attenuation
Clause 6 tests intermodulation products using two continuous RF input signals. The spacing between the signals is set to reflect network use, and the third-order products are measured with a selective measurement device. This matters because nonlinear behaviour can create interference products that degrade other channels.
Out of band gain
Clause 7 measures gain outside the relevant MS or BTS transmit band and also at harmonic frequencies. The repeater is driven in its linear region, and the average output power is recorded for each offset point. This helps confirm that the repeater does not amplify signals too strongly outside the intended operating band.
Informative annex for part band repeaters
Annex A gives a method for repeaters that operate on only part of a GSM band. It is informative, so it supports acceptance or regulatory testing, but it is not a normative requirement of the ETS. In practice, it helps when an operator uses only part of a band and needs agreed out of band gain limits for that narrower operating range.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 define?
- Broadband repeater - A repeater designed to work on any combination of ARFCNs within its operating band, up to a specified maximum number.
- Channelized repeater - A repeater designed for a specified subset of ARFCNs, either fixed during manufacture or programmable.
- Repeater - A bi-directional RF amplifier that receives and retransmits both MS and BTS signals in the GSM transmit bands.
- Spurious emissions - Emissions at frequencies other than the carrier and its normal modulation sidebands.
- MS - Mobile Station, the user terminal side of the GSM link.
- BTS - Base Transceiver Station, the network radio side of the GSM link.
- RF - Radio Frequency, the signal domain used for the repeater tests.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003?
Manufacturers use this standard when designing and declaring repeater performance. Test laboratories use it to set up conducted, radiated, and two-tone RF measurements. Quality managers and buyers use it to confirm that a repeater supports the intended band, output power, and channel count, and regulators or acceptance teams use it for conformance and part-band testing.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003?
The standard relies on ETS 300 577 (GSM 05.05) for the radio transmission and reception requirements that define the relevant GSM bands and the reference requirements for emissions and gain. ETS 300 113 supports the radiated emissions test site conditions. ETS 300 019-1-0, ETS 300 019-1-3, ETS 300 019-1-4, IEC 68-2, and IEC 721 provide the environmental classification and test procedures used for normal and extreme test conditions. ETR 100 (GSM 01.04) supplies the GSM abbreviations and acronyms.
What does the SIST ETS 300 609-4 E2:2003 document contain?
The document contains the test framework, environmental conditions, reference bands, and measurement setups needed to evaluate GSM repeaters. Table 1 lists the relevant MS and BTS transmit bands, Table 2 defines the normal test environment, and Table 3 sets measurement bandwidths for spurious emissions.
It also contains detailed test cases for conducted spurious emissions, radiated spurious emissions, intermodulation attenuation, and out of band gain. Each test explains the required signal conditions, terminations, antenna-port handling, and how to record the measured result.
Annex A adds a method for part band repeaters, where performance outside a limited operating band must be agreed before testing. That annex is useful when a repeater is deployed for only part of a GSM band and needs a tailored gain check.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) describes the Radio Frequency (RF) tests for
GSM 900 and DCS 1800 repeaters which receive, amplify, and retransmit a received Mobile Station (MS)
signal in the GSM MS transmit band and simultaneously receive, amplify and retransmit a received Base
Transceiver Station (BTS) RF signal in the GSM BTS transmit band.
This ETS is applicable to repeaters meeting the requirements of either GSM Phase 2 or GSM Phase 2+.
Unless otherwise stated, all tests are applicable to repeaters meeting Phase 2 and/or Phase 2+ GSM
requirements, because the requirements of the Phase 2 and Phase 2+ core GSM specifications which are
referenced in the test are consistent. Most differences between Phase 2 and Phase 2+ requirements
represent Phase 2+ features which are optional for the BSS to support.

4 General
A repeater can be designed to amplify the whole transmit RF band or just a part of the band. In the latter
case the repeater can be either Broadband, with frequency band selective filtering, or channelized, with
channel selective filtering.
4.1 Radio frequency bands
A repeater, as a bi-directional amplifier, can amplify and transmit a received MS signal in the MS transmit
band, simultaneously it can amplify and transmit a received BTS signal in the BTS transmit band. The
relevant MS and BTS transmit bands, as defined in GSM 05.05 [6], are given in table 1.
Table 1: MS and BTS transmit RF bands

NOTE: In some circumstances, for instance when an operator (or more than one operator who
co-ordinate the use of repeaters), is not allocated a complete band as defined in
table 1, it may be necessary to restrict the frequency range of operations of repeaters.
