SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 783-1, published by SIST for commercially available amateur radio equipment. It specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurement for radio equipment intended for radio amateurs, so manufacturers, test laboratories, and conformity assessors can evaluate emissions, immunity, and the required test conditions. The standard was prepared as an EN to be harmonized under the R&TTE Directive.
What does SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003 specify?
SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003 applies to commercially available radio equipment intended to be used by radio amateurs within the meaning of the ITU Radio Regulations. The document focuses on technical requirements and measurement methods for that equipment, with a special emphasis on electromagnetic compatibility and radio spectrum matters.

Clause 4 sets the technical requirements, and clause 5 explains how to measure compliance. The foreword also identifies the document as part 1 of a multi-part EN, with part 2 covering the harmonized EN under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive.
What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003?
Operating profile and test frequencies
Clause 4.1 requires the supplier to declare the environmental profile, and the equipment must comply with the standard throughout that declared operating range. Clause 5.1.1 then sets the test frequencies for single-band, double-band, and multi-band equipment. In practice, the test plan has to cover the relevant bands the radio can actually use, not just one convenient channel.
Conducted unwanted emissions
Clause 4.2.1 covers unwanted emissions from the antenna port in receive or transmit standby, and emissions outside the exclusion band in transmit mode. Clause 5.3.1 requires representative modulation, a terminated non-radiating load, and measurements made with a receiver or spectrum analyser using the stated detector and bandwidth conditions. In practice, this is the check for spurious energy leaving the antenna port, and the test report has to record the modulation and any gated method used.
Radiated unwanted emissions
Clause 4.2.2 covers unwanted emissions from the enclosure in inactive, receive, or transmit standby modes, and emissions outside the exclusion band in transmit mode. Clause 5.3.2 uses the substitution method, either on an outdoor test site or in a fully anechoic RF chamber that meets the cited chamber requirements. In practice, this checks cabinet leakage and other radiated spurious signals, with height scans, rotation, and both polarizations used to find the worst case.
Conducted RF immunity
Clause 4.2.3 applies to receivers, transmitters, transceivers, transverters, RF amplifiers, and associated base station, mobile, portable, and ancillary equipment. Clause 5.4.1 applies a wanted signal and an interfering conducted RF signal through a combining network and judges performance by criteria such as maintained speech quality or data throughput. In practice, the receiver has to keep working acceptably when a disturbance is applied at its antenna port.
Limits, exclusion bands, and measurement discipline
The standard uses separate limit tables for transmit, receive/standby, and inactive or active cases, and it defines transmitter exclusion bands around the wanted emission. This matters because the wanted signal must be kept out of the spurious-emission measurement area, so the lab measures the unwanted output rather than the carrier itself. The document also ties the measurements to a peak detector and specified receiver bandwidths.
What terms does SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003 define?
- Environmental profile - the range of environmental conditions that the equipment must meet while operating.
- EUT - equipment under test, meaning the radio device being measured.
- PEP - peak envelope power, the transmitter reference used when limits are given in dBc.
- dBc - a level expressed relative to the maximum RF output PEP at the antenna port.
- Transmitter exclusion band - the frequency interval around the wanted emission that is excluded from spurious-emission measurements.
- Conducted RF immunity - the ability of a receiver chain to operate as intended when RF disturbance is applied at the antenna port.
Who uses SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003?
Manufacturers and suppliers of commercially available amateur radio equipment use this standard when designing products and declaring the intended operating environment. EMC and radio test laboratories use it for emissions and immunity measurements. Conformity assessment teams, quality managers, and procurement staff use it to check that test reports, operating bands, and declared performance line up with the standard.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003?
| Reference | Contribution |
|---|---|
| ITU Radio Regulations | Gives the amateur-radio scope basis and the necessary bandwidth reference used for exclusion bands |
| ETSI ETS 300 684 | Provides shared EMC definitions used in clauses 3 and 4 |
| EN 50147 (all parts) | Gives the chamber requirements for the alternative fully anechoic RF chamber method |
| CISPR 16-1 | Sets measuring apparatus and detector requirements for the test methods |
| Directive 98/34/EC | Provides the regulatory mandate context mentioned in the foreword |
| EN 301 783-2 | Companion part identified in the foreword as the harmonized EN under Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive |
What does the SIST EN 301 783-1 V1.1.1:2003 document contain?
The document contains limit tables for conducted and radiated unwanted emissions, plus a table for conducted RF immunity conditions. It also includes measurement bandwidth tables, transmitter exclusion-band rules, and a receiver exclusion-band approach for immunity testing. Clause 5 gives the test setups, including an outdoor test site arrangement, a fully anechoic RF chamber option, and the substitution method for radiated measurements. The methods are written for design verification, compliance testing, and certification evidence.
