4.3.1 General
The emission measurement and immunity test exclusions are referred to as "exclusion bands" and are defined in the
clauses 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 of the present document.
The frequencies on which the EUT is intended to operate, shall be excluded from conducted and radiated RF immunity
tests.
The frequencies on which the transmitter part of the EUT is intended to operate shall be excluded from emission
measurements when performed in transmit mode of operation.
During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of LP-AMIs and/or
associated LP-AMI-Ps.
4.3.2 Exclusion band for receivers
The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers), defined in table 1, is determined as
follows:
• for receivers capable of operating on 16 or more channels within the frequency band specified in table 1 and
not having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the used
frequency channel minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is
the upper frequency of the used frequency channel plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated
extension value shall be based on the operating frequency;
• for receivers capable of operating on more than one frequency and having an alignment range, the lower
frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the alignment range minus the extension value given
in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range plus
the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension values shall be based on the centre frequency of
the alignment range;
• for wide band receivers, i.e. receivers operating in a non-channelized arrangement, the lower frequency of the
exclusion band is the lower frequency of the intended operating band minus the extension value given in
table 1 and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the intended operating band
plus the extension value given in table 1, or the total exclusion band is twice the intended operating frequency
band of the receiver c

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 otherwise specified. If the EUT can be used with
several types of antenna the test shall be repeated for each type of antenna.
LP-AMI devices (active medical implants) are designed to be implanted within a human body. These radio systems are
isolated from disturbances by the surrounding body tissue. In order to adequately assess the EMC characteristics of
active medical implants devices , the use of a simulated man is necessary. See annex C for additional details. The
provisions of annex C are intended to provide an operational environment that simulates, to the extent possible, actual
usage conditions for internal implanted devices. It is necessary to use this or another appropriate special fixture when
making emission measurements and immunity tests with radiated RF fields.

4.3 RF exclusion band of radio equipment
4.3.1 General
The emission measurement and immunity test exclusions are referred to as "exclusion bands" and are defined in the
clauses 4.3.2 and 4.3.3 of the present document.
The frequencies on which the EUT is intended to operate, shall be excluded from conducted and radiated RF immunity
tests.
The frequencies on which the transmitter part of the EUT is intended to operate shall be excluded from emission
measurements when performed in transmit mode of operation.
During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of LP-AMIs and/or
associated LP-AMI-Ps.
4.3.2 Exclusion band for receivers
The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers), defined in table 1, is determined as
follows:
• for receivers capable of operating on 16 or more channels within the frequency band specified in table 1 and
not having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the used
frequency channel minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is
the upper frequency of the used frequency channel plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated
extension value shall be based on the operating frequency;
• for receivers capable of operating on more than one frequency and having an alignment range, the lower
frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the alignment range minus the extension value given
in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range plus
the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension values shall be based on the centre frequency of
the alignment range;
• for wide band receivers, i.e. receivers operating in a non-channelized arrangement, the lower frequency of the
exclusion band is the lower frequency of the intended operating band minus the extension value given in
table 1 and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper
