Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2].
ETSI
6 Final draft ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.0 (2017-04)
1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for digital terrestrial television
transmitters as defined in table 1.1 and in table 1.2. The output power classification (table 1.1) and emission
classification (table 1.2) are combined to define a transmitter category. For example, power classification H and
emission classification 0 denotes a high power transmitter (category H0) whose OOB emissions comply with a non-
critical mask.
Table 1.1: Transmitter power classification
Power Class Description Notes
H High power transmitter Transmitter with an output power ≥ 25 W operating in the
VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to
694 MHz).
L Low power transmitter Transmitter with an output power < 25 W operating in the
VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to
694 MHz).
Table 1.2: Transmitter emission classification
Emission Conformance approach Notes
Classification
0 Non critical mask For high power transmitters, the mask defines the level of
the OOB relative to the channel power (dBc). For low power
transmitters the mask defines the absolute power limit of the
OOB (dBm). The former approach is mandated by RRC-06
(non-critical case) [i.4] for transmitters subject to
coordination.
1 Critical mask A similar but more stringent approach based on RRC-06
(sensitive case) [i.4].
2 Non-critical ACLR A set of ACLR limits defining permitted relative emission
levels into adjacent channels.
3 Critical ACLR A set of more stringent ACLR limits defining permitted
relative emission levels into adjacent channels.

The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2] under the
conditions identified in annex A.

4.2.3 Out-of-band emissions
4.2.3.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions which fall at frequencies separated from the centre frequency of the
wanted emission by less than or equal to 250 % of the channel bandwidth. For the purposes of the present document
out-of-band emissions are emissions at frequencies outside the necessary bandwidth and within the frequency ranges
f ± 17,5 MHz for 7 MHz channels, f ± 20 MHz for 8 MHz channels where f is the centre frequency of the channel,
0 0 0
irrespective of the number of carriers employed.
For mask-based approaches, the out-of-band emissions limits are given as mean power level measured at the antenna
port in a 3 kHz bandwidth.
A transmitter system typically comprises a transmitter and a channel filter (or combiner). In the case of a transmitter
supplied without an output channel filter, the manufacturer shall specify the characteristics of the filter necessary to
fulfil the required out-of-band emissions defined below. The manufacturer shall include this information in their test
report.
Improved transmitter electrical efficiency may have some minor impact on the OOB performance. The considered
trade-off between electrical efficiency and OOB transmitter performance is further considered in annex F.
4.2.3.2 Classification of transmitters
Transmitters will be classified according to power and emissions according to table 1.1 and table 1.2.
With regard to the declaration of conformity, the manufacturer shall declare which classification the equipment
complies with. For example, a transmitter conforming to classification H0 is a high power transmitter conforming to the
non-critical mask.
4.2.3.3 Limits
Out-of-band emissions shall not exceed the values set out in table 4.3 to table 4.8, subject to the specific transmitter
category (see table 1.1 and table 1.2).
Table 4.3 sets out the limits for transmitter classification L0. Table 4.4 sets out the limits for transmitter classification
L1. Table 4.5 sets out the limits for transmitter classifications L2 and L3.
Table 4.6 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H0 additionally shown in figure 4.3 and figure 4.4 for 7 MHz
channels and 8 MHz channels respectively. Table 4.7 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H1 additionally

5 Testing for compliance with technical requirements
5.1 Environmental conditions for testing
Tests defined in the present document shall be carried out at representative points within the boundary limits of the
declared operational environmental profile for the transmitter system.
Where technical performance varies subject to environmental conditions, tests shall be carried out under a sufficient
variety of environmental conditions (within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile) to
give confidence of compliance for the affected technical requirements.
5.2 Interpretation of the measurement results
The interpretation of the results recorded in a test report for the measurements described in the present document shall
be as follows:
• the measured value related to the corresponding limit will be used to decide whether an equipment meets the
requirements of the present document;
• the value of the measurement uncertainty for the measurement of each parameter shall be included in the test
report;
• the recorded value of the measurement uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or less than the
figures in table 5.1.
For the test methods, according to the present document, the measurement uncertainty figures shall be calculated and
shall correspond to an expansion factor (coverage factor) k = 1,96 or k = 2 (which provide confidence levels of
respectively 95 % and 95,45 % in the case where the distributions characterizing the actual measurement uncertainties
are normal (Gaussian)). Principles for the calculation of measurement uncertainty are contained in ETSI
TR 100 028 [i.8], in particular in annex D of the ETSI TR 100 028-2 [i.9].
Table 5.1 is based on such expansion factors.
Table 5.1: Maximum measurement uncertainty
Parameter Condition Uncertainty
Spurious emissions (Conducted emissions) f ≤ 2,2 GHz 2,5 dB
3,0 dB
2,2 GHz < f ≤ 3 GHz
Out-of-band emissions (Conducted emissions) 2,5 dB
NOTE: Please refer to CENELEC EN 55016-4-2 [5], clause 4.1, table 1.

5.3 Test conditions
5.3.1 Test frequency range
Limits on unwanted emissions for radio equipment are considered to be applicable to the range 9 kHz to 3 GHz as per
Recommendation ITU-R SM.329-12 [6], clause 2.
Before starting the testing procedure measurement uncertainty of the equipment in use, including cables and couplers
shall be established and stated in the test report. Where measurement uncertainty within the limits contained in table 5.1
cannot be achieved the test report shall state the limiting circumstances.
The following reference bandwidths are to be used:
For spurious emissions:
- 100 kHz.

5.4 Essential radio test suites
5.4.1 Introduction
Compliance with the present document shall be demonstrated by measurements by both the equipment (transmitter)
manufacturer and the system integrator of the final installation.
For the purpose of the test conducted by the equipment manufacturer, if the transmitter does not include any output
+channel filter, the equipment manufacturer has two options:
• Physically add an external output channel filter after the transmitter. The filter shall be representative of the
multiplexer or filter existing in operational conditions and viewed by the transmitted output when installed. In
this case the antenna port measurements shall be performed at the output of this extra filter.
• Use the composite approach to account for the response of the final channel/combiner filter.
As the output channel filter/combiner cannot increase the level of spurious emissions, it is possible for an equipment
manufacturer to demonstrate compliance with the spurious emission limits by direct measurements on the equipment.
5.4.2 Spurious emissions
5.4.2.1 Measurement approaches
There are two practical approaches for the measurement of spurious emissions:
• Direct measurement using a high power attenuator between the antenna port and the spectrum analyser. Here a
composite approach to take into account the response of the measurement filter could be used (as described in
annex C).
• Measurements using a coupling device between the antenna port and the spectrum analyser. Here a composite
approach to take into account the response of both the measurement filter and the coupling device should be
used.
ETSI
19 Final draft ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.0 (2017-04)
If measurements are made using a high power attenuator, they should be carried out across the full spurious emission
frequency range.
Where it is necessary to use a directional coupler the measurement frequency range may be restricted (see annex C).
5.4.2.2 Initial conditions
Test environment:
• The normal operating environment, as declared by the equipment manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall test at the following frequencies:
1) the lowest operating frequency of the EUT;
2) the highest operating frequency of the EUT;
3) a frequency corresponding to the arithmetic mean between 1) and 2) above, rounded to the nearest broadcast
channel.
For the purposes of this test, the manufacturer shall ensure that the full rated output power of the transmitter will be
maintained during this test with the modulation defined in clause 5.3.2.
A system integrator shall repeat the test at the frequency and power licensed by the national regulator. This condition
will be maintained during the test.
5.4.2.3 Test procedure
1) operate the EUT at each of the test frequencies as defined in clause 5.4.2.2;
2) measure the results on the spectrum analyser as described in clause 5.4.2.5, figure 5.1, note 1, note 2, note 3,
note 4 and note 5.
5.4.2.4 Test requirements
The results obtained shall be compared to the limits in clause 4.2.2 in order to demonstrate compliance.
ETSI
20 Final draft ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.0 (2017-04)
5.4.2.5 Test arrangement
NOTE 1: The measurement filter should suppress the wanted output signal so that no intermodulation products are
generated by the spectrum analyser. The insertion loss throughout the measuring range should be known.
NOTE 2: For high power transmitters the preferred set up would require A to be connected to B and A1 to be
connected to B1.
NOTE 3: For low power transmitters the preferred set up would require A to be connected to C and A1 to be
connected to C1.
NOTE 4: The transmitter manufacturer can conduct this test using either an output channel filter or using the
composite approach (see annex C). The filter shall be representative of the multiplexer or filter existing in
operational conditions and viewed by the transmitted output when installed. In this case the antenna port
measurements shall be performed at the output of this extra filter. For the composite approach, the filter
response data shall be representative of the type used in operational conditions.
NOTE 5: The characteristics of the coupler will be frequency dependent and the coupling factor typically increases
6 dB/octave. Moding in high power coaxial feeders may prevent reliable measurements at high
frequencies (see annex C). At low frequencies, the low coupling ratio may cause dynamic range concerns
(see annex C).

Introduction
The present document has been produced to update the existing standard in line with the requirements of article 3.2 of
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2].
ETSI
6 ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06)
1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for digital terrestrial television
transmitters as defined in table 1.1 and in table 1.2. The output power classification (table 1.1) and emission
classification (table 1.2) are combined to define a transmitter category. For example, power classification H and
emission classification 0 denotes a high power transmitter (category H0) whose OOB emissions comply with a
non-critical mask.
Table 1.1: Transmitter power classification
Power Class Description Notes
H High power transmitter Transmitter with an output power ≥ 25 W operating in the
VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to
694 MHz).
L Low power transmitter Transmitter with an output power < 25 W operating in the
VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to
694 MHz).
Table 1.2: Transmitter emission classification
Emission Conformance approach Notes
Classification
0 Non critical mask For high power transmitters, the mask defines the level of
the OOB relative to the channel power (dBc). For low power
transmitters the mask defines the absolute power limit of the
OOB (dBm). The former approach is mandated by RRC-06
(non-critical case) [i.4] for transmitters subject to
coordination.
1 Critical mask A similar but more stringent approach based on RRC-06
(sensitive case) [i.4].
2 Non-critical ACLR A set of ACLR limits defining permitted relative emission
levels into adjacent channels.
3 Critical ACLR A set of more stringent ACLR limits defining permitted
relative emission levels into adjacent channels.

The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2] under the
conditions identified in annex A.

out-of-band emissions are emissions at frequencies outside the necessary bandwidth and within the frequency ranges
f ± 17,5 MHz for 7 MHz channels, f ± 20 MHz for 8 MHz channels where f is the centre frequency of the channel,
0 0 0
irrespective of the number of carriers employed.
For mask-based approaches, the out-of-band emissions limits are given as mean power level measured at the antenna
port in a 3 kHz bandwidth.
A transmitter system typically comprises a transmitter and a channel filter (or combiner). In the case of a transmitter
supplied without an output channel filter, the manufacturer shall specify the characteristics of the filter necessary to
fulfil the required out-of-band emissions defined below. The manufacturer shall include this information in their test
report.
Improved transmitter electrical efficiency may have some minor impact on the OOB performance. The considered
trade-off between electrical efficiency and OOB transmitter performance is further considered in annex F.
4.2.3.2 Classification of transmitters
Transmitters will be classified according to power and emissions according to table 1.1 and table 1.2.
With regard to the declaration of conformity, the manufacturer shall declare which classification the equipment
complies with. For example, a transmitter conforming to classification H0 is a high power transmitter conforming to the
non-critical mask.
4.2.3.3 Limits
Out-of-band emissions shall not exceed the values set out in table 4.3 to table 4.8, subject to the specific transmitter
category (see table 1.1 and table 1.2).
Table 4.3 sets out the limits for transmitter classification L0. Table 4.4 sets out the limits for transmitter classification
L1. Table 4.5 sets out the limits for transmitter classifications L2 and L3.
Table 4.6 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H0 additionally shown in figure 4.3 and figure 4.4 for 7 MHz
channels and 8 MHz channels respectively. Table 4.7 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H1 additionally
shown in figure 4.5 and figure 4.6 for 7 MHz channels and 8 MHz channels respectively. Table 4.8 sets out the limits
for transmitter classification H3.

5 Testing for compliance with technical requirements
5.1 Environmental conditions for testing
Tests defined in the present document shall be carried out at representative points within the boundary limits of the
declared operational environmental profile for the transmitter system.
Where technical performance varies subject to environmental conditions, tests shall be carried out under a sufficient
variety of environmental conditions (within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile) to
give confidence of compliance for the affected technical requirements.
5.2 Interpretation of the measurement results
The interpretation of the results recorded in a test report for the measurements described in the present document shall
be as follows:
• the measured value related to the corresponding limit will be used to decide whether an equipment meets the
requirements of the present document;
• the value of the measurement uncertainty for the measurement of each parameter shall be included in the test
report;
• the recorded value of the measurement uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or less than the
figures in table 5.1.
For the test methods, according to the present document, the measurement uncertainty figures shall be calculated and
shall correspond to an expansion factor (coverage factor) k = 1,96 or k = 2 (which provide confidence levels of
respectively 95 % and 95,45 % in the case where the distributions characterizing the actual measurement uncertainties
are normal (Gaussian)). Principles for the calculation of measurement uncertainty are contained in ETSI
TR 100 028 [i.8], in particular in annex D of the ETSI TR 100 028-2 [i.9].
Table 5.1 is based on such expansion factors.

5.4 Essential radio test suites
5.4.1 Introduction
Compliance with the present document shall be demonstrated by measurements by both the equipment (transmitter)
manufacturer and the system integrator of the final installation.
For the purpose of the test conducted by the equipment manufacturer, if the transmitter does not include any output
+channel filter, the equipment manufacturer has two options:
• Physically add an external output channel filter after the transmitter. The filter shall be representative of the
multiplexer or filter existing in operational conditions and viewed by the transmitted output when installed. In
this case the antenna port measurements shall be performed at the output of this extra filter.
• Use the composite approach to account for the response of the final channel/combiner filter.
As the output channel filter/combiner cannot increase the level of spurious emissions, it is possible for an equipment
manufacturer to demonstrate compliance with the spurious emission limits by direct measurements on the equipment.
5.4.2 Spurious emissions
5.4.2.1 Measurement approaches
There are two practical approaches for the measurement of spurious emissions:
• Direct measurement using a high power attenuator between the antenna port and the spectrum analyser. Here a
composite approach to take into account the response of the measurement filter could be used (as described in
annex C).
• Measurements using a coupling device between the antenna port and the spectrum analyser. Here a composite
approach to take into account the response of both the measurement filter and the coupling device should be
used.
ETSI
19 ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06)
If measurements are made using a high power attenuator, they should be carried out across the full spurious emission
frequency range.
Where it is necessary to use a directional coupler the measurement frequency range may be restricted (see annex C).
5.4.2.2 Initial conditions
Test environment:
• The normal operating environment, as declared by the equipment manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall test at the following frequencies:
1) the lowest operating frequency of the EUT;
2) the highest operating frequency of the EUT;
3) a frequency corresponding to the arithmetic mean between 1) and 2) above, rounded to the nearest broadcast
channel.
For the purposes of this test, the manufacturer shall ensure that the full rated output power of the transmitter will be
maintained during this test with the modulation defined in clause 5.3.2.
A system integrator shall repeat the test at the frequency and power licensed by the national regulator. This condition
will be maintained during the test.
5.4.2.3 Test procedure
1) Operate the EUT at each of the test frequencies as defined in clause 5.4.2.2.
2) Measure the results on the spectrum analyser as described in clause 5.4.2.5, figure 5.1, note 1, note 2, note 3,
note 4 and note 5.
5.4.2.4 Test requirements
The results obtained shall be compared to the limits in clause 4.2.2 in order to demonstrate compliance.
ETSI
20 ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06)
5.4.2.5 Test arrangement
NOTE 1: The measurement filter should suppress the wanted output signal so that no intermodulation products are
generated by the spectrum analyser. The insertion loss throughout the measuring range should be known.
NOTE 2: For high power transmitters the preferred set up would require A to be connected to B and A1 to be
connected to B1.
NOTE 3: For low power transmitters the preferred set up would require A to be connected to C and A1 to be
connected to C1.
NOTE 4: The transmitter manufacturer can conduct this test using either an output channel filter or using the
composite approach (see annex C). The filter shall be representative of the multiplexer or filter existing in
operational conditions and viewed by the transmitted output when installed. In this case the antenna port
measurements shall be performed at the output of this extra filter. For the composite approach, the filter
response data shall be representative of the type used in operational conditions.
NOTE 5: The characteristics of the coupler will be frequency dependent and the coupling factor typically increases
6 dB/octave. Moding in high power coaxial feeders may prevent reliable measurements at high
frequencies (see annex C). At low frequencies, the low coupling ratio may cause dynamic range concerns
(see annex C).

5.4.3 Out-of-band emissions
5.4.3.1 Initial conditions
Test environment:
• The normal operating environment, as declared by the equipment manufacturer.
The manufacturer shall test at the following frequencies:

2) the highest operating frequency of the EUT;
3) a frequency corresponding to the arithmetic mean between 1) and 2) above, rounded to the nearest broadcast
channel.

Introduction The present document has been produced to update the existing standard in line with the requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2].
ETSI ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06) 6 1 Scope The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for digital terrestrial television transmitters as defined in table 1.1 and in table 1.2. The output power classification (table 1.1) and emission classification (table 1.2) are combined to define a transmitter category. For example, power classification H and emission classification 0 denotes a high power transmitter (category H0) whose OOB emissions comply with a non-critical mask.
Table 1.1: Transmitter power classification Power Class Description Notes H High power transmitter Transmitter with an output power ≥ 25 W operating in the VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to 694 MHz). L Low power transmitter Transmitter with an output power < 25 W operating in the VHF band (174 MHz to 230 MHz) or UHF band (470 MHz to 694 MHz).
Table 1.2: Transmitter emission classification Emission Classification Conformance approach Notes 0 Non critical mask For high power transmitters, the mask defines the level of the OOB relative to the channel power (dBc). For low power transmitters the mask defines the absolute power limit of the OOB (dBm). The former approach is mandated by RRC-06 (non-critical case) [i.4] for transmitters subject to coordination. 1 Critical mask A similar but more stringent approach based on RRC-06 (sensitive case) [i.4]. 2 Non-critical ACLR A set of ACLR limits defining permitted relative emission levels into adjacent channels. 3 Critical ACLR A set of more stringent ACLR limits defining permitted relative emission levels into adjacent channels.

The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of the present document which are identified as applicable in annex A at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile. 4.2 Conformance requirements 4.2.1 Introduction The essential parameters and corresponding technical requirements aiming to meet the requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.2] are shown in table 4.1. To fulfil this essential parameter the compliance with all the corresponding technical requirements in table 4.1 shall be verified. Table 4.1: Cross references Essential parameter Corresponding technical requirements Conducted emissions at the antenna port
4.2.2 Spurious emissions 4.2.3 Out-of-band emissions (OOB)
Both spurious emission limits and OOB limits are defined in terms of conducted power at the antenna port. The boundary between spurious domain emissions and out-of-band emissions is shown in figure 4.1.
Figure 4.1: Definition of out-of-band and Spurious Domains 4.2.2 Spurious emissions 4.2.2.1 Definition Spurious emissions are unwanted emissions at frequencies separated by more than 250 % of the channel bandwidth from the centre of the occupied spectrum. These include harmonic emissions, parasitic emissions, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products but exclude out-of-band emissions. For the purposes of the present document spurious emissions are emissions at frequencies outside the frequency range
f0 ± 17,5 MHz for 7 MHz channels, f0 ± 20 MHz for 8 MHz channels, where f0 is the centre frequency of the channel, irrespective of the number of carriers employed.
ETSI ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06) 11 4.2.2.2 Limits Spurious emissions shall not exceed the values set out in table 4.2 additionally shown in figure 4.2, for the frequency range 9 kHz to 3 GHz. In the case of a DVB-T/T2 transmitter supplied without an internal bandpass output filter, the manufacturer shall specify the characteristics of the filter necessary to fulfil the spurious emission limits defined in table 4.2. The manufacturer shall include this information in the test report.

ETSI ETSI EN 302 296 V2.1.1 (2017-06) 12 4.2.3 Out-of-band emissions 4.2.3.1 Definition Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions which fall at frequencies separated from the centre frequency of the wanted emission by less than or equal to 250 % of the channel bandwidth. For the purposes of the present document out-of-band emissions are emissions at frequencies outside the necessary bandwidth and within the frequency ranges f0 ± 17,5 MHz for 7 MHz channels, f0 ± 20 MHz for 8 MHz channels where f0 is the centre frequency of the channel, irrespective of the number of carriers employed. For mask-based approaches, the out-of-band emissions limits are given as mean power level measured at the antenna port in a 3 kHz bandwidth. A transmitter system typically comprises a transmitter and a channel filter (or combiner). In the case of a transmitter supplied without an output channel filter, the manufacturer shall specify the characteristics of the filter necessary to fulfil the required out-of-band emissions defined below. The manufacturer shall include this information in their test report. Improved transmitter electrical efficiency may have some minor impact on the OOB performance. The considered trade-off between electrical efficiency and OOB transmitter performance is further considered in annex F. 4.2.3.2 Classification of transmitters Transmitters will be classified according to power and emissions according to table 1.1 and table 1.2.
With regard to the declaration of conformity, the manufacturer shall declare which classification the equipment complies with. For example, a transmitter conforming to classification H0 is a high power transmitter conforming to the non-critical mask. 4.2.3.3 Limits Out-of-band emissions shall not exceed the values set out in table 4.3 to table 4.8, subject to the specific transmitter category (see table 1.1 and table 1.2).
Table 4.3 sets out the limits for transmitter classification L0. Table 4.4 sets out the limits for transmitter classification L1. Table 4.5 sets out the limits for transmitter classifications L2 and L3. Table 4.6 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H0 additionally shown in figure 4.3 and figure 4.4 for 7 MHz channels and 8 MHz channels respectively. Table 4.7 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H1 additionally shown in figure 4.5 and figure 4.6 for 7 MHz channels and 8 MHz channels respectively. Table 4.8 sets out the limits for transmitter classification H3.
