SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 is the Slovenian edition of Amendment 1 to ETS 300 198, a European Telecommunications Standard from ETSI. It updates the 23 GHz radio relay standard for systems carrying digital signals and analogue video signals, and it aligns the text for use as a harmonised standard under the EMC Directive together with ETS 300 385.
What does SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 specify?
SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 specifies amendment text for ETS 300 198, not a new standalone radio system standard. Its purpose is to convert ETS 300 198 into a harmonised standard and to identify the technical specifications that matter for EMC Directive compliance.
The amendment is organized around a revised foreword and two normative annexes.
| Annex | What it covers |
|---|---|
| Annex B | The parts of ETS 300 198 relevant to compliance with the essential requirements of Council Directive 89/336/EEC |
| Annex C | The ERC Decision for approval regulations for radio relay systems operating between 21.2 GHz and 23.6 GHz, based on ETS 300 198 |
In practice, the amendment helps authorities and manufacturers see which parts of ETS 300 198 are tied to approval and EMC conformity, and which technical choices remain linked to national licensing and planning.
What are the key requirements of SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003?
The amendment focuses on the EMC-related and approval-regulation uses of ETS 300 198. The most important points are the test areas and system parameters named in Annex B and Annex C.
EMC compliance areas in Annex B
Annex B links ETS 300 198 subclauses to EMC Directive topics. For digital and wide band analogue systems, it points to transmitter spurious emissions, receiver spurious emissions, and receiver immunity against continuous-wave (CW) spurious interference.
In practice, this tells a test laboratory or compliance team which transmitter and receiver behaviours need to be checked when assessing EMC-related conformity.
Approval-regulation parameters in Annex C
Annex C contains the ERC Decision that uses ETS 300 198 as the technical base for approval regulations. It covers radio relay equipment in the fixed service operating in the 21.2 GHz to 21.4 GHz and 22.0 GHz to 23.6 GHz bands, with power levels up to 1 W.
That matters because it links the standard to national approval rules and tells regulators which technical limits and measurement methods can be used for market access.
Digital system items listed for approval
For digital systems, Annex 1 to the ERC Decision points to parameters such as transmission capacity, baseband parameters, transmitter characteristics, receiver characteristics, bit error ratio (BER) performance, and interference sensitivity.
For a manufacturer, this means the equipment is not judged only on RF output - its payload capacity, receiver behaviour, and tolerance to interference also matter.
Wide band analogue system items listed for approval
For wide band analogue systems, Annex 1 points to transmit/receive capacity, baseband parameters, transmitter and receiver characteristics, receiver threshold, and interference sensitivity.
In practice, this means analogue video relay equipment has to be specified and tested as a whole link, not only as a radio front end.
Channel-spacing options and national choices
Annex 1 shows that ETS 300 198 covers several channel-spacing options for digital systems and fewer options for wide band analogue systems. Annexes 2 and 3 then record national variations for digital and analogue adoption choices.
That is useful when a purchaser or integrator needs to know which bandwidth option or environmental condition class applies in a specific country.
What terms does SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 define?
- European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) - A technical standard used by ETSI as the basis for common European telecommunications requirements.
- European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI) - The standards body that prepared ETS 300 198 and this amendment.
- Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) Directive - The EU directive referenced for the harmonised-standard use of this amendment.
- European Radiocommunications Committee (ERC) - The body that issued the approval-related decision reproduced in Annex C.
- Conference of Postal and Telecommunications Administrations (CEPT) - The regional organization whose member administrations are intended to apply the ERC Decision.
- Equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.) - A key radio-planning parameter mentioned as part of national licensing and frequency planning.
- Bit error ratio (BER) - A digital performance measure used in the approval-related parameters for digital systems.
Who uses SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003?
This amendment is used by radio relay equipment manufacturers, conformity assessment laboratories, spectrum and approval authorities, and national administrations. It is also relevant to system designers and operators who need to match equipment to national licensing conditions, channel spacing options, and EMC-related compliance checks.
What changed in SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 is Amendment 1 to the first edition of ETS 300 198. The amendment:
- replaces the foreword to describe ETS 300 198 as a harmonised standard work item with ETS 300 385;
- adds that the technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive are listed in Annex B;
- adds normative Annex B with the EMC-related subclauses;
- adds normative Annex C with the ERC Decision for approval regulations.
Which standards are used with SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003?
- ETS 300 385 - Named as the companion standard used together with ETS 300 198 for harmonised-standard status.
- Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive) - The directive for which Annex B identifies the relevant technical specifications.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 13-02 - Named in the decision background as the basis for the ETS.
- CEPT Recommendation T/R 01-05 - Named for transitional arrangements linked to implementation of the ERC Decision.
What does the SIST ETS 300 198/A1 E1:2003 document contain?
The document contains the amendment text, the revised foreword, and the inserted normative Annex B and Annex C. Annex B maps the relevant ETS 300 198 subclauses to EMC compliance topics, while Annex C reproduces the ERC Decision and its annexes for approval regulations. It also includes informational tables showing national adoption choices for digital and analogue elements, including channel spacing and environmental condition options.

EXPLANATORY MEMORANDUM
1. INTRODUCTION
The free movement of radiocommunications goods and the provision of Europe-wide services for
radiocommunications are only achievable if there exist common regulations throughout Europe regarding availability
of frequency bands, approval requirements and border crossing procedures. A basic requirement to fulfil these
objectives is the Europe-wide implementation of national regulations based on the European Telecommunications
Standards (ETSs) developed by the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This Decision (ERC/DEC/(96)09) provides the necessary mechanism for CEPT Administrations to commit
themselves to implement, within their national regimes, European Telecommunications Standard 300 198 and
withdraw any conflicting national standard.
2. BACKGROUND
Both the ERC and ETSI are involved in the development of common regulations, as described in (1) above. The
Memorandum of Understanding between ERC and ETSI explains the respective responsibilities of the two
organisations and its annex describes the principles of co-operation. The ERC, for its part, should, inter alia, adopt
Decisions on the introduction of ETSI standards into approval regimes.
ETS 300 198 has been prepared by the Transmission and Multiplexing (TM) Technical Committee of ETSI. The
standard has undergone the ETSI standards approval procedure and is now published as an ETS.
The ETS is based on CEPT Recommendation T/R 13-02.
The use of the frequency range (21.2 to 23.6 GHz ) covered by ETS 300 198 is not harmonised within CEPT.
Administrations have adopted different arrangements, to meet national requirements, for frequency bands and
channel separations (3.5, 7, 14, 28, 56 and 112 MHz). Further, the equipment used in this frequency range is subject
to national licensing and frequency planning which requires specification of, inter alia, frequency of operation and
equivalent isotropically radiated power (e.i.r.p.).
Nevertheless, there are a number of parameters, in particular those considered by the ERC as essential for spectrum
management purposes , which can be harmonised by adopting within approval regulations the limit values and
measurement methods provided in ETS 300 198.
