SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 is the SIST adoption of ETSI EN 300 609-4 Version 8.0.2, an ETSI European Standard for radio-frequency testing of GSM Base Station System repeaters. It specifies how GSM450, GSM480, GSM900 and DCS1800 repeaters are tested for Phase 2 and Phase 2+ use, so manufacturers, test laboratories and purchasers can judge whether a repeater behaves correctly in the GSM network bands.
What does SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 specify?
SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 specifies RF test methods and conformance checks for GSM repeaters. The standard is limited to repeaters used in the GSM BSS context, including broadband, channelized and frequency-shifting repeater systems, and it ties the tests to the GSM450, GSM480, GSM900 and DCS1800 transmit bands.
The document is organized as follows:
- Clause 1 - Scope
- Clause 2 - References
- Clause 3 - Definitions and abbreviations
- Clause 4 - General requirements for bands, test environments, declarations and measurement methods
- Clauses 5 to 10 - The individual RF tests and their limits
- Annex A - Informative test method for gain outside the operating band in part-band repeaters
- Annex B - Informative change history

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003?
SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 focuses on a small set of RF behaviours that matter in network operation: unwanted emissions, linearity, band-limiting, frequency accuracy and modulation quality.
General setup and manufacturer declarations
Clause 4 requires the manufacturer to declare the operating band or bands, maximum rated output power per channel, number of channels supported and supported modulation methods. It also defines the normal test environment and the extreme environmental declarations used for some tests, so the lab knows which conditions the repeater is intended to withstand.
Spurious emissions
Clause 5 measures conducted spurious emissions at the antenna ports and radiated spurious emissions from the cabinet and structure. The repeater is tested at maximum gain, with and without an RF input signal, which matters because a repeater can radiate unwanted energy even when it is otherwise working normally.
Intermodulation attenuation
Clause 6 checks the level of intermodulation products created by non-linear parts of the repeater when two RF signals are applied. In practice, this shows whether the repeater will create interference products when two nearby channels are present.
Out-of-band gain
Clause 7 measures gain outside the relevant MS or BTS transmit band and at harmonic frequencies. This is important for preventing a repeater from amplifying signals it should reject, especially in installations that only use part of a GSM band.
Frequency error and modulation accuracy for frequency-shift systems
Clause 8 applies to repeaters using frequency shift and checks average frequency error. Clause 9 checks phase error for GMSK modulation, and clause 10 checks modulation accuracy for 8-PSK modulation. These tests matter because frequency-shifting repeaters can distort or shift the signal path, so the system must still deliver a usable GSM signal.
What terms does SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 define?
- Broadband repeater - A repeater designed to operate on any combination of ARFCNs, up to a specified maximum, within its operating band.
- Channelized repeater - A repeater designed for a specified subset of ARFCNs within its operating band, with the channel plan fixed at manufacture or programmable.
- Repeater system using frequency shift - A system with a master unit near the BTS and at least one remote unit near the coverage area, where channels are shifted to different GSM channels and then shifted back.
- Repeater - A bi-directional RF amplifier that receives, amplifies and retransmits MS and BTS signals in the GSM bands.
- Spurious emissions - Emissions at frequencies other than the carrier and its normal sidebands.
- BTS - Base Transceiver Station.
- MS - Mobile Station.
- RF - Radio Frequency.
Who uses SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003?
SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 is used by repeater manufacturers, RF test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and network operators. Manufacturers use it to design repeaters and declare their capabilities. Test labs use it for type testing and measurement setup. Operators and buyers use it when checking whether a repeater is suitable for deployment in a GSM network, especially where band use must be controlled.
What changed in SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 is the Release 1999 publication update of the standard. The change history records additions and updates for part-band repeaters, intermodulation attenuation, R-GSM band references, minimum offsets for spurious-emission measurements, frequency-shift repeaters, measurement references and EDGE and GSM400 test cases.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003?
The standard relies on several referenced documents for environmental classes, measurement methods and GSM radio characteristics:
- ETR 350 (GSM 01.04) - GSM abbreviations and acronyms.
- ETS 300 019-1-0 / -1-3 / -1-4 - Environmental classification and stationary-use conditions.
- ETS 300 113 - Land mobile service technical characteristics and test conditions for radio equipment with an antenna connector.
- ETS 300 910 (GSM 05.05) - GSM radio transmission and reception, including the referenced annex requirements.
- IEC 68-2 - Environmental test procedures used for minimum and maximum temperature testing.
- IEC 721 - Environmental condition classification where ETS 300 019 classes do not apply.
- ETS 300 607-1 (GSM 11.10-1) and ETS 300 609-1 (GSM 11.21) - Methods used for phase error and EVM calculations.
- ETR 027 and ETR 028 - General measurement methods and measurement uncertainty.
What does the SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 document contain?
SIST EN 300 609-4 V8.0.2:2003 contains the band definitions, test conditions, measurement set-ups and conformance limits needed to evaluate GSM repeaters. It includes table-based band definitions for MS and BTS transmit bands, environmental condition limits, and measurement bandwidths for spurious emissions.
The main test clauses describe the procedures for:
- conducted and radiated spurious emissions
- intermodulation attenuation
- out-of-band gain
- frequency error
- modulation accuracy at GMSK modulation
- modulation accuracy at 8-PSK modulation
Annex A adds an informative method for measuring gain outside the operating band in part-band repeaters, which is useful for acceptance testing or regulatory work. Annex B records the document’s change history.
