4.1 Introduction
This TBR is based on the CTR Scope statement [5] from NTRAC on CTR No. 7.
This TBR specifies the receiver conformance requirements and the considered relevance of the Articles
from the directive 91/263/EEC [6] with regard to ERMES receivers. The CTR Scope statement suggests
that this TBR should only consider Articles 4e, 4f, and 4g. Article 4a is dealt with under the Low Voltage
Directive (73/23/EEC), while Articles 4b and 4d are considered not relevant for this TBR. In the TBR
Requirements Table (TBR-RT) given in clause 6, the tests to be carried out on ERMES receivers are
tabulated.

4.4 Mechanical and electrical design
Any control or adjustment which, if maladjusted, could affect the conformance of the product to this TBR
shall not be readily accessible to the user.
4.5 Categories and classes of receivers
4.5.1 Categories of receivers
There are four categories of receivers, according to the different paging services they are designed to
provide. Table 1 describes each of the four categories.
Table 1: Categories of receivers
Category Description
1 A receiver providing this function shall respond to at least one combination of the alert
signal indicator bits. Responses to the remaining seven alert indicator bits shall (if
implemented) be clearly distinguishable.
2 A receiver including this function shall provide for the reception of a 20 digit numeric
message. The numeric character set is included in annex C. Receivers having this
function shall also have the tone-only function.
3 A receiver including this function shall provide for the reception of a 400 character text
message. The alphanumeric character set is included in annex C. Receivers having this
function shall also have the numeric and the tone-only functions.
4 A receiver including this function shall provide for the reception of an arbitrary data
message.
4.5.2 Classes of receivers
Paging receivers are divided into classes according to their intended use as shown in table 2.

TBR 7: December 1997
4.6 Requirements and justifications
4.6.1 Average usable sensitivity (normal)
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 a).
The receiver is required to meet the above specification in order to provide a sufficient call success rate
under static field conditions when the transmitted field strength is at the defined level. This level has been
chosen as a suitable limit level when economic, technical and regulatory considerations are taken into
account. Therefore receivers shall meet the specification as defined in subclause 7.1 a) and measured as
defined in subclause 7.2 a).
Reference:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 a).
4.6.2 Degradation in required sensitivity under channel switching
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 b).
One of the essential features of the ERMES system is that the paging messages are distributed in a
multiple frequency environment. It is therefore required that the receivers maintain their sensitivity to
paging messages while they are scanning through the frequencies used in the system as defined in
subclause 7.1 b) and measured as defined in subclause 7.2 l).
Reference:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 c).
4.6.3 Degradation in required sensitivity in extremes and offset
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 c).
The operating temperature range for the receiver is -10°C to +55°C. This range should cover the range of
temperatures normally experienced in Europe by a body worn product. The receiver under test is primarily
intended to be portable and therefore its power is derived from a battery. During the life of this battery, its
terminal voltage may change, and to ensure that the performance of the receiver is not impaired
unreasonably, this test includes measuring the sensitivity of the receiver at the extreme test voltage as
specified by the manufacturer. In the transmitter system that may be used for an ERMES network, the
transmitted frequencies can be up to 200 Hz offset from the nominal frequencies (see ETS 300 133-6 [7],
subclause 5.3). The receiver shall continue to receive paging messages at the extremes of the
temperature and voltage range (as specified in subclause 5.4) and with a transmitter frequency offset of
200 Hz as defined in subclause 7.1 c) and measured as defined in subclause 7.2 c).
References:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 e).
ETS 300 133-6 [7], subclause 5.3.
4.6.4 Co-channel rejection (normal)
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 d).
In the transmitter system that may be used for an ERMES network, the receiver can receive signal from
two transmitters on the same frequency, but with different data being transmitted. In order that paging
messages can still be received under these conditions, the receiver shall meet the specification as defined
in subclause 7.1 d) and measured as defined in subclause 7.2 e).

4.6.5 Adjacent channel selectivity (normal)
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 e).
In the transmitter system that may be used for an ERMES network, a receiver can suffer from radio
interference from a signal being transmitted on a channel adjacent to the required channel. In order that
paging messages can still be received under these conditions, the receiver shall meet the specification as
defined in subclause 7.1 e) and measured as defined in subclause 7.2 f).
Reference:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 g).
4.6.6 Adjacent channel selectivity (extreme)
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 f).
In the transmitter system that may be used for an ERMES network, a receiver can suffer from radio
interference from a signal being transmitted on a channel adjacent to the required channel. The extreme
temperature conditions as described in subclause 4.6.3 can also be experienced at the same time. In
order that paging messages can still be received under these conditions, the receiver shall meet the
specification as defined in subclause 7.1 f) and measured as defined in subclause 7.2 f).
Reference:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 h).
4.6.7 Spurious response immunity
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 g).
In the normal radio environment radio signals can be presented to the receiver to which the receiver is not
intended to respond. However, the receiver may respond to some of these signals. This test is concerned
with the situation when these unwanted interfering signals are at particular frequencies at which the
receiver may respond. These frequencies are calculated by considering the design of the receiver. In
order that paging messages can still be received when these unwanted signals are present and below the
specified limit value, the receiver shall meet the specification as defined in subclause 7.1 g) and measured
as defined in subclause 7.2 g).
Reference:
ETS 300 133-5 [3], subclause 5.1 j).
4.6.8 Intermodulation immunity
The receiver under test shall meet the specifications as defined in subclause 7.1 h).
In the normal radio environment radio signals can be presented to the receiver to which the receiver is not
intended to respond. However, the receiver may respond to some of these unwanted interfering signals.
This test is concerned with the situation when there are two unwanted interfering signals which are
equidistant from the wanted signal and
