4 Technical specifications
4.1 Environmental profile
The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the
equipment, which shall be stated by the supplier. The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of the
present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the required operational environmental
profile.
4.2 Modulation
The manufacturer shall state the modulation characteristics of the equipment to be tested. For the purpose of deciding
which level of power density applies to the equipment, the present document defines two categories of equipment:
• equipment conforming to the stated characteristics of FHSS modulation (see clause 4.2.1); and
• equipment not conforming to these characteristics.(see clause 4.2.2).
4.2.1 FHSS modulation
FHSS modulation shall:
either:
a) make use of at least 15 well defined, non-overlapping hopping channels separated by the channel bandwidth as
measured at 20 dB below peak power;
or if capable of adaptive frequency hopping:
b) at least be capable of operating over a minimum of 90 % of the band specified in table 1, from which at any
given time a minimum of 20 channels or hopping channels shall be used.
For both cases, the minimum channel separation shall be 1 MHz, while the dwell time per channel shall not exceed
0,4 s.
While the equipment is operating (transmitting and/or receiving) each channel of the hopping sequence shall be
occupied at least once during a period not exceeding four times the product of the dwell time per hop and the number of
channels. Systems that meet the above constraints shall be tested according to the requirements for FHSS modulation.
4.2.2 DSSS and other forms of modulation
For the purposes of the present document, other forms of modulation which do not satisfy the constraints of the
specification given in clause 4.2.1, shall be considered equivalent to DSSS modulation. Systems using these other forms
of modulation shall be considered equivalent to DSSS systems and shall be tested according to the requirements for
DSSS modulation.
4.3 Technical requirements
4.3.1 Maximum transmit power
4.3.1.1 Definition
The maximum transmit power is defined as the maximum isotropic radiated power of the equipment.
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 300 328 V1.7.1 (2006-10)
4.3.1.2 Limit
The equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) shall be equal to or less than -10 dBW (100 mW). This limit shall
apply for any combination of power level and intended antenna assembly.
4.3.2 Maximum e.i.r.p. spectral density
4.3.2.1 Definition
The maximum e.i.r.p. spectral density is defined as the highest e.i.r.p. level in Watts per Hertz generated by the
transmitter within the power envelope.
4.3.2.2 Limit
For wide band modulations other then FHSS (e.g. DSSS, OFDM, etc.), the maximum e.i.r.p. spectral density is limited
to 10 mW per MHz.
4.3.3 Frequency range
4.3.3.1 Definition
The frequency range of the equipment is determined by the lowest and highest frequencies occupied by the spectrum
envelope.
f is the highest frequency of the spectrum envelope: it is the frequency furthest above the frequency of maximum
H
power where the e.i.r.p. spectral density drops below the level of -80 dBm/Hz (-30 dBm if measured in a 100 kHz
bandwidth).
f is the lowest frequency of the spectrum envelope; it is the frequency furthest below the frequency of maximum
L
power where the e.i.r.p. spectral density drops below the level of -80 dBm/Hz (or -30 dBm if measured in a 100 kHz
bandwidth).
For a given operating frequency, the width of the spectrum envelope is (f - f ). In equipment that allows adjustment or
H L
selection of different operating frequencies, the power envelope takes up different positions in the allocated band. The
frequency range is determined by the lowest value of f and the highest value of f resulting from the adjustment of the
L H
equipment to the lowest and highest operating frequencies.
4.3.3.2 Limit
For all equipment the frequency range shall lie within the band 2,4 GHz to 2,4835 GHz (f > 2,4 GHz and
L
f < 2,4835 GHz).
H
4.3.4 Frequency hopping requirements

channels.
Adaptive Frequency Hopping systems shall make use of a hopping sequence(s) that is capable of operating over a
minimum of 90 % of the band specified in table 1, from which at any given time a minimum of 20 hopping channels
shall be used.
Each hopping channel of the hopping sequence shall be occupied at least once during a period not exceeding four times
the product of the dwell time per hop and the number of channels.

4.3.7 Receiver spurious emissions
4.3.7.1 Definition
Receiver spurious emissions are emissions at any frequency when the equipment is in received mode.
4.3.7.2 Limit
The spurious emissions of the receiver shall not exceed the values in tables 4 and 5 in the indicated bands.
Table 4: Narrowband spurious emission limits for receivers
Frequency range Limit
30 MHz to 1 GHz -57 dBm
above 1 GHz to 12,75 GHz -47 dBm

The above limit values apply to narrowband emissions, e.g. as caused by local oscillator leakage. The measurement
bandwidth for such emissions may be as small as necessary to get a reliable measurement result.
Wideband emissions shall not exceed the values given in table 5.

5 Essential radio test suites
5.1 Product information
The following information is necessary in order to carry out the test suites:
a) the type of modulation used: FHSS modulation, DSSS modulation or any other type of modulation
(see clause 4.2);
b) where FHSS modulation is used: the number of hopping channels, the dwell time per channel and the
maximum time between two instances of use of the same channel (see clause 4.2.1), and whether or not
Adaptive Frequency Hopping (AFH) is used;
c) the operating frequency range(s) of the equipment and, where applicable, band(s) of operation
(see clause 4.3.3);
d) the type of the equipment, for example: stand-alone equipment, plug-in radio device, combined equipment,
etc. (see also clause 3.1);
e) the extreme operating conditions that apply to the equipment (see also clause 5.3.4);
f) the intended combination(s) of the radio equipment power settings and one or more antenna assemblies and
their corresponding e.i.r.p levels (see also clause 5.4.2);
g) in case of smart antenna systems, the number of transmit chains and the number of receive chains and whether
the system uses a symmetrical or asymmetrical power distribution across the transmit chains;
h) the nominal voltages of the stand-alone radio equipment or the nominal voltages of the host equipment or
combined equipment in case of plug-in devices;
i) the test modulation used (see also clause 5.2);
j) the access protocol implemented by the equipment.
5.2 Requirements for the test modulation
The test modulation used should be representative of normal use of the equipment. Where the equipment is not capable
of continuous RF transmission, the test modulation shall be such that:
• the generated RF signal is the same for each transmission;
• transmissions occur regularly in time;
• sequences of transmissions can be repeated accurately.
The same test modulation shall be used for all measurements on the same equipment.
For frequency hopping systems the equipment should allow the hop frequencies required by the present document to be
selected.
5.3 Test conditions, power supply and ambient temperatures
5.3.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Unless otherwise stated in the test procedures for essential radio test suites (see clause 5.7), the tests defined in the
present document shall be carried out at representative points within the boundary limits of the declared operational
environmental profile (see clause 5.3.4).
ETSI
15 ETSI EN 300 328 V1.7.1 (2006-10)
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.
5.3.2 Power sources
5.3.2.1 Power sources for stand-alone equipment
During testing, the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by a test power source capable of producing normal
and extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.3.2 and 5.3.4.2. The internal impedance of the test power source
shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible. For the purpose of tests, the voltage of the power
source shall be measured at the input terminals of the equipment.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and the test power source shall be applied as close to the
battery terminals as practicable.
During tests the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance is critical to po
