SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 390 V1.1.1 for Fixed Radio Systems. It specifies antenna-port limits and test methods for spurious emissions and receiver immunity in Digital Fixed Radio Systems, mainly for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint equipment. In practice, it is used to check whether radio equipment can coexist in shared fixed-service bands with acceptable EMC behavior.

What does SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 specify?

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 specifies the external spurious-emission limits and receiver-immunity requirements for Digital Fixed Radio Systems in the Fixed Service over the frequency range 9 kHz to 300 GHz. It focuses on point-to-point and point-to-multipoint systems and on what must be checked at the equipment/antenna port.

The standard is organized into clauses 1 to 7 and two informative annexes.

AnnexWhat it covers
Annex AApplication of CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01, including frequency applicability, level limits, reference bandwidths, and detailed application for different system ranges
Annex BMeasurement background, including spectrum analyser capability and application examples

The scope also makes a practical boundary clear: systems with fundamental emission below 30 MHz are outside the document’s scope. It addresses spurious emissions and receiver immunity at the antenna port, not internal transmitter-to-receiver interference inside the equipment.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003?

Transmitter spurious emissions at the antenna port

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 defines external spurious emissions as emissions outside the nominal carrier by more than ±250% of the relevant channel separation. For point-to-point equipment and for point-to-multipoint equipment below 21.2 GHz, the document applies CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01.

For point-to-multipoint equipment above 21.2 GHz, the standard keeps the CEPT/ERC limits in the lower and higher ranges, but adds a tighter requirement in the mid-band region between 21.2 GHz and 43.5 GHz. For practical users, that means the transmitter mask can change with band and system type, so the test plan must follow the correct band-specific limit.

The limits are stated at the reference point shown in the RF block diagram, and the document says that noise-like emissions are not to exceed the limit in any elementary measuring bandwidth. In practice, that matters when a spectrum looks like broadband noise rather than discrete lines.

Receiver spurious emissions

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 treats receiver spurious emissions as emissions sent back toward the antenna port by a receiver. Unlike transmitter spurious emissions, the receiver case uses the same frequency range without the ±250% exclusion around the wanted channel.

The same CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 basis applies. Practically, this means the receiver is checked as a potential source of unwanted radiation just as much as the transmitter.

Spurious-emissions test method

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 says the measurement is made at the common Tx/Rx antenna port, using the conformance-testing methods in EN 301 126-1 and EN 301 126-2-1 to EN 301 126-2-5, depending on the equipment type. The transmitter is tested at its highest continuous-emission level, with Automatic Transmission Power Control (ATPC) disabled, and with the payload connected to a suitable test pattern or to the manufacturer’s declared pattern.

The standard also allows wider evaluation bandwidth (BWe) settings, provided the result is normalized to the required reference bandwidth (BWr) using the methods in ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 and CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01. This helps test labs use practical analyser settings while still reporting results against the correct limit.

Receiver immunity at the antenna port

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 uses a continuous-wave (CW) interferer to assess receiver immunity. The receiver must tolerate a CW interfering signal at the antenna port without an unacceptable degradation of bit-error performance at the nominal receiver operating threshold.

The immunity check applies across the frequency range defined in the standard, with a guard band around the wanted signal that depends on the system type. For point-to-point systems the guard band is based on the co-polar channel spacing, and for point-to-multipoint systems it is wider. In practice, this means the receiver is tested for susceptibility over the frequencies most likely to cause real-world interference, not just at one spot frequency.

The document also notes a waveguide-related adjustment to the lower measurement limit when the antenna feed arrangement is long enough relative to the cut-off frequency. That matters for high-frequency installations using waveguide sections.

When this standard is used instead of a product-specific limit

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 acts as a common set of limits when a product-specific ETSI deliverable does not cover external spurious emissions or receiver immunity, when it gives less demanding limits, or when its limits are still preliminary. In practice, this makes the standard a baseline for conformance planning across different digital fixed-radio products.

What terms does SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 define?

  • evaluation bandwidth (BWe) - the bandwidth used while measuring spurious emissions before the result is normalized to the reference bandwidth.
  • reference bandwidth (BWr) - the bandwidth in which the spurious-emission limit is defined.
  • out of band emissions - unwanted emissions close to the wanted carrier that fall within the out-of-band region rather than the spurious region.
  • spurious emissions - unwanted emissions far enough from the carrier to be treated as spurious rather than out of band.
  • unwanted emissions - the combined category that includes both out-of-band and spurious emissions.
  • receiver spurious emissions - spurious energy a receiver sends back toward the antenna port, also called spurious radiations.
  • Automatic Transmission Power Control (ATPC) - a transmitter power-control function that the standard disables during spurious-emission testing so the test uses the highest continuous emission.
  • Bit Error Rate (BER) - the receiver performance measure used in the immunity requirement.
  • Point-to-Point (P-P) - a fixed-radio link between two ends.
  • Point-to-MultiPoint (P-MP) - a fixed-radio system with a central station and multiple remote stations.

Who uses SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003?

SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 is used by manufacturers of digital fixed-radio equipment, EMC and conformance test laboratories, system integrators, and operators who need to compare radio products against a common emission and immunity baseline. Quality managers and buyers use it when they need to check whether a product claim or test report covers antenna-port spurious emissions and receiver immunity for the intended fixed-service band. It is especially relevant when selecting equipment for point-to-point or point-to-multipoint deployment in shared frequency bands.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003?

  • ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 - provides the general definition of spurious emissions used by the document.
  • ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 - defines bandwidths and unwanted emissions for digital radio-relay systems and gives the normalization logic used in testing.
  • CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 - supplies the spurious-emission limits and reference-bandwidth framework applied throughout the standard.
  • ETSI EN 301 126-1 and EN 301 126-2-1 to EN 301 126-2-5 - provide the conformance-test procedures for point-to-point and point-to-multipoint equipment.
  • ETSI EN 301 489-1 and ETSI EN 301 489-4 - provide the EMC framework and the fixed-radio-link specific EMC conditions that this standard complements.
  • ETSI TR 101 036-1 - gives measurement background for digital radio systems and spectrum-analyser limitations.
  • ITU-R Recommendation F.746-4 - defines channel arrangements and channel-separation concepts used in the emission limits.
  • Council Directive 89/336/EEC - provides the EMC directive context that the standard is intended to support.
  • ITU-R Radio Regulations Article 1 - supplies the regulatory definitions referenced in the document.

What does the SIST EN 301 390 V1.1.1:2003 document contain?

5 ETSI EN 301 390 V1.1.1 (2000-12)
1 Scope
The present document deals with spurious emissions at antenna port of Digital Fixed Radio Systems as defined by
Radio Regulation Article 1 [15], ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1], ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2] and
CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3].
Moreover it covers immunity characteristics at receiver's antenna port.
Scope of the present document is to define specific limits at antenna port of spurious emissions and receiver immunity
for suitable inter-working of Digital Fixed Radio Systems (i.e. Point-to-Point and Point-to-Multipoint systems) in the
same or in different frequency band whenever allocated to Fixed Service in the range 9 kHz to 300 GHz.
However systems with fundamental emission below 30 MHz are not considered relevant for Digital Fixed Radio
Systems and are outside the scope of the present document.
Spurious emissions levels and immunity performance at antenna port are also required to fulfil the
EEC directive 89/336 [14] on EMC.
The present document complements CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] which gives Spurious Emissions limits
with particular regards to "inter Services" operations, while WG TM4 assumed that in some case more protection is
required for compatibility among fixed radio systems deployed in the same geographical area.
Additional considerations and background for producing the present document are:
- Radio Regulations definition of spurious emissions (RR Article 1 N°139 [15]) is aged and give concept and
applicability which do not clearly fit to digital systems;
- ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1] includes emissions with digital modulation but allows options for the
definition of the frequency boundary between out of band and spurious emissions and two different Category of
level limits applicable to the Fixed Service;
- ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2] and CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [3] define the application of
Radio Regulations concepts of Out of band, Unwanted and Spurious emissions to fixed Digital Radio Systems,
clarify the applicability for the boundary between Out of band and Spurious emissions but maintain the same
possible limit options provided by ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1];
- STC-RES09 has produced many ETSs covering EMC of radio equipment for mobile applications, which include
emissions (or radiation) and immunity at antenna port; STC-RES09 also produced EN 301 489-1 [10] and
EN 301 489-4 [11] covering EMC for fixed Radio links, which exclude, by mutual agreement with WG-TM4,
spurious emissions and immunity at antenna port, which have to be defined by the product standards in order to
cover all the technical parameters for conformance to the EMC Directive 89/336;
- considering the large number of TM4 deliverables it is convenient to maintain a single EN covering these
parameters instead of replicating them on each single product standard, avoiding possible deviation from what
required by other CEPT and ITU-R normative;
- limits of spurious emissions shall be fixed in view of inter-working compatibility among various Fixed Radio
Systems in same or different band exploited in the same area;
- the measurement of the required limits should also be feasible in a suitable and cost effective Conformance test
(informative annex B gives also information in this field);
- it is advisable that Fixed Radio Systems receivers provide a minimum level of immunity at antenna port towards
possible interference at any frequency band of practical interest;
- a suitable and easy to perform criterion for Fixed Radio Systems receivers immunity at antenna port may be
considered the application of a CW interference.
ETSI
6 ETSI EN 301 390 V1.1.1 (2000-12)
The present document will cover the limits of spurious emissions for already published ETSI deliverables for Fixed
Radio Systems, for the time needed to produce suitable revision, in the following cases:
• the ETSI deliverable does not cover the external spurious emissions and/or receiver immunity items;
• the ETSI deliverable contains less demanding limits;
• the ETSI deliverable contains preliminary limits and/or undefined reference bandwidth.
Some ETSI deliverables for Fixed Radio Systems, sometimes, provide limits for both "external" and "internal" spurious
emissions and the latter are outside the scope of the present document. Moreover the limits for emissions given in the
present document do not prevent more stringent requirement given in those deliverables for intra-system purpose
(i.e. local Transmitter to Receiver interference usually referred as "internal").
In order to fix the suitable limits, in informative annex B, spurious emissions are analysed from the point of view of a
suitable test method for conformance testing.

4 Transmitter spurious emissions at antenna port
According to ITU-R Recommendation SM.329-7 [1] and the application to fixed service provided by
ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2], the external spurious emissions are defined as emissions at frequencies
which are ±250 % of the relevant channel separation outside the nominal carrier frequency.
According ITU-R Recommendation F.1191-1 [2], the Channel Separation (CS) is taken as XS/2 for alternated
frequency channel arrangements and XS for co-channel and interleaved frequency channel arrangements as defined by
ITU-R Recommendation F.746-4 [13].
The emission within ±250 % of the relevant channel separation includes only fundamental and out of band emissions
which are outside the scope of the present document.
4.1 Limits
Unless more severe requirement were reported into a specific product ETSI deliverable, the spurious emissions at
antenna port of Fixed Radio Systems of both transmitter and receiver shall be limited within the average power limits
reported below.
For "noise-like" emissions, the limits are intended not to be exceeded in any elementary measuring bandwidth.
The limit values are defined at reference point C' shown in the general RF block diagram of figure 1.
