4.1 Presentation of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment submitted for testing, where applicable, shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all
frequencies over which it is intended to operate. EMC type approval testing to Directive 95/54/EC [i.3] shall be done on
the vehicle.
The provider shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to allow testing to be performed, shall be
supplied.
The performance of the equipment submitted for testing shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, the present document contains instructions for the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes, conditions of testing (clause 5) and the measurement methods
(clause 7). Instructions for installation of the equipment in a road vehicle are provided in annex B.
Stand alone equipment submitted for testing shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment
needed for testing. The provider shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power
requirements, as applicable, in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.
The EUT will comprise the sensor, antenna and radome if needed and is tested as a stand alone assembly. The EUTs
test fixtures may be supplied by the provider to facilitate the tests (clause 6.2).
These clauses are intended to give confidence that the requirements set out in the present document have been met
without the necessity of performing measurements on all frequencies.
ETSI
11 Draft ETSI EN 302 858-1 V1.3.1 (2013-07)
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as
proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory.
If an equipment is designed to operate with different powers, measurements of each transmitter parameter shall be
performed at the highest power level at which the transmitter is intended to operate.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good
engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
4.3 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be carried out under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4.
All measurements shall be preceded by calibrated measurements according to annex A.
5.2 External test power source
During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and
extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. The internal impedance of the external test power source
shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible.
The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:

4 Equipment under test
4.1 Presentation of equipment for testing purposes
Each equipment submitted for testing, where applicable, shall fulfil the requirements of the present document on all
frequencies over which it is intended to operate. EMC type approval testing to Directive 95/54/EC [i.3] shall be done on
the vehicle.
The provider shall provide one or more samples of the equipment, as appropriate for testing.
Additionally, technical documentation and operating manuals, sufficient to allow testing to be performed, shall be
supplied.
The performance of the equipment submitted for testing shall be representative of the performance of the corresponding
production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, the present document contains instructions for the
presentation of equipment for testing purposes, conditions of testing (clause 5) and the measurement methods
(clause 7). Instructions for installation of the equipment in a road vehicle are provided in annex B.
Stand alone equipment submitted for testing shall be offered by the provider complete with any ancillary equipment
needed for testing. The provider shall declare the frequency range(s), the range of operation conditions and power
requirements, as applicable, in order to establish the appropriate test conditions.
The EUT will comprise the sensor, antenna and radome if needed and is tested as a stand alone assembly. The EUTs
test fixtures may be supplied by the provider to facilitate the tests (clause 6.2).
These clauses are intended to give confidence that the requirements set out in the present document have been met
without the necessity of performing measurements on all frequencies.
ETSI
11 ETSI EN 302 858-1 V1.3.1 (2013-11)
4.1.1 Choice of model for testing
If an equipment has several optional features, considered not to affect the RF parameters then the tests need only to be
performed on the equipment configured with that combination of features considered to be the most complex, as
proposed by the provider and agreed by the test laboratory.
If an equipment is designed to operate with different powers, measurements of each transmitter parameter shall be
performed at the highest power level at which the transmitter is intended to operate.
4.2 Mechanical and electrical design
The equipment submitted by the provider shall be designed, constructed and manufactured in accordance with good
engineering practice and with the aim of minimizing harmful interference to other equipment and services.
4.3 Auxiliary test equipment
All necessary test signal sources and set-up information shall accompany the equipment when it is submitted for testing.
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be carried out under normal test conditions, and also, where stated, under extreme test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 to 5.4.
All measurements shall be preceded by calibrated measurements according to annex A.
5.2 External test power source
During tests the power source of the equipment shall be an external test power source, capable of producing normal and
extreme test voltages as specified in clauses 5.3.2 and 5.4.2. The internal impedance of the external test power source
shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be negligible.
The test voltage shall be measured at the point of connection of the power cable to the equipment.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The level of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a reduced uncertainty level for these measurements.
5.3 Normal test conditions
5.3.1 Normal temperature and humidity
The normal temperature and humidity conditions for tests shall be any convenient combination of temperature and
humidity within the following ranges:
• temperature: +15 °C to +35 °C;
• relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
When it is impracticable to carry out tests under these conditions, a note to this effect, stating the ambient temperature
and relative humidity during the tests, shall be added to the test report.

In general, measurements shall be carried out under far field conditions. The far field condition for the EUTs is considered to be fulfilled in a minimum radial distance "X" that shall be a minimum of 2d2/λ, where d is the largest dimension of the antenna aperture of the EUT, for a single device measurement. Absolute power measurements shall be made using an appropriate method to ensure that the wave front is properly formed (i.e. operating in far field conditions).
6.2 Test fixture The test fixture may be used to facilitate measurements for equipment having an integral antenna, if required even under extreme conditions. Tests on radiated signals may be carried out using the test fixture. For tests of unwanted emissions in the spurious domain, the test fixture bandwidth shall be used up to 50 GHz. If this is not the case, a radiated measurement according to annex A shall be used. 6.2.1 Characteristics The fixture is a radio frequency device for coupling the integral antenna of the NB SRR to a 50 Ω RF terminal at all frequencies for which measurements need to be performed. The test fixture shall be fully described. In addition, the test fixture shall provide: a) a connection to an external power supply; b) a method to provide the input to or output from the equipment. This may include coupling to or from the antenna. The test fixture could also provide the suitable coupling means e.g. for data or video outputs.
The test fixture is normally be supplied by the provider. The performance characteristics of the test fixture shall be approved by the testing laboratory and shall conform to the following basic parameters: a) the coupling loss shall not be greater than 30 dB; b) adequate bandwidth properties; c) a coupling loss variation over the frequency range used for the measurement shall not exceed 2 dB; d) circuitry associated with the RF coupling shall contain no active or non-linear devices; e) the VSWR at the 50 Ω socket shall not be more than 1,5 over the frequency range of the measurements; f) the coupling loss shall be indepen
