4.3 RF exclusion band of radio equipment
4.3.0 General
The emission measurement and immunity test exclusions are referred to as "exclusion bands" and are defined in the
clauses 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
The frequencies on which the EUT is intended to operate, shall be excluded from conducted and radiated RF immunity
tests.
The frequencies on which the transmitter part of the EUT is intended to operate shall be excluded from emission
measurements when performed in transmit mode of operation.
During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of ULP-AMIs and/or
associated ULP-AMI-Ps.
4.3.1 Exclusion bands for receivers
The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers) is determined as follows:
• for receivers capable of operating on 9 or more channels within the frequency band specified in table 1 and not
having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the used
frequency channel minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is
the upper frequency of the used frequency channel plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated
extension value shall be based on the operating frequency;
• for receivers capable of operating on more than one frequency and having an alignment range, the lower
frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the alignment range minus the extension value given
in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range plus
the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension values shall be based on the centre frequency of
the alignment range;
• for wide band receivers, i.e. receivers operating in a non-channelized arrangement, the lower frequency of the
exclusion band is the lower frequency of the intended operating band minus the extension value given in
table 1 and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the intended operating band
plus the extension value given in table 1, or the total exclusion band is twice the intended operating frequency
band of the receiver centred around the centre frequency of the intended operating band, whichever is the
greater.

During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of ULP-AMIs and/or associated ULP-AMI-Ps. 4.3.1 Exclusion bands for receivers The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers) is determined as follows: • for receivers capable of operating on 9 or more channels within the frequency band specified in table 1 and not having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the used frequency channel minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the used frequency channel plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension value shall be based on the operating frequency; • for receivers capable of operating on more than one frequency and having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the alignment range minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension values shall be based on the centre frequency of the alignment range; • for wide band receivers, i.e. receivers operating in a non-channelized arrangement, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the intended operating band minus the extension value given in
table 1 and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the intended operating band plus the extension value given in table 1, or the total exclusion band is twice the intended operating frequency band of the receiver centred around t

4.3 RF exclusion band of radio equipment
4.3.0 General
The emission measurement and immunity test exclusions are referred to as "exclusion bands" and are defined in the
clauses 4.3.1 and 4.3.2.
The frequencies on which the EUT is intended to operate, shall be excluded from conducted and radiated RF immunity
tests.
The frequencies on which the transmitter part of the EUT is intended to operate shall be excluded from emission
measurements when performed in transmit mode of operation.
During emission measurements, a frequency exclusion band does not apply for the receiver part of ULP-AMIs and/or
associated ULP-AMI-Ps.
4.3.1 Exclusion bands for receivers
The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers that are part of transceivers) is determined as follows:
• for receivers capable of operating on 9 or more channels within the frequency band specified in table 1 and not
having an alignment range, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the used
frequency channel minus the extension value given in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is
the upper frequency of the used frequency channel plus the extension value given in table 1. The calculated
extension value shall be based on the operating frequency;
• for receivers capable of operating on more than one frequency and having an alignment range, the lower
frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the alignment range minus the extension value given
in table 1, and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range plus
the extension value given in table 1. The calculated extension values shall be based on the centre frequency of
the alignment range;
• for wide band receivers, i.e. receivers operating in a non-channelized arrangement, the lower frequency of the
exclusion band is the lower frequency of the intended operating band minus the extension value given in
table 1 and the upper frequency of the exclusion band is the upper frequency of the intended operating band
plus the extension value given in table 1, or the total exclusion band is twice the intended operating frequency
band of the receiver centred around the centre frequency of the intended operating band, whichever is the
greater.
