12 Draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-01)
5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 and 5.3.
5.2 Power sources
5.2.1 Power sources for stand-alone equipment
For non-battery-operated equipment, during testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by an external
test power source capable of producing normal test voltages as specified in clause 5.3.2. 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. During tests the power source
voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test.
For battery-operated equipment, fully-charged internal batteries shall be used. The batteries used shall be as supplied or
recommended by the provider. If internal batteries are used, at the end of each test the voltage shall be within a
tolerance of ±5 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. If the battery is not accessible (for example, it is
internal to a sealed unit), then it is acceptable to determine the battery voltage at the start and end of the test by indirect
means (e.g. battery health messages sent from the unit itself).
Alternatively, for battery-operated equipment, the external test power source may replace the supplied or recommended
internal batteries at the required voltage – this shall be recorded and stated. In this case, the battery remains present,
electrically isolated from the rest of the equipment, possibly by putting tape over its contacts.
5.2.2 Power sources for plug-in radio devices
The power source for testing plug-in radio devices shall be provided by a test fixture or host equipment.
Where the host equipment and/or the plug-in radio device is battery powered, the battery may be removed and the test
power source applied as close to the battery terminals as practicable.
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 recorded and stated.
ETSI
13 Draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-01)
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source the
normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment provider. Such values shall be recorded and stated.
6 General conditions
6.1 Modes of operation of the transmitter
For the purpose of the measurements according to the present document, the transmitter shall be operated at the highest
data rate which would be available in an operating mode. For packet based systems, this would include both the highest
pulse repetition rate as well as the highest packet rate.
Where the transmitter is designed with an adjustable output power, then all transmitter parameters shall be measured
using the highest power level, as declared by the provider.
If the transmitter is equipped with an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, it shall be made inoperative for the duration
of the test.
The manufacturer shall declare that the operating mode used during testing meets the above requirements.
NOTE: Care should be taken when performing measurements on non-continuous transmitters, particularly those
with low duty cycle, to ensure that the measurement equipment has captured the highest emissions from
the device as it is rotated.
6.2 Normal test signals
The test data that is used to modulate the transmitted signal for measurement of UWB emissions shall be similar to the
data transmitted in the actual operation of the equipment. The test data shall be chosen so as to produce the highest
mean transmit power spectral density which would be available in operation.
The manufacturer shall declare that the transmitted signal used during testing meets the above requirements.
The provider shall state as part of the test report the UWB modulation characteristics of the equipment under test, to the
full extent necessary.
6.3 Test sites and general arrangements for radiated
measurements
The test site used for radiated transmitter measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.1 or A.1.2 (i.e. only the
"anechoic chamber" or "anechoic chamber with ground plane" test sites).
ETSI
14 Draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-01)
The test site used for radiated receiver measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.1, A.1.2 or A.1.3.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.4.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.5.
For guidance on use of radiation test sites, coupling of signals and standard test positions used for radiated
measurements, see clauses A.2 to A.4.
Detailed descriptions of radiated measurement arrangements for UWB devices can be found in ITU-R Recommendation
SM.1754 [i.1].
All reasonable efforts should be made to clearly demonstrate that emissions from the UWB transmitter do not exceed
the specified levels, with the transmitter in the far field. To the extent practicable, the device under test should be
measured at the distance specified in clause A.2.4 and with the specified measurement bandwidths (see clause 8).
However, in order to obtain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system, radiated measurements may
have to be made at distances less than those specified in clause A.2.4 and/or with reduced measurement bandwidths.
The revised measurement configuration shall be stated on the test report, together with an explanation of why the signal
levels involved necessitated measurement at the distance employed or with the measurement bandwidth used in order to
be accurately detected by the measurement equipment and calculations demonstrating compliance.
Where it is not practical to further reduce the measurement bandwidth (either because of limitations of
commonly-available test equipment or difficulties in converting readings taken using one measurement bandwidth to
those used by the limits in tables 2 to 4, and the required measurement distance would be so short that the device would
not clearly be within the far field, the test report shall state this fact, the measurement distance and bandwidth used, the
near field/far field distance for the measurement setup (see clause A.2.4), the measured device emissions, the achievable
measurement noise floor and the frequency range(s) involved.
6.4 Testing of host connected equipment and plug-in radio
devices
For combined equipment and for radio parts for which connection to or integration with host equipment is required to
offer functionality to the radio, different alternative test approaches are permitted. Where more than one such
combination is intended, testing shall not be repeated for combinations of the radio part and various host equipment
where the latter are substantially similar.
Where more than one such combination is intended and the combinations are substantially dissimilar, one combination
shall be tested against all requirements of the present document and all other combinations shall be tested separately for
radiated spurious emissions only.
6.4.1 The use of a host or test fixture for testing plug-in radio devices
Where the radio part is a plug-in radio device which is intended to be used within a variety of combinations, a suitable
test configuration consisting of either a test fixture or a typical host equipment shall be used. This shall be
representative for the range of combinations in which the device may be used. The test fixture shall allow the radio
equipment part to be powered and stimulated as if connected to or inserted into the host or combined equipment.
Measurements shall be made to all requirements of the present document.
NOTE: For further information on this topic, see TR 102 070-2 [i.2].
6.4.2 Testing of combinations
6.4.2.1 Alternative A: General approach for combinations

5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 and 5.3.
5.2 Power sources
5.2.1 Power sources for stand-alone equipment
For non-battery-operated equipment, during testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by an external
test power source capable of producing normal test voltages as specified in clause 5.3.2. 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. During tests the power source
voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test.
For battery-operated equipment, fully-charged internal batteries shall be used. The batteries used shall be as supplied or
recommended by the provider. If internal batteries are used, at the end of each test the voltage shall be within a
tolerance of ±5 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. If the battery is not accessible (for example, it is
internal to a sealed unit), then it is acceptable to determine the battery voltage at the start and end of the test by indirect
means (e.g. battery health messages sent from the unit itself).
Alternatively, for battery-operated equipment, the external test power source may replace the supplied or recommended
internal batteries at the required voltage - this shall be recorded and stated. In this case, the battery remains present,
electrically isolated from the rest of the equipment, possibly by putting tape over its contacts.
ETSI
12 Final draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-08)
5.2.2 Power sources for plug-in radio devices
The power source for testing plug-in radio devices shall be provided by a test fixture or host equipment.
Where the host equipment and/or the plug-in radio device is battery powered, the battery may be removed and the test
power source applied as close to the battery terminals as practicable.
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 recorded and stated.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source the
normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment provider. Such values shall be recorded and stated.
6 General conditions
6.1 Modes of operation of the transmitter
For the purpose of the measurements according to the present document, the transmitter shall be operated at the highest
data rate which would be available in an operating mode. For packet based systems, this would include both the highest
pulse repetition rate as well as the highest packet rate.
Where the transmitter is designed with an adjustable output power, then all transmitter parameters shall be measured
using the highest power level, as declared by the provider.
If the transmitter is equipped with an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, it shall be made inoperative for the duration
of the test.
The manufacturer shall declare that the operating mode used during testing meets the above requirements.
ETSI
13 Final draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-08)
NOTE: Care should be taken when performing measurements on non-continuous transmitters, particularly those
with low duty cycle, to ensure that the measurement equipment has captured the highest emissions from
the device as it is rotated.
6.2 Normal test signals
The test data that is used to modulate the transmitted signal for measurement of UWB emissions shall be similar to the
data transmitted in the actual operation of the equipment. The test data shall be chosen so as to produce the highest
mean transmit power spectral density which would be available in operation.
The manufacturer shall declare that the transmitted signal used during testing meets the above requirements.
The provider shall state as part of the test report the UWB modulation characteristics of the equipment under test, to the
full extent necessary.
6.3 Test sites and general arrangements for radiated
measurements
The test site used for radiated transmitter measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1 or A.1.2 (i.e. only the
"anechoic chamber" or "anechoic chamber with ground plane" test sites).
The test site used for radiated receiver measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1, A.1.2 or A.1.3.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.4.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.5.
For guidance on use of radiation test sites, coupling of signals and standard test positions used for radiated
measurements, see clauses A.2 to A.4.
Detailed descriptions of radiated measurement arrangements for UWB devices can be found in ITU-R Recommendation
SM.1754 [i.1].
All reasonable efforts should be made to clearly demonstrate that emissions from the UWB transmitter do not exceed
the specified levels, with the transmitter in the far field. To the extent practicable, the device under test should be
measured at the distance specified in clause A.2.4 and with the specified measurement bandwidths (see clause 8).
However, in order to obtain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system, radiated measurements may
have to be made at distances less than those specified in clause A.2.4 and/or with reduced measurement bandwidths.
The revised measurement configuration shall be stated on the test report, together with an explanation of why the signal
levels involved necessitated measurement at the distance employed or with the measurement bandwidth used in order to
be accurately detected by the measurement equipment and calculations demonstrating compliance.
Where it is not practical to further reduce the measurement bandwidth (either because of limitations of
commonly-available test equipment or difficulties in converting readings taken using one measurement bandwidth to
those used by the limits in tables 2 to 4, and the required measurement distance would be so short that the device would
not clearly be within the far field, the test report shall state this fact, the measurement distance and bandwidth used, the
near field/far field distance for the measurement setup (see clause A.2.4), the measured device emissions, the achievable
measurement noise floor and the frequency range(s) involved.
6.4 Testing of host connected equipment and plug-in radio
devices
For combined equipment and for radio parts for which connection to or integration with host equipment is required to
offer functionality to the radio, different alternative test approaches are permitted. Where more than one such
combination is intended, testing shall not be repeated for combinations of the radio part and various host equipment
where the latter are substantially similar.
Where more than one such combination is intended and the combinations are substantially dissimilar, one combination
shall be tested against all requirements of the present document and all other combinations shall be tested separately for
radiated spurious emissions only.

14 Final draft ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-08)
6.4.1 The use of a host or test fixture for testing plug-in radio devices
Where the radio part is a plug-in radio device which is intended to be used within a variety of combinations, a suitable
test configuration consisting of either a test fixture or a typical host equipment shall be used. This shall be
representative for the range of combinations in which the device may be used. The test fixture shall allow the radio
equipment part to be powered and stimulated as if connected to or inserted into the host or combined equipment.
Measurements shall be made to all requirements of the present document.
NOTE: For further information on this topic, see TR 102 070-2 [i.2].

5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient
temperatures
5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions
Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions.
The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 and 5.3.
5.2 Power sources
5.2.1 Power sources for stand-alone equipment
For non-battery-operated equipment, during testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by an external
test power source capable of producing normal test voltages as specified in clause 5.3.2. 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. During tests the power source
voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test.
For battery-operated equipment, fully-charged internal batteries shall be used. The batteries used shall be as supplied or
recommended by the provider. If internal batteries are used, at the end of each test the voltage shall be within a
tolerance of ±5 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. If the battery is not accessible (for example, it is
internal to a sealed unit), then it is acceptable to determine the battery voltage at the start and end of the test by indirect
means (e.g. battery health messages sent from the unit itself).
Alternatively, for battery-operated equipment, the external test power source may replace the supplied or recommended
internal batteries at the required voltage - this shall be recorded and stated. In this case, the battery remains present,
electrically isolated from the rest of the equipment, possibly by putting tape over its contacts.
ETSI
12 ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-10)
5.2.2 Power sources for plug-in radio devices
The power source for testing plug-in radio devices shall be provided by a test fixture or host equipment.
Where the host equipment and/or the plug-in radio device is battery powered, the battery may be removed and the test
power source applied as close to the battery terminals as practicable.
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 recorded and stated.
5.3.2 Normal test power source
5.3.2.1 Mains voltage
The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose
of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the
equipment was designed.
The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz.
5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources
When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source the
normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (6 V, 12 V, etc.).
5.3.2.3 Other power sources
For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that
declared by the equipment provider. Such values shall be recorded and stated.
6 General conditions
6.1 Modes of operation of the transmitter
For the purpose of the measurements according to the present document, the transmitter shall be operated at the highest
data rate which would be available in an operating mode. For packet based systems, this would include both the highest
pulse repetition rate as well as the highest packet rate.
Where the transmitter is designed with an adjustable output power, then all transmitter parameters shall be measured
using the highest power level, as declared by the provider.
If the transmitter is equipped with an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, it shall be made inoperative for the duration
of the test.
The manufacturer shall declare that the operating mode used during testing meets the above requirements.
ETSI
13 ETSI EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1 (2010-10)
NOTE: Care should be taken when performing measurements on non-continuous transmitters, particularly those
with low duty cycle, to ensure that the measurement equipment has captured the highest emissions from
the device as it is rotated.
6.2 Normal test signals
The test data that is used to modulate the transmitted signal for measurement of UWB emissions shall be similar to the
data transmitted in the actual operation of the equipment. The test data shall be chosen so as to produce the highest
mean transmit power spectral density which would be available in operation.
The manufacturer shall declare that the transmitted signal used during testing meets the above requirements.
The provider shall state as part of the test report the UWB modulation characteristics of the equipment under test, to the
full extent necessary.
6.3 Test sites and general arrangements for radiated
measurements
The test site used for radiated transmitter measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1 or A.1.2 (i.e. only the
"anechoic chamber" or "anechoic chamber with ground plane" test sites).
The test site used for radiated receiver measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1, A.1.2 or A.1.3.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.4.
The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.5.
For guidance on use of radiation test sites, coupling of signals and standard test positions used for radiated
measurements, see clauses A.2 to A.4.
Detailed descriptions of radiated measurement arrangements for UWB devices can be found in ITU-R Recommendation
SM.1754 [i.1].
All reasonable efforts should be made to clearly demonstrate that emissions from the UWB transmitter do not exceed
the specified levels, with the transmitter in the far field. To the extent practicable, the device under test should be
measured at the distance specified in clause A.2.4 and with the specified measurement bandwidths (see clause 8).
However, in order to obtain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system, radiated measurements may
have to be made at distances less than those specified in clause A.2.4 and/or with reduced measurement bandwidths.
The revised measurement configuration shall be stated on the test report, together with an explanation of why the signal
levels involved necessitated measurement at the distance employed or with the measurement bandwidth used in order to
be accurately detected by the measurement equipment and calculations demonstrating compliance.
Where it is not practical to further reduce the measurement bandwidth (either because of limitations of
commonly-available test equipment or difficulties in converting readings taken using one measurement bandwidth to
those used by the limits in tables 2 to 4, and the required measurement distance would be so short that the device would
not clearly be within the far field, the test report shall state this fact, the measurement distance and bandwidth used, the
near field/far field distance for the measurement setup (see clause A.2.4), the measured device emissions, the achievable
measurement noise floor and the frequency range(s) involved.
6.4 Testing of host connected equipment and plug-in radio
devices
For combined equipment and for radio parts for which connection to or integration with host equipment is required to
offer functionality to the radio, different alternative test approaches are permitted. Where more than one such
combination is intended, testing shall not be repeated for combinations of the radio part and various host equipment
where the latter are substantially similar.
Where more than one such combination is intended and the combinations are substantially dissimilar, one combination
shall be tested against all requirements of the present document and all other combinations shall be tested separately for
radiated spurious emissions only.

6.4.1 The use of a host or test fixture for testing plug-in radio devices
Where the radio part is a plug-in radio device which is intended to be used within a variety of combinations, a suitable
test configuration consisting of either a test fixture or a typical host equipment shall be used. This shall be
representative for the range of combinations in which the device may be used. The test fixture shall allow the radio
equipment part to be powered and stimulated as if connected to or inserted into the host or combined equipment.
Measurements shall be made to all requirements of the present document.
NOTE: For further information on this topic, see TR 102 070-2 [i.2].

equipment. The plug-in radio device shall meet the radiated spurious emissions requirements as described in clause 9.1.
6.4.2.3 Alternative C: For combined equipment with a plug-in radio device
Combined equipment may be used for testing according to the full requirements of the present document.

NOTE: For further information on this topic see TR 102 070-2 [i.2]. 5 Test conditions, power sources and ambient temperatures 5.1 Normal and extreme test conditions Testing shall be performed under normal test conditions. The test conditions and procedures shall be as specified in clauses 5.2 and 5.3. 5.2 Power sources 5.2.1 Power sources for stand-alone equipment For non-battery-operated equipment, during testing the power source of the equipment shall be replaced by an external test power source capable of producing normal test voltages as specified in clause 5.3.2. 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. During tests the power source voltages shall be maintained within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test.
For battery-operated equipment, fully-charged internal batteries shall be used. The batteries used shall be as supplied or recommended by the provider. If internal batteries are used, at the end of each test the voltage shall be within a tolerance of ±5 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test. If the battery is not accessible (for example, it is internal to a sealed unit), then it is acceptable to determine the battery voltage at the start and end of the test by indirect means (e.g. battery health messages sent from the unit itself).
Alternatively, for battery-operated equipment, the external test power source may replace the supplied or recommended internal batteries at the required voltage - this shall be recorded and stated. In this case, the battery remains present, electrically isolated from the rest of the equipment, possibly by putting tape over its contacts. SIST EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1:2010

5.2.2 Power sources for plug-in radio devices The power source for testing plug-in radio devices shall be provided by a test fixture or host equipment. Where the host equipment and/or the plug-in radio device is battery powered, the battery may be removed and the test power source applied as close to the battery terminals as practicable. 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 recorded and stated. 5.3.2 Normal test power source 5.3.2.1 Mains voltage The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the mains shall be the nominal mains voltage. For the purpose of the present document, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage, or any of the declared voltages, for which the equipment was designed. The frequency of the test power source corresponding to the ac mains shall be between 49 Hz and 51 Hz. 5.3.2.2 Regulated lead-acid battery power sources When the radio equipment is intended for operation from the usual types of regulated lead-acid battery power source the normal test voltage shall be 1,1 multiplied by the nominal voltage of the battery (6 V, 12 V, etc.). 5.3.2.3 Other power sources For operation from other power sources or types of battery (primary or secondary), the normal test voltage shall be that declared by the equipment provider. Such values shall be recorded and stated. 6 General conditions 6.1 Modes of operation of the transmitter For the purpose of the measurements according to the present document, the transmitter shall be operated at the highest data rate which would be available in an operating mode. For packet based systems, this would include both the highest pulse repetition rate as well as the highest packet rate. Where the transmitter is designed with an adjustable output power, then all transmitter parameters shall be measured using the highest power level, as declared by the provider. If the transmitter is equipped with an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, it shall be made inoperative for the duration of the test. The manufacturer shall declare that the operating mode used during testing meets the above requirements. SIST EN 302 500-1 V2.1.1:2010

NOTE: Care should be taken when performing measurements on non-continuous transmitters, particularly those with low duty cycle, to ensure that the measurement equipment has captured the highest emissions from the device as it is rotated.
6.2 Normal test signals The test data that is used to modulate the transmitted signal for measurement of UWB emissions shall be similar to the data transmitted in the actual operation of the equipment. The test data shall be chosen so as to produce the highest mean transmit power spectral density which would be available in operation. The manufacturer shall declare that the transmitted signal used during testing meets the above requirements. The provider shall state as part of the test report the UWB modulation characteristics of the equipment under test, to the full extent necessary. 6.3 Test sites and general arrangements for radiated measurements The test site used for radiated transmitter measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1 or A.1.2 (i.e. only the "anechoic chamber" or "anechoic chamber with ground plane" test sites). The test site used for radiated receiver measurements shall be as described in clauses A.1.1, A.1.2 or A.1.3. The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.4. The substitution antenna used for radiated measurements shall be as described in clause A.1.5. For guidance on use of radiation test sites, coupling of signals and standard test positions used for radiated measurements, see clauses A.2 to A.4. Detailed descriptions of radiated measurement arrangements for UWB devices can be found in ITU-R Recommendation SM.1754 [i.1]. All reasonable efforts should be made to clearly demonstrate that emissions from the UWB transmitter do not exceed the specified levels, with the transmitter in the far field. To the extent practicable, the device under test should be measured at the distance specified in clause A.2.4 and with the specified measurement bandwidths (see clause 8). However, in order to obtain an adequate signal-to-noise ratio in the measurement system, radiated measurements may have to be made at distances less than those specified in clause A.2.4 and/or with reduced measurement bandwidths. The revised measurement configuration shall be stated on the test report, together with an explanation of why the signal levels involved necessitated measurement at the distance employed or with the measurement bandwidth used in order to be accurately detected by the measurement equipment and calculations demonstrating compliance. Where it is not practical to further reduce the measurement bandwidth (either because of limitations of commonly-available test equipment or difficulties in converting readings taken using one measurement bandwidth to those used by the limits in tables 2 to 4, and the required measurement distance would be so short that the device would not clearly be within the far field, the test report shall state this fact, the measurement distance and bandwidth used, the near field/far field distance for the measurement setup (see clause A.2.4), the measured device emissions, the achievable measurement noise floor and the frequency range(s) involved. 6.4 Testing of host connected equipment and plug-in radio devices For combined equipment and for radio parts for which connection to or integration with host equipment is required to offer functionality to the radio, different alternative test approaches are permitted. Where more than one such combination is intended, testing shall not be repeated for combinations of the radio part and various host equipment where the latter are substantially similar. Where more than one such combination is intended and the combinations are substantially dissimilar, one combination shall be tested against all requirements of the present document and all other combinations shall be tested separately for radiated spurious emissions only.

6.4.1 The use of a host or test fixture for testing plug-in radio devices Where the radio part is a plug-in radio device which is intended to be used within a variety of combinations, a suitable test configuration consisting of either a test fixture or a typical host equipment shall be used. This shall be representative for the range of combinations in which the device may be used. The test fixture shall allow the radio equipment part to be powered and stimulated as if connected to or inserted into the host or combined equipment. Measurements shall be made to all requirements of the present document. NOTE: For further information on this topic, see TR 102 070-2 [i.2]. 6.4.2 Testing of combinations 6.4.2.1 Alternative A: General approach for combinations Combined equipment or a combination of a plug-in radio device and a specific type of host equipment may be used for testing according to the full requirements of the present document. 6.4.2.2 Alternative B: For host equipment with a plug-in radio device
A combination of a plug-in radio device and a specific type of host equipment may be used for testing according to the full requirements of the present document. For radiated spurious emission tests the most appropriate harmonized EMC standard shall be applied to the host equipment. The plug-in radio device shall meet the radiated spurious emissions requirements as described in clause 9.1. 6.4.2.3 Alternative C: For combined equipment with a plug-in radio device Combined equipment may be used for testing according to the full requirements of the present document. For radiated other emissions the requirements of the most appropriate harmonized EMC standard shall be applied to the non-radio equipment. The plug-in radio device shall meet the radiated other emissions requirements as described in clause 9.1. In the case where the plug-in radio device is totally integrated and cannot operate independently, radiated emissions for the combination shall be tested using the most appropriate harmonized standard with the radio part in receive and/or standby mode.
