SIST EN 301 511:2001 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 511 V7.0.1, a harmonized European standard for GSM mobile stations in the GSM 900 and DCS 1800 bands. It specifies minimum technical performance requirements for GSM mobile stations so they can meet Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive by using spectrum effectively and avoiding harmful interference.
What does SIST EN 301 511:2001 specify?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 specifies the technical requirements for GSM mobile station radio equipment operating in the GSM 900 and/or DCS 1800 bands. It covers Phase 2 and Phase 2+ terminal equipment for Releases 1996, 1997 and 1998.
The document is organized into:
- Clause 1 - Scope
- Clause 2 - References
- Clause 3 - Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
- Clause 4 - Technical requirements specifications
- Clause 5 - Testing for compliance with technical requirements
- Annex A - The EN requirement table
- Annex B - EN title in the official languages
- Annex C - Change history

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 511:2001?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 sets radio performance requirements that are checked against EN 300 607-1. In practice, manufacturers and test labs use it to verify that a GSM mobile station behaves correctly on transmit and receive, both in normal operation and in the specific modes it supports.
Environmental profile and test basis
Clause 4.1 requires the supplier to declare the environmental profile for operation. The equipment must comply with the technical requirements throughout the declared operating range. Clause 5.1 then says tests are run at representative points within that range, so compliance is not just a single-point result.
Transmitter performance
Clauses 4.2.1 to 4.2.11 cover transmitter frequency error and phase error, output power, burst timing, and output RF spectrum. Separate checks are given for normal operation and for HSCSD and GPRS multislot configurations, plus a specific case for MS supporting the R-GSM frequency band. In practice, this means the transmitter is checked not only for correct channel placement but also for spectrum purity and timing under the traffic modes the product supports.
Spurious emissions
Clauses 4.2.12 to 4.2.19 cover conducted and radiated spurious emissions in allocated channel mode and idle mode, again with extra cases for MS supporting the R-GSM frequency band. These requirements matter because unwanted emissions can interfere with other radio users even when the mobile station is not actively carrying a call.
Receiver performance
Clauses 4.2.20 and 4.2.21 cover receiver blocking and spurious response for speech channels, with a separate case for MS supporting the R-GSM frequency band. In practice, this checks whether the receiver keeps working near strong interfering signals.
Applicability of requirements
Annex A makes the requirements conditional on the mobile station type and supported functions. The table distinguishes HSCSD, R-GSM and GPRS support, and it also uses conditions for features such as full rate speech and a permanent antenna connector. That means a test plan must match the exact feature set of the product, not just the family name.
What terms does SIST EN 301 511:2001 define?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 defines Environmental profile as the range of environmental conditions in which the equipment must comply. That is the operating envelope declared by the supplier.
MS means Mobile Station. This is the GSM terminal equipment covered by the standard.
GSM means Global System for Mobile communications. The standard applies to GSM mobile stations in the GSM 900 and DCS 1800 bands.
R&TTE means Radio and Telecommunications Terminal Equipment. The standard is written to support Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive.
RF means Radio Frequency. The document uses this abbreviation in items such as output RF spectrum.
HSCSD identifies a multislot configuration covered by the technical requirements. It matters because some transmitter checks are specific to that operating mode.
GPRS identifies another multislot configuration covered by the technical requirements. Separate checks apply because packet operation can stress the transmitter differently from speech-only use.
Who uses SIST EN 301 511:2001?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 is used by GSM mobile station manufacturers, suppliers of active accessories, test laboratories, and conformity assessment teams. It is also useful for quality managers and buyers who need to understand which radio-performance tests apply to a GSM terminal before approval or procurement.
For manufacturers, it defines the radio requirements to design against. For labs, it points to the test cases in EN 300 607-1. For assessors, Annex A helps map the product’s supported functions to the relevant requirements.
What changed in SIST EN 301 511:2001 from the previous edition?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 is identified as equivalent to GSM 13.11 version 7.0.0, and the change history records an update to Version 7.0.1 for publication. The history also shows earlier editorial and technical steps leading from initial Phase 2 material to the Release 1998 version.
Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 511:2001?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 relies most directly on EN 300 607-1, which provides the conformity test methods and the referenced requirement text for each radio test. It also references GSM 02.01, GSM 02.06 and GSM 02.60 family documents through the annex conditions that determine which options and mobile station types apply.
Directive 1999/5/EC is the legal basis named in the scope and foreword. The references also include the EMC Directive and the LV Directive for the broader modular framework described in the introduction.
What does the SIST EN 301 511:2001 document contain?
SIST EN 301 511:2001 contains a requirement structure tied to EN 300 607-1 subclauses, plus a test section that points to the same test families for compliance checking. It includes an EN requirement table in Annex A that links each requirement to its status and applicability conditions.
The document also contains the national-adoption information, the ETSI foreword, and the modular explanation of how this radio standard fits the R&TTE framework. Annex C records the change history, which is useful when tracking the evolution of the Release 1998 version.
