4 Test conditions
4.1 General
4.1.1 Introduction
For the purposes of the present document, the test conditions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4 shall apply as
appropriate. Further product related test conditions for PMR equipment are specified in the present document.
For emission and immunity tests, the test modulation, test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document
clauses 4.1 to 4.5, shall apply.
4.1.2 Receivers
Whenever a receiver is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner
typical of normal intended use.
The individual immunity tests shall be performed with the receiver in the standby mode.
Fixed, mobile or pocket paging receivers:
• before the individual tests the receiver shall be set into the standby mode, a communications link shall be
established and the message memory of the receiver shall be loaded with recognizable messages, if applicable
(performance check);
• during the individual tests the wanted RF input signal shall not be applied to the receiver, except for the spot
frequency test as part of the radio frequency electromagnetic field immunity test;
• after the individual tests and the termination of the required performance assessment (e.g. by means of the
stored messages in the message memory of the receiver, see clauses 6.3 and 6.4) the communications link shall
be re-established and another performance check shall be carried out to verify that the EUT is still operational.
Base receivers:
• base receivers are not subject to the spot frequency test as part of the radio frequency electromagnetic field
immunity test;
• before the individual tests the base receiver shall be set into the standby mode, a communications link shall be
established and the output of the receiver shall be monitored (performance check);
• during the individual tests the wanted RF input signal (the unmodulated carrier, see clause 4.2) remains applied
to the base receiver;
• after the individual tests of the base receiver (see clauses 6.3 and 6.4) and the termination of the required
performance assessment (e.g. by means of audio breakthrough measurements at the output of the base receiver,
see clauses 6.3 and 6.4) the maintained communications link is switched off and re-established to ensure that the
base receiver is still able to receive new incoming requests.
4.1.3 Transmitters
Mobile and pocket transmitters:
• the mobile or pocket transmitter is not subject to the spot frequency test as part of the radio frequency
electromagnetic field immunity test;
• the mobile or pocket transmitter shall operate in transmit mode with an unmodulated carrier, at its maximum
rated output power. If unmodulated operation is not possible, the manufacturer shall specify the method of
performance assessment and the acceptable degradation of performance.
ETSI
---------------------- Page: 8 ----------------------
9 ETSI EN 301 489-2 V2.1.1 (2019-04)
Base transmitters:
• the base transmitter shall operate in the standby mode, except for the spot frequency test as part of the radio
frequency electromagnetic field immunity test (see clause 7.2.2, table 1), where the transmitter shall be tested
additionally operated at its maximum rated output power, modulated with normal test modulation (see
clause 4.5.5).
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.1 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply, with the following modifications.
Mobile and pocket transmitters:
• mobile or pocket transmitters are normally not equipped with an external modulation input port, if an external
modulation input port is present, the arrangement for base transmitters shall apply.
Base transmitters:
• for base transmitters, the signal generator to be used for the normal test modulation (see clause 4.5) shall be
located outside the test environment and connected to the modulation input port of the transmitter. Adequate
measures shall be taken to protect the measuring equipment from the effect of all of the radiated immunity test
fields within the test environment.
4.2.3 Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply with the following modification.
The transmitter shall be operated at its maximum rated RF output power, modulated with normal test modulation
(see clause 4.5). Where the transmitter incorporates a RF antenna connector, the output signal of the transmitter shall be
coupled to the measuring equipment via a shielded transmission line such as a coaxial cable. Where the transmitter does
not incorporate a RF connector, the output signal of the transmitter shall be coupled to an antenna located within the test
environment. This antenna shall be coupled by a shielded transmission line to the measuring equipment located outside of
the test environment.
Base transmitters:
• base transmitters are subject to the spot frequency test as part of the radio frequency electromagnetic field
immunity test (see clause 7.2.2, table 1). For this test the measuring equipment shall be a paging receiver and
repetitive calls shall be transmitted and coupled to the input of the paging receiver, located outside the test
environment.
4.2.4 Arrangements for test signals at the input of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.3 shall apply with the following modification.
A communication link shall be established at the start of the test and maintained during the test. The level of the wanted
RF input signal shall be chosen to a value significantly above the threshold sensitivity but below the overload
characteristics of the receiver (the signal level should be 60 dB above the threshold sensitivity).
Where the receiver incorporates a RF antenna connector, the RF signal source shall be coupled to the input of the
receiver via a shielded transmission line such as a coaxial cable. Where the receiver does not incorporate an RF
connector, the RF signal source shall be presented to the receiver from another antenna located within the test
environment. This antenna shall be coupled to the RF signal source via an adjustable attenuator.
ETSI

10 ETSI EN 301 489-2 V2.1.1 (2019-04)
Fixed, mobile and pocket paging receivers:
• for fixed, mobile or pocket paging receivers, the manufacturer shall at the time of submitting the equipment for
testing, supply if necessary, a test fixture and a message generator as stated in clause 4.5, to generate the wanted
RF input signal.
4.2.5 Arrangements for test signals at the output of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.4 shall apply.
Fixed, mobile and pocket paging receivers:
• for fixed, mobile, or pocket paging receivers, during the spot frequency test as part of the radio frequency
immunity test (see clause 7.2.2, table 1), the call received signal output of the receiver shall be coupled to the
measuring equipment, located outside the test environment (e.g. by non-metallic means such as an acoustic
tube/ coupler) and it shall be possible to assess the performance of the equipment from the call received
signal(s) of the receiver.
Base receivers:
• for base receivers, the audio signal output of the receiver shall be coupled to the measuring equipment, located
outside the test environment. When the receiver does not have an audio signal output, the manufacturer shall
specifiy the method of performance assessment and the comparable degradation of performance.
4.3 Exclusion bands
4.3.1 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.3 shall apply.
4.3.2 Receiver exclusion bands
The exclusion band for receivers (including receivers of pocket transceivers), is the frequency range determined by the
alignment range, as declared by the manufacturer, extended as follows:
• for receivers operating in the frequency band 25 MHz to 80 MHz, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is
the lower frequency of the alignment range, minus 10 % of the centre frequency of the alignment range or
minus 5 MHz, whichever results in the lower frequency. For such receivers, the upper frequency of the
exclusion band is the upper frequency of the alignment range, plus 10 % of the centre frequency of the
alignment range or plus 5 MHz, whichever is greater;
• for receivers operating above 80 MHz, the lower frequency of the exclusion band is the lower frequency of the
alignment range, minus 5 % of the centre frequency of the alignment range or 10 MHz, whichever results in the
lower frequency and the upper frequency of the exclusion band, is the upper frequency of the alignment range
plus 5 % of the centre frequency of the alignment range or plus 10 MHz, whichever is greater.
