scope:

This ETS is intended to specify the minimum performance and the methods of measurement of radio equipment for use in the land mobile service as specified in the Scope. Clause 5 provides the corresponding limits. These limits have been chosen to ensure an acceptable grade of service and to minimise harmful interference to other equipment and services. They are based on the interpretation of the measurement results described in subclause 4.3.

This ETS covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. It applies to equipment with integral antennas, used in angle modulation systems in the land mobile service, operating on radio frequencies between 30 MHz and 1 000 MHz, with channel separations of 12,5 kHz, 20 kHz and 25 kHz, and is intended primarily for analogue speech.

This ETS is based upon CEPT Recommendation T/R 24-01 annex III [1], and is a general standard which may be superseded by specific standards covering specific applications.

In this ETS different requirements are given for the different radio frequency bands, channel separations, environmental conditions and types of equipment, where appropriate.

The measurement methods have been adapted from ETR 027 [3] where possible.

The type of equipment covered by this ETS is handportable stations with integral antennas.

This ETS covers angle modulation to be used for radio equipment, but individual national administrations are free to choose the type of modulation. Channel separations, maximum transmitter output power/effective radiated power and the inclusion of automatic transmitter shut-off facility may all be conditions attaching to the issue of a licence by the appropriate administration.

This ETS is complementary to ETS 300 086 [2] which covers radio equipment with an internal or external RF connector, for use in the land mobile service. It is primarily intended for omnidirectional applications.

Equipment which also includes an external or internal RF connector should be type tested to the requirements of ETS 300 086 [2] using this connector.

Additional standards or specifications may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection to the Public Switched Telephone Network (PSTN).

This ETS does not cover requirements for radiated emissions below 30 MHz.

This ETS may also be used by accredited test laboratories for the assessment of the performance of the equipment. The performance of the equipment submitted for type testing should be representative for the performance of the corresponding production model. In order to avoid any ambiguity in that assessment, this ETS contains instructions for the presentation of equipment for type testing purposes (clause 4), conditions (clause 6) and measurement methods (clauses 8 and 9).
