Overview

SIST ETS 300 328:1998/A1:1998 is an amendment to the widely-recognized standard for Radio Equipment and Systems (RES), specifically focused on wideband data transmission equipment operating in the 2.4 GHz ISM band using spread spectrum modulation techniques. Developed under the auspices of SIST and ETSI, this amendment aligns the technical characteristics and testing conditions with the requirements of the EMC Directive (Council Directive 89/336/EEC), facilitating harmonization across European markets.

This document clarifies procedures for measuring wideband spurious emissions and incorporates references to the EMC Directive. When paired with ETS 300 826, the standard serves as the foundation for harmonized regulations across Europe, promoting free movement and efficient approval of radiocommunications equipment.

Key Topics

  • Wideband Data Transmission: The standard ensures that radio equipment using spread spectrum techniques in the 2.4 GHz ISM band adheres to clear technical parameters.
  • Spread Spectrum Modulation: Requirements and guidance are provided for modulation techniques that enhance resistance to interference and spectrum efficiency.
  • Spurious Emissions Measurements: Amendments clarify procedures for the accurate measurement and reporting of wideband and narrowband spurious emissions, essential for regulatory compliance.
  • Compliance with EMC Directive: Integration of EMC Directive requirements ensures technical and electromagnetic compatibility.
  • Type Approval Regulations: The standard is referenced in national type approval regimes and supported by the ERC Decision for Europe-wide implementation.
  • Harmonization: Facilitates equipment approval and market access across the CEPT Member countries by aligning national regulations to this European harmonized standard.

Applications

This standard and its amendment are critical for manufacturers, test laboratories, and regulatory bodies involved with:

  • Wireless LANs (WLAN): Ensuring devices, such as Wi-Fi equipment, meet harmonized European requirements for 2.4 GHz operation.
  • Industrial, Scientific, and Medical (ISM) Equipment: Supporting a broad range of applications from consumer electronics to data collection terminals and wireless barcode readers.
  • Conformance Testing: Providing consistent test methods for spurious emissions and other technical parameters, simplifying the certification process for new products.
  • Market Access: Guaranteeing that products conforming to this standard can be marketed and operated legally across multiple countries without conflicting national standards.
  • Device Development: Supporting engineers and product developers in integrating compliant wireless functionality into new solutions while maintaining EMC requirements.

Related Standards

  • ETSI ETS 300 328: The core standard for radio equipment and systems using wideband transmission in the 2.4 GHz ISM band.
  • ETS 300 826: Complementary standard addressing EMC requirements for radio equipment.
  • ERC/DEC/(96)17: ERC Decision supporting harmonized approval regulations for radio equipment as outlined in ETS 300 328.
  • Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive): The European regulatory framework for electromagnetic compatibility.

SIST ETS 300 328:1998/A1:1998 plays a central role in ensuring technical interoperability, regulatory compliance, and ease of market entry for wireless data transmission equipment in Europe, supporting the advancement of robust wireless solutions across diverse industries.

Page 5, Foreword
Replace the first paragraph with the following:
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been prepared by the Radio Equipment and
Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS, together with ETS 300 826 is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of
which is intended to be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities, referencing
Council Directive 89/336/EEC (EMC Directive).
Insert the following after the last paragraph:
The technical specifications relevant to the EMC Directive are listed in annex D.
Annex E contains the ERC Decision which references the technical specifications in this ETS for inclusion
in national type approval regulations.
Page 18, subclause 7.2.1
Modify step 1, first bullet item to read:
".coupled to a matched diode detector"
Page 19, subclause 7.2.1
In step 2, second bullet item, first indented bullet item, add
"dBm"
after the formula.
Page 23, subclause 7.2.5
Replace paragraph beginning "For measuring emissions that exceed the level of 6 dB below the
applicable limit" with:
For further analysis of spurious emissions that exceed the level of 6 dB below the applicable limit, video
averaging shall be turned on, the resolution bandwidth shall be switched to 30 kHz and the span shall be
adjusted accordingly. If the level does not change by more than 2 dB, it is a narrowband emission; the
observed value shall be recorded in the test report. If the level changes by more than 2 dB, the emission is
a wideband emission and its level shall be measured and recorded in the test report.
It is stressed that the analyser settings given above are not suited for the measurement of wideband
emissions in dBm/Hz according to table 2. The method of measurement (in case of using a spectrum
analyser: the model and the settings) for the measurement for these emissions shall be documented in
the test report.
Replace the text in subclause 7.3.2 on page 24, starting with "Where these Measurements…." and until
the last sentence before clause 8, by
"For finding spurious emissions, the spectrum analyser shall be set as follows:
(table as given on page 24)
For further analysis of spurious emissions that exceed the level of 6 dB below the applicable limit, video
averaging shall be turned on, the resolution bandwidth shall be switched to 30 kHz and the span shall be
adjusted accordingly. If the level does not change by more than 2 dB, it is a narrowband emission; the
observed value shall be recorded in the test report. If the level changes by more than 2 dB, the emission is
a wideband emission and its level shall be measured and recorded in the test report.

It is stressed that the analyser settings given above are not suited for the measurement of the power
density of spurious emissions in dBm/Hz. The method of measurement (in case of using a spectrum
analyser: the model and the settings) for the measurement for these emissions, shall be documented in
the test report".
