Overview
SIST EN 301 087 V5.3.1:2003 specifies the radio aspects of Base Station System (BSS) equipment for the Global System for Mobile Communications (GSM), including both Phase 2 and Phase 2+ systems. Published by the Slovenski inštitut za standardizacijo (SIST), this standard aligns with the European Standard EN 301 087 and focuses on ensuring the conformance and performance of GSM base station radio equipment, supporting reliable digital cellular telecommunications.
Key objectives include the specification of radio characteristics, testing requirements, and measurement methodologies. This covers critical areas such as conducted spurious emissions, intra-base transceiver station (BTS) intermodulation attenuation, and signal level measurements under multipath conditions. The standard underpins uniformity and interoperability across GSM networks, fostering robust communication infrastructure.
Key Topics
Conducted Spurious Emissions
- Definition and limits for spurious emissions arising from the BTS antenna connector, both inside and outside the BTS transmit band.
Intermodulation Attenuation
- Testing and minimum attenuation requirements for intermodulation products generated within the BTS, to mitigate self-interference and cross-channel effects.
Sampling Requirements for TCH/HS
- Guidance on the statistical basis for defining the number of samples needed for Traffic Channel/ Half Slot (TCH/HS) measurements.
Average Signal Level Measurements
- Procedures for measuring average radio signal levels through multipath fading simulators to replicate real-world propagation conditions and assess BTS receiver performance.
Radio Transmitter and Receiver Performance
- Criteria for output power, frequency error, phase error, adjacent channel power, reference sensitivity, interference levels, and blocking characteristics.
Test Environments
- Specifications for normal and extreme test conditions, including temperature, vibration, and power supply variations.
Applications

ETSIEN 301 087 V5.3.1 (1998-11)9GSM 11.21 version 5.3.11ScopeThis EN specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and conformance requirements for GSM 900 and DCS 1800Base Station Systems (BSS)s. These have been derived from, and are consistent with, the core GSM specificationsspecified in the requirements reference subclause of each test.This EN is applicable BSS meeting the requirements of either GSM Phase 2 or GSM Phase 2+. Unless otherwise stated,all tests are applicable to BSS meeting Phase 2 and/or Phase 2+ GSM requirements, because the requirements of thePhase 2 and Phase 2+ core GSM specifications which are referenced in the test are consistent. Most differences betweenPhase 2 and Phase 2+ requirements represent Phase 2+ features which are optional for the BSS to support.For each test, two conformance requirements are specified:-essential conformance requirements;-complete conformance requirements.Essential conformance requirements are those which are required:a)to ensure compatibility between the radio channels in the same cell;b)to ensure compatibility between cells, both co-ordinated and unco-ordinated;c)to ensure compatibility with existing systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands;d)to verify the important aspects of the transmission quality of the system.Essential conformance requirements are sufficient to verify the performance of the equipment for radio type approvalpurposes, in countries where this is applicable.Complete conformance requirements may be tested to verify all aspects of the performance of a BSS. Theserequirements are intended to be used by manufacturers and operators to allow conformance and acceptance testing to beperformed in a consistent manner; the tests to be performed should be agreed between the parties.In some tests there are separate requirements for micro-BTS and BTS. If there is no separate requirement for amicro-BTS, the requirements for the BTS apply to a micro-BTS.In the present document, the reference point for RF connections (except for the measurement of mean transmitted RFcarrier power) is the antenna connector, as defined by the manufacturer. This EN does not apply to repeaters or RFdevices which may be connected to an antenna connector of a BSS, except as specified in subclause 4.10.2Normative referencesReferences may be made to:a)specific versions of publications (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.), inwhich case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; orb)all versions up to and including the identified version (identified by "up to and including" before the versionidentity); orc)all versions subsequent to and including the identified version (identified by "onwards" following the versionidentity); ord)publications without mention of a specific version, in which case the latest version applies.A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]GSM 01
