Introduction
The product family of Short Range Devices covers a wide range of equipment types, which may have different sets of
performance criteria set out in the relevant radio standards and/or product standards.

The present document is intended for all SRD types and applies a standard set of performance criteria. This includes the
requirement that the equipment continues to operate as intended under certain standardised conditions of EMC stress.

The term "Short Range Device" (SRD) is intended to cover the radio equipment which provides either uni-directional or
bi-directional communication and which have low capability of causing interference to other radio equipment. SRDs
use either integral, dedicated or external antennas and all modes of modulation can be permitted subject to relevant
standards. For Short Range Devices individual licenses are normally not required.

 10 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-3 V2.1.2 (2021-03)

4 Test conditions

4.1 General
The test conditions and provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4 shall apply, with the modifications in clause 4 of
the present document.

4.2 Arrangements for test signals

4.2.1 General
The coupling mechanism for wanted RF signals between the EUT and the measuring and/or test equipment may include
attenuation to control the level of the signals. The coupling mechanism shall be entirely passive so that the reciprocal
path loss is the same.

The wanted signals and/or controls required to exercise the EUT shall be representative of the EUT’s intended use.

4.2.2 Receiver wanted input signal

For radiated immunity testing, the level of the wanted signal at the input of the receiver or the enclosure port of the
EUT, shall be 30 dB (±3 dB) above the minimum usable receiver signal level.For all other tests the level of the wanted
signal shall be representative of the EUT intended use.

In the case of radiated coupling (eg., integral antenna equipment), the wanted signal level shall be established for each
orientation in which the EUT is tested.

NOTE: A simple method to establish the required wanted signal level is to establish operation, reduce level to the
point of failure then increase by 30 dB.

4.2.3 Equipment with an external antenna connector

This clause applies to EUT with an externally mounted conventional RF antenna connector. If access to the antenna
connector involves modification or dismantling of the EUT then this clause does not apply.

The EUT shall be tested with its antenna removed.

4.2.4 Equipment without an external antenna connector (integral antenna)

This clause applies to EUT to which clause 4.2.3 does not apply.

The EUT shall be tested as configured for intended use.

4.2.5 Equipment with more than one antenna

If the EUT has more than one antenna port, e.g. separate antennas for Tx and Rx or separate antennas for different
operating frequencies or diversity antennas, then:

• If clause 4.2.3 applies to all the antenna ports, then the EUT shall be tested according to clause 4.2.3.

• Otherwise it shall be tested according to clause 4.2.4.

ETSI
 11 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-3 V2.1.2 (2021-03)

NOTE: The reason is that replacing one antenna by a transmission line may affect the operation of any other
antennas.

4.3 RF Exclusion bands

4.3.1 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.3 shall not apply.

4.3.2 Exclusion bands for emissions testing

4.3.2.1 Transmitters
Where the applicable harmonised radio standard specifies an Operating Channel and an Out of Band domain, then these
together shall form the exclusion band.

Where this is not so specified the exclusions bands shall be as below:

• For transmitters operating, or intended to operate, in a channelized frequency band, the exclusion band is five
times (i.e. ±250 %) the maximum Operating Channel Width (OCW) allowed for that service, centred around
the operating frequency.

• For all other transmitters, the exclusion band is twice the intended operating frequency band centred around
the centre frequency of the intended operating frequency band.

This exclusion band shall only apply when the EUT is in transmit mode of operation.

4.3.2.2 Receivers
No exclusion band applies.

4.3.2.3 Duplex and multi-mode equipment

In the case of EUT tested with a simultaneous transmit and receive mode, the exclusion band used shall be the one for
the transmitter. I.e. only one exclusion band shall be applied.

In the case of transmitters capable of operating on more than one frequency band, testing shall be carried out on each
band separately.

4.3.3 Exclusion bands for immunity testing

4.3.3.1 Transmitters
The exclusion band shall be as specified for emissions testing in clause 4.3.2.1.

4.3.3.2 Receivers
The exclusion band is based on the lower edge (FOClow) and the upper edge (FOChigh) and the centre (f0) of the
Operating Channel (OC).

Where the OC is defined in the applicable harmonised radio standard, the values for that shall be used and f0 shall be the
centre of the OC. In all other cases, f0 shall be the receiver operating frequency and the OC shall be +/-0,05 % around f0.

Tables 2 and 3 show the lower and upper limits of the exclusion band.

whichever is higher
1 GHz to < 6 GHz FOChigh + 100 MHz
≥ 6 GHz FOChigh + 0,05 x f0

4.3.3.3 Duplex and multi-mode equipment

In the case of EUT tested with a simultaneous transmit and receive mode, the exclusion band used shall be the
combination of the exclusion band for the transmitter and the exclusion band for the receiver. I.e. both exclusion bands
shall be applied.

In the case of transmitters capable of operating on more than one frequency band, testing shall be carried out on each
band separately.

In the case of receivers operating on more than one frequency, the exclusion band used shall be the combination of the
exclusion bands for each operating frequency, i.e. an exclusion band for each operating frequency shall be applied.

NOTE: Where the operating frequencies are in the same operational frequency band, the result will usually be an
enlarged single exclusion band. Where the frequencies are widely spaced, e.g. in different bands, the
result will be to create multiple separate exclusion bands.

4.4 Arrangements for testing

4.4.1 Operating modes
The EUT, whether transmitter, receiver, transceiver or multi-mode, will generally have one or more of the following
operating modes:

• Power Off.

• Standby (there may be more than one level of standby).

• Receive.

• Transmit.

• Duplex such as Frequency Division Duplex (FDD) or Time Division Duplex (TDD), or Time Division
Multiple Access (TDMA).

An "off" condition in which the EUT is able to respond to a wake up event, other than mechanical operation of a power
switch, shall be considered a form of standby mode.

ETSI
 13 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-3 V2.1.2 (2021-03)

4.4.2 Associated test equipment

For the purposes of demonstrating correct functioning, the EUT may be required to interact with associated equipment,
generally outside the measurement area.

The associated equipment may be:

• standard test or measuring equipment;

• a device similar to the EUT;

• ancillary equipment;

• special test equipment;

• a simulator.

5 Ancillary equipment
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 5, shall apply.

6 Performance Criteria

6.1 Introduction
The performance criteria are used to make an assessment whether a radio equipment passes or fails immunity tests.

Only the performance criteria specified in the present document or in ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1] where referenced shall
apply.

The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 6, shall apply together with the following.

6.2 Continuous and non-continuous operation

Latency is the time delay between the initiation and the completion of operation of the EUT. Correct functioning
requires completing the relevant operation within the maximum latency time.

Where the maximum latency is specified in the applicable harmonised radio standard (in the wanted performance
criterion, or an acknowledge requirement), that value shall be used.

Where this is not the case, then the maximum latency is that required by the intended use of the EUT.

6.3 Operating modes

Where the EUT has more than one mode of operation (see clause 4.4.1), an unplanned transition from one mode to
another is considered as an unintentional response. The EUT shall be tested in all modes to confirm there are no such
unintentional responses.
