Gives detailed methods of making measurements selected and recommended for assessing the essential properties of the equipment but is not mandatory that measurements of all the defined characteristics be made. Suitable for radio transmitting and receiving equipment and systems used in the mobile services. Limited to land and mobile stations in the mobile services and to portable and personal equipment which operates in one or more radio-frequency channels below 1000 MHz and is intended for the transmission and the reception, either in a simplex or a duplex mode, of emissions modulated by a single information channel.

This standard applies to radio transmitting and receiving equipment and systems used in the mobile services.

This standard is restricted to land and mobile stations in the mobile services and to portable and personal equipment which may operate in one or more radio-frequency channels in the frequency range below 1 000 MHz and is intended for the transmission and the reception, either in a simplex or a duplex mode, of emissions modulated by a single information channel.

In this standard, the equipment includes the aerial (antenna) change-over device or the duplexer, if used, but does not include:

• the aerial (antenna) or aerial (antenna) system except in the case of equipment using integral aerials (antennas);
• the input transducer of the transmitter;
• the output transducer of the receiver except in the case of equipment using integral transducers (see note).

NOTE The performance of the equipment depends upon that of the input and the output transducers used. Assessing the performance of these transducers may be the subject of separate measurements which are outside the scope of this standard.

This standard also provides for testing certain special sub-systems (see Clause 10).
