5.1.5.2.2 Testing of combinations
5.1.5.2.2.1 Alternative A: General approach for combinations
Combined equipment or a combination of a plug-in radio equipment and a specific type of host equipment may be used
for testing according to the full requirements of the present document.
5.1.5.2.2.2 Alternative B: For host equipment with a plug-in radio equipment
A combination of a plug-in radio equipment and a specific type of host equipment may be used for testing according to
the full requirements of the present document.
For radiated emission tests the most appropriate standard shall be applied to the host equipment. The plug-in radio
equipment shall meet the radiated emissions requirements as described in the present document.
5.1.5.2.2.3 Alternative C: For combined equipment with a plug-in radio equipment
Combined equipment may be used for testing according to the full requirements of the present document.
For radiated emissions the requirements of the most appropriate harmonized EMC standard shall be applied to the
non-radio equipment. The plug-in radio equipment shall meet the radiated emissions requirements as described in the
present document. In the case where the plug-in radio equipment is totally integrated and cannot operate independently,
radiated emissions for the combination shall be tested using the most appropriate harmonized standard with the radio
part in receive and/or standby mode. If the frequency range is less than the one defined in the present document,
additional measurements shall be performed to cover the remaining parts of the frequency range. With the radio in
transmit mode, the radiated emissions requirements of the present document shall be applied.
5.1.5.2.2.4 Alternative D: For equipment with multiple radios
Multi-radio equipment, where at least one of the radio parts is within the scope of the present document, may be used
for testing according to the full requirements of the present document. Additional requirements and limits for
multi-radio equipment are set out in the relevant harmonized radio product standards applicable to the other radio parts.
When measuring spurious emissions in the receive and/or standby mode, it is essential that none of the transmitters
within the combined equipment are transmitting.
5.1.5.2.2.4.1 The spurious emissions from each radio can be identified
Where the spurious emissions from each radio can be identified, then the spurious emissions from each radio are
assessed to the relevant harmonized radio standard.
5.1.5.2.2.4.2 The spurious emissions from each radio cannot be identified
Where the spurious emissions from each radio cannot be identified, then the combined equipment is assessed to the
spurious emission requirements contained in all of the relevant harmonized radio standards applicable to the radios
contained within the combined product.
Where the applicable harmonized radio standards contain different limits and measuring conditions, then the combined
product is assessed to the harmonized radio standard that specifies the least stringent limits for the common part of the
frequency measurement ranges. To assess the remaining parts of the frequency measurement ranges the limits from the
relevant harmonized radio standard should be used.
5.1.6 Test Fixture
In the case of equipment intended for use with an integral antenna and no external (temporary) antenna connectors are
provided, the manufacturer may be required to supply a test fixture, suitable to allow relative measurements to be made
on the UUT.
The test fixture and its use are further described in clause B.3.
