The EUT should be tested under the
following general test conditions:
- The tests should be carried out at representative points within the boundary limits
of the operational environmental profile and the operating voltage declared by the
manufacturer.
- Unless otherwise specified, the
measurements are performed using normal operation of the equipment (see item l in
Annex-E of EN 300 328 [14].
- The equipment is operated under its
worst case configuration (for example modulation, bandwidth, data rate, power) with
regards to the requirement to be tested. This worst case configuration is determined
and declared by the manufacturer (see item f in Annex-E of EN 300 328 [14]) and documented in the test report.
- Unless otherwise specified, either conducted or radiated measurements can be
used.
- For integral antenna equipment, connectors may be provided to allow conducted
measurements to be performed. In the case of integral antenna equipment that has no
antenna connector(s), the manufacturer may be required to supply a test fixture, to
allow relative measurements to be made.
- A suitable companion device is used
to set up a communication link for performance testing, whenever it required.
