The present document specifies the technical characteristics to be provided by TErrestrial Trunked Radio (TETRA)
terminal equipment, which uses the TETRA technology. It applies only to terminal equipment intended for police and
emergency services operating within European harmonized frequency bands in the range 380 MHz to 385 MHz and
390 MHz to 395 MHz.
The objective of the present document is to ensure that no disturbance occurs to the public telecommunications
network, to ensure proper inter-working of TETRA terminals with TETRA networks, and TETRA terminal to TETRA
terminal so that communication can be routed successfully through the applicable network(s).
In addition to the present document, other Harmonized Standards may apply.
Requirements apply to the network interface and the Radio Frequency (RF) Air Interface of the equipment.
TETRA terminal equipment consists of several elements. The present document is structured to enable the approval of
the individual elements as separate items. Because of the need for effective use of the radio spectrum, the essential air
interface characteristics will always apply. For each essential requirement a test is given including measurement
methods.
In the present document there are no Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements in terms of the Terminal
Directive 98/13/EC [40], article 5c.
NOTE: Technical requirements for EMC performance are covered by the relevant standards applicable to the
EMC Directive 89/336/EEC [43] which also lays down the conformity assessment procedure.
The present document is based on the radio and protocol provisions of ETS 300 392, ETS 300 394 and ETS 300 396.
