channel may be time-shared in order to allow radio communication in both directions by simplex
operation. The term "channel" is sometimes used to denote two associated radio-frequency channels, each
of which is used for one of two directions of transmission, i.e. in fact a telecommunication circuit.
co-channel: transmission using the same channel (frequency band of 5 MHz width)

Although receivers do not themselves cause harmful interference, reception capabilities are an increasingly important
factor in ensuring the efficient use of radio spectrum by way of an increased resilience of receivers against harmful
interference and unwanted signals on the basis of the relevant essential requirements of Union harmonisation legislation
(Directive 2014/53/EU [i.5]).
ETSI
17 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
Measurements shall not be performed within an exclusion band of ±2,5 times the DSRC channel spacing of 5 MHz,
i.e. ± 12,5 MHz around the RSU carrier frequency fTx under test.
[Link] Sensitivity
The OBU sensitivity is the minimum incident power Psens referred to a loss-less isotropic antenna at the location of the
OBU receive antenna that allows the OBU to receive DSRC frames with a BER of 10-6 or smaller. This applies for all
orientations of the OBU receive antenna within a cone of opening angle θ according to figure 1, denoted as worst case
direction, around boresight.
The OBU sensitivity Psens and the worst case direction shall be declared by the manufacturer.
Additionally,
shall apply.
If the manufacturer does not declare the worst case direction, then the sensitivity requirement shall apply for θ = 35°. In
this case, measurements shall be performed at the directions indicated by M0, M1, M2, M3, and M4, see figure 1.
The unwanted signal is considered to be an unmodulated carrier. The received wanted DSRC incident power level at the
phase centre of the OBU antenna (see clause 4.4.3) is considered to be -37 dBm (6 dB above the OBU sensitivity level).
For these considerations the power limit at the phase centre of the OBU antenna that does not degrade the BER to a
value greater than 10-6 shall conform to the limit given in table 8 for the selected OBU receiver selectivity class.
ETSI
18 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
The unwanted signal is considered to be an unmodulated carrier which differs in frequency from the wanted signal by
± 50 MHz, ± 100 MHz , and ± 200 MHz.
The received wanted DSRC incident power level at the phase centre of the OBU antenna (see clause 4.4.3) is
considered to be -37 dBm (6 dB above the OBU sensitivity level). For these considerations the power limit at the phase
centre of the OBU antenna that does not degrade the BER to a value greater than 10-6 shall conform to the limit given in
table 9 for the selected OBU receiver selectivity class.
4.4.3 Antennas
All equipment antennas shall be LHCP according to parameters U5 and U5a in CEN EN 12253 [3].
In case an OBU does not provide an antenna connector, then either one antenna for receiving and transmitting, or one
antenna for receiving and one antenna for transmitting are implemented. In the first case, the phase centre of the OBU
antenna is entitled Mc, see figure 1. In the latter case it is assumed that the two antennas are close to each other and
point approximately to the same direction. The centre between these two antennas then is entitled Mc. For the purpose
of easy reading of the present document, in what follows Mc is referred to as "phase centre of the OBU antenna".
The minimum operational direction of OBU receive and transmit antenna is characterized by a cone with opening
angle θ around boresight as depicted in figure 1. The OBU shall provide specific properties inside the cone. The border
of the cone itself is referred to as worst case direction. The directions M0 through M4 and the phase centre Mc of the
OBU antenna are related to measurements described in the present document.

Annex B (normative):
Basics on testing
B.1 General conditions
B.1.1 Power source
For testing the equipment shall be powered by a test power source, capable of producing test voltages as declared by the
manufacturer.
For battery operated equipment the battery shall be removed and an external test power source shall be suitably
decoupled. For radiated measurements any external power leads shall be arranged so as not to affect the measurements.
If necessary, the external test power source may be replaced with the supplied or recommended internal batteries at the
required voltage, or a battery simulator. This shall be stated on the test report. For radiated measurements on portable
equipment, fully charged internal batteries shall be used. The batteries used shall be as supplied or recommended by the
applicant.
During tests the external test power source voltages shall be within a tolerance of ±1 % relative to the voltage at the
beginning of each test. The value of this tolerance can be critical for certain measurements. Using a smaller tolerance
provides a better uncertainty value for these measurements. If internal batteries are used, at the end of each test the
voltage shall be within a tolerance of ±5 % relative to the voltage at the beginning of each test.
The internal impedance of the external test power source shall be low enough for its effect on the test results to be
negligible. For the purpose of the tests, the voltage of the external test power source shall be measured at the input
terminals of the equipment.
The equipment shall be switched off during the temperature stabilizing period.
In the case of equipment containing temperature stabilization circuits designed to operate continuously, the temperature
stabilization circuits shall be switched on for a time period as declared by the manufacturer such that thermal balance
has been obtained, and the equipment shall then meet the specified requirements.
If the thermal balance is not checked by measurements, a temperature stabilizing period of at least one hour, or such
period as may be decided by the test laboratory, shall be allowed. The sequence of measurements shall be chosen and
the relative humidity content in the test chamber shall be controlled so that condensation does not occur.
Data coding and bit rates in downlink and uplink shall be according to parameters D7, U7 and D8, D8a, U8, U8a of
CEN EN 12253 [3], respectively.

The ground plane shall provide adequate size, such as to approximate infinite size. Relevant parts of the ground plane
shall be covered by absorbing material.
Test shall be limited to the frequency range between 30 MHz and 1 000 MHz.
Measurements performed in open area test sites follow the same procedures as detailed for radiated measurements
performed in shielded anechoic chambers.
The open area test site shall be calibrated and validated for the frequency range being applicable.
NOTE: Information on uncertainty contributions, and verification procedures are detailed in clause 5 and
clause 6, respectively, of ETSI TR 102 273-4 [i.3].
The coupling device usually comprises a small antenna that is placed, physically and electrically, close to the EUT. This
coupling device is used for sampling or generating the test fields when the EUT is undergoing testing. Figure B.5
illustrates an EUT mounted on a test fixture.
The entire assembly of test fixture plus EUT is generally compact and it can be regarded as a EUT with antenna
connector. Its compactness enables the whole assembly to be accommodated within a test chamber, usually a climatic
facility. The circuitry associated with the RF coupling device should contain no active or non-linear components and
should present a VSWR of better than 1,5 to a 50 Ω line.
Absolute measurements shall not be made in a test fixture as the antenna of the EUT and the one of the test fixture
might be mutually in the near-field range of each other. Hence, only relative measurements shall be performed that shall
be related to results taken on a verified free field test site.
ETSI
37 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
The way to relate the results is by a process, referred to as field equalization, in which the relevant parameter,
e.g. effective radiated power, receiver sensitivity, etc. is initially measured on a free field test site under normal
environmental conditions and then subsequently re-measured using the test fixture under the very same environmental
conditions. The difference, e.g. in dB, of the two results is termed the coupling factor of the test fixture and provides the
link between all the results of EUT tests carried out in the test fixture and its performance on a verified free field test
site. As a general rule, the coupling factor should not be greater than 20 dB.
Emission tests are generally limited to the nominal frequencies, for which the performance of the test fixture has been
verified.
Only after it has been verified that the test fixture does not affect performance of the EUT, the EUT can be confidently
tested.
The test fixtures shall be calibrated and validated for the frequency range they are used for.
NOTE: Information on uncertainty contributions, and verification procedures are detailed in clause 5 and
clause 6, respectively, of ETSI TR 102 273-6 [12].
All RF cables exposed to radiation shall be loaded with ferrite beads spaced with a gap of Dfb between each other along
the entire length of the cable. Such cables are referred to as FCCA. The gap Dfb shall be less than half of the signal's
wavelength under test.
All RF cables shall be routed suitably in order to reduce impacts on antenna radiation pattern, antenna gain, antenna
impedance.

4) The displacement shall either be horizontally or vertically such as to minimize the coupling between these
antennas. The distance ddisplace shall be such that the coupling loss between the two antennas exceeds 30 dB.
ETSI
49 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
The actual coupling loss and the distance ddisplace shall be stated in the test report together with the unique
identification of the RTxA and RRxA used.
5) The OBU under test shall be fixed on a vertical pole at the other end of the shielded anechoic chamber, such
that its antenna boresight direction points towards Mcentre.
6) The height of the phase centres above floor of the RTxA, RRxA, TTA and the OBU antenna shall be equal.
7) The boresight of the RTxA shall point towards the phase centre of the OBU antenna.
8) The boresight of the RRxA shall point towards the phase centre of the OBU antenna.
9) The distance d shall be chosen so that the OBU antenna(s) are mutually in the far field of RTxA and RRxA,
see clause B.[Link].
10) The displacement angle αdisplace = 2 × α between RTxA and RRxA as observed from the OBU under test shall
comply with:
⎛ d displace ⎞
α displace = 2 × arctan⎜⎜ ⎟⎟,
⎝ 2×d ⎠
α displace ≤ 2o for horizontally displaced antennas,
α displace ≤ 6o for vertically displaced antennas.
11) Ensure by proper decoupling that the signal from the ASG is not disturbing the RSU receiver (this can be
validated by a CRC check of the received frames, or a noise level monitoring).
For the arrangement with an RSU with separate antenna connectors for receive and transmit path (figure B.13):
1) Connect the RRxA to the RSU receiver via an isolator, an adjustable attenuator AT2 with attenuation ATNAT2,
and an FCCA.
2) Connect the RSU transmitter to the RTxA via an isolator, an adjustable attenuator AT1, an FCCA, and a
combiner with three terminals.
For the arrangement with an RSU with single antenna connector for receive and transmit path (figure B.14):
2) Connect the CC to the RTxA via an adjustable attenuator AT1, an FCCA, and a combiner with three terminals.
4) Connect the RRxA to the CC via an adjustable attenuator AT2 with attenuation ATNAT2 and an FCCA.
B.2 Instruments
B.2.1 Receiving device
The RD shall be either a spectrum analyser or a measurement receiver. The subsequent requirements shall apply for a
spectrum analyser:
1) The level of the superposition of all RF signals simultaneously fed to the input of the spectrum analyser shall
be within its range of specification applying for its calibrated operational mode of operation.
2) The RD shall be operated only within modes for which the instrument has been calibrated.
3) For any frequency to be measured, the noise floor of the RD shall be at least 10 dB below any power value
intended to be measured, e.g. limits for spurious emissions, referred to the location where the limit applies.
ETSI
50 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
4) The DC voltage fed to the input of the spectrum analyser shall be within its range of specification applying for
its calibrated operational mode of operation.
5) The frequency error of the spectrum analyser shall be compliant with table 10.
6) The nominal characteristic impedance of the spectrum analyser's input connector shall match the nominal
characteristic impedance of the device connected to this input connector. The VSWR shall be less than 2,0. If
this cannot be met, an attenuator or an isolator featuring a VSWR less or equal to 2,0 within the frequency
range of the measurement shall be attached to the input of the spectrum analyser and the EUT shall be
connected to the input of this attenuator or isolator.
7) The Video Bandwidth (VBW) shall always be equal to or greater than the Resolution Bandwidth (RBW)
selected. The RBW will also be referred to as the reference or equivalent bandwidth. See as well clause 4.5 of
CISPR 16-1 [14].
8) For spurious and out-of-band emission measurements the RBW of the spectrum analyser shall be set to the
required RBW specified in the test procedure:
- The measurements may be performed using an RBW that is less than the required one and multiple
measurements shall be carried out across the required RBW within non-overlapping frequency bins
whose width equal to the selected RBW. The signal power measured within each of these frequency bins
shall be added up to obtain the wanted signal power within the required RBW.
- If the required RBW is less than the smallest one offered by the spectrum analyser and does not match
any of the available ones of the spectrum analyser, the measured signal powers shall be performed with a
RBW that is closest to the required RBW. The signal power measured shall be scaled according to the
ratio of the required RBW to the RBW used while performing the measurements.
9) Signal power measurements performed using the spectrum analyser's CW mode shall equal to the arithmetic
average of the largest and smallest signal level measured during the observation time.
10) The spectrum analyser shall be used only after the instrument has warmed up. The minimum warm up duration
is usually specified in the manual of the spectrum analyser. If this is not the case, a warm up time of at least
half an hour shall be considered.
12) If the dynamic range of the spectrum analyser in conjunction with the required setting of the RBW is not
sufficient to measure relevant weak signals in the presence of irrelevant strong signal components appropriate
measures to suppress the irrelevant strong signal components shall be applied in agreement between
manufacturer and test laboratory and shall be described in the test report.
For the usage of a measurement receiver the above requirements shall apply as well with the exception, where
requirements are not applicable, e.g. VBW.
1) RF signal power measurements shall not be performed before warm-up of the RF power sensor and the RF
power meter. The warm-up duration is usually specified in the manual of the instrument. If this is not the case
the instrument shall be allowed for a warm-up time of at least half an hour.
2) The RF power sensor and RF power meter shall be calibrated and zeroed before usage according to the
requirements and the procedure specified in the manual of the instrument.
3) The RF power sensor shall be kept within a small enough temperature range such as to keep the measurement
uncertainty of the measurement set up within the range specified in clause 5.2.
4) The VSWR at the input of the RF power sensor shall be less than 1,5 within the frequency range of the
measurement under investigation.
ETSI
51 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
5) The level of the superposition of all signals simultaneously fed to the input of the RF power sensor shall be
within the dynamic range of the RF power sensor as stated by its manufacturer for its operational mode.
6) The power sensor shall be dedicated for the signal waveform under consideration.
B.2.3 Combiner
All RF combiners used within the measurement arrangements and set ups shall provide coaxial connectors at all ports
and feature within the frequency range they are used:
• an amplitude balance between each of the input ports and the output port of less than 1 dB.
NOTE: Figure B.15 does not allow extracting valid timing relations between carrier frequency and bit rate.

An RSU normally allows for a transmit mode "send unmodulated carrier", i.e. continuous transmission of the
1 2
unmodulated carrier. Thus it is possible to measure the power of the unmodulated signal in figure B.15, PCW = ACW ,
2
by means of a thermal power sensor or a spectrum analyser.
An RSU does normally not allow for continuous transmission of the modulated carrier. In what follows a procedure is
1 2
described, that allows to estimate the power Pmod = Amod
2
( )
1 + m 2 of the modulated carrier:
1) Set the RSU in a mode that it transmits an unmodulated carrier. Measure PCW.
ETSI
52 Draft ETSI EN 300 674-2-2 V2.0.3 (2016-03)
2) Set the RSU in a mode that it transmits BSTs of maximum possible duration Tmod with a repetition period as
close as possible to twice of the duration of a BST transmission. The gap between subsequent BST
transmissions has duration TCW. The duration Tmod and TCW shall be constant within the following test.
3) Measure the average signal power Pavg of the signal transmitted according to step 2 with measurement time of
at least ten times the repetition period TCW + Tmod.
The direct way requires the possibility to generate and receive a continuous bit stream of significant length. The fraction
of erroneous bits out of the total number of received bits is the BER. This approach uses standard laboratory equipment
for BER measurement and requires a modification of the EUT.
The indirect way is based on generating and receiving frames of limited length where any bit errors in the frame can be
detected by means of a CRC. The fraction of erroneous frames out of the total number of frames, which is called the
FER, allows to estimate the BER assuming that bit errors are equally distributed. Precautions shall be taken to prevent
drops of error-free received frames caused by specific implementation of upper layers.
FER = 1 - (1 - BER)N,
lg (1− FER)
BER = 1 − 10 N
= 1 − N 1 − FER .
The minimum number CF of frames together with the frame size shall be reported.
EXAMPLE 1: With BER = 10-6 and frame length N = 1 000 the equivalent FER amounts to approximately
1,0 × 10-3. A reasonable number CF of frames to be transmitted is 10 000, i.e. 10 frames may be
lost on average.
EXAMPLE 2: For a large value of FER, e.g. 0,999 9 which may result from a BER = 2,0 × 10-2 as used for test, a
reasonable number CF of frames to be transmitted is 100 000, i.e. 10 frames may be error-free on
average. The very large number of frames to be transmitted is to be able at all to estimate the BER,
as a small variation in erroneous frames may change significantly the corresponding estimated
BER.

B.4.3.2 Equipment
FER measurements can be easily conducted using the set of test messages TM1. Thus standard DSRC equipment might
be used, if the following software configuration has been implemented:
• initialization with BST and VST is implemented; see CEN EN 12795 [7] and CEN EN 12834 [8];
In case of a bit error performance measurement of the RSU receiver, the following additional configuration
requirements apply:
• An [Link] transmitted by the RSU and not responded by the OBU under test shall be treated as "never
transmitted", as in this case the [Link] was received erroneous.
• An erroneous [Link] received shall not result in a retransmission of the related [Link] as
normally required by the DSRC protocol, but shall just lead to an increment of the frame error counter.
In case of a bit error performance measurement of the OBU receiver, the following additional configuration
requirements apply:
• An [Link] transmitted by the RSU and not responded by the OBU under test shall not result in a
retransmission of the related [Link] as normally required by the DSRC protocol, but shall just lead to
an increment of the frame error counter.
• An erroneous [Link] received shall not result in a retransmission of the related [Link] as
normally required by the DSRC protocol, but shall just be ignored, as in this case the [Link] was
received error free at the OBU under test.
B.4.3.3 Procedure
1) The RSU shall perform initialization with the OBU under test by exchanging BST and VST. The signal level
at the receiver input relevant for BER measurement shall be set to the level required for the test. The signal
level at the other receiver input shall be set at a reasonable high value as declared by the manufacturer such
that error free reception is very likely. In the unexpected case of transmission errors, the initialization attempt
shall be repeated. During initialization any additional interfering signals as requested by a specific test
procedure shall be switched off.
2) The RSU shall transmit a single ECHO command of maximum length. Reception of the corresponding
response from the OBU under test is expected to be error free. In case of errors, repetitions of the ECHO
command according to the DSRC protocol shall happen. This finalizes initialization.
In case of a bit error performance measurement of the RSU receiver, the following additional procedural steps shall be
processed:
3) Repeat step 2 CF times, CF see clause B.4.3.1, and report the total number CE of erroneous [Link]
frames received by the RSU. Calculate the actual Frame Error Ratio FER = CE / CF. Continue with step 5.
In case of a bit error performance measurement of the OBU receiver, the following additional procedural steps shall be
processed:
4) Repeat step 2 for CF times, CF see clause B.4.3.1, and report the total number CE of [Link] frames
not received by the RSU. Calculate the actual Frame Error Ratio FER = CE / CF.

The requirements of the present document should apply under the environmental profile for intended operation, either
normal or extreme environmental conditions, which are recommended to be selected by the manufacturer in accordance
with clause C.2 and clause C.3.
- relative humidity: 20 % to 75 %.
The extreme environmental conditions for tests should be any convenient selection of environmental parameter values,
except temperature, of a single category. For tests at extreme temperature, measurements should be made at both, the
