Analogue Radio Broadcasting

ETSI’s work in analogue radio broadcasting includes system standards (and associated codes of practice) and standards for radio transmitters.  Standards for radio receivers are published by CENELEC.

Transmitting equipment

ETSI has developed Harmonized Standards enabling analogue radio broadcasting transmitters to be placed on the market under the R&TTE Directive.

bullet Electromagnetic compatibility (article 3.1b of the Directive): 

  •  EN 301 489-1 (05/09/2005) covers EMC requirements for general radio equipment (This standard is currently under revision) 
  •  EN 301 489-14 (09/05/2003) covers specific EMC requirements for both AM and FM broadcast transmitters (This standard is currently under revision). 

bullet Avoidance of harmful interference to radio services (article 3.2 of the Directive): 

  •  EN 302 017 (05/09/2005) covers requirements for Amplitude Modulated (AM) radio broadcast transmitters. 
  •  EN 302 018 (01/03/2006)covers requirements for Frequency Modulated (FM) radio broadcast equipments.

Standards for safety are available from CENELEC, with input from ETSI.
