ETS 300 441: February 1996 Foreword This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Radio Equipment and Systems (RES) Technical Committee of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI). Transposition dates Date of adoption of this ETS: 23 February 1996...
Page 9
Page 9 ETS 300 441: February 1996 Scope This ETS states the minimum requirements for maritime radiotelephone watch receivers, including power supply units or converters, intended for keeping watch on the international distress and calling frequency 2 182 kHz. This ETS is intended to cover equipment installed below deck in accordance with the requirement of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) [2].

Page 13 ETS 300 441: February 1996 5.3.2 Normal test power source 5.3.2.1 Mains voltage and frequency The normal test voltage for equipment to be connected to the ac mains shall be the nominal ac mains voltage. For the purpose of conformance testing, the nominal voltage shall be the declared voltage or any of the declared voltages for which the equipment is designed.
Page 14
Page 14 ETS 300 441: February 1996 The temperature of the chamber shall be maintained at the extreme temperatures for the whole duration of the performance test. At the end of the test, with the equipment still in the chamber, the chamber shall be brought to normal temperature in not less than one hour.
Page 15
Page 15 ETS 300 441: February 1996 Environmental tests Introduction The equipment shall be capable of continuous operation under the conditions of various sea states, vibration, humidity and change of temperature likely to be experienced in a ship in which it is installed.
Page 16
Page 16 ETS 300 441: February 1996 6.4.2 Requirement The limit of the performance check shall be met. There shall be no harmful deterioration of the equipment visible to the naked eye. Damp heat test 6.5.1 General The maximum rate of raising or reducing the temperature of the chamber in which the equipment is being tested shall be 10°C/min.

Page 17 ETS 300 441: February 1996 Maximum usable sensitivity 7.2.1 Definition The maximum usable sensitivity is the minimum level of a radio frequency signal with specified modulation, which produces at the receiver output a chosen value of the signal-noise-distortion to noise (SND/N) ratio and, at the same time, an output power at least equal to a specified value.
Page 18
Page 18 ETS 300 441: February 1996 An unwanted A2A signal at a frequency shown in table 2, modulated to a depth of 30 % at 400 Hz, shall additionally be applied to the receiver input. Starting from a low level, this signal shall be increased until the SND/N ratio is decreased from 20 dB to 14 dB.
Page 19
Page 19 ETS 300 441: February 1996 7.6.2 Method of measurement The test shall be carried out with the automatic gain control operative. The measurement shall be made by means of the simultaneous application of two test signals to the input of the receiver. One of the test signals is the wanted signal to which the receiver is tuned and the other is the unwanted signal.

Page 20 ETS 300 441: February 1996 7.8.2 Method of measurement An A2A test signal at the carrier frequency 2 182 kHz, modulated to a depth of 30 % at 1 kHz shall be applied to the receiver input at a level such that a SND/N ratio of 10 dB is produced.
Page 21 ETS 300 441: February 1996 NOTE: The receiver should be designed to prevent excessive noise at the receiver output in the absence of input signals. 7.11.1 Methods of measurement to test the AGC at low input signal levels, an A2A test signal at the carrier frequency 2 182 kHz modulated to a depth of 30 % at 1 kHz, shall be applied to the receiver input.
Page 22 ETS 300 441: February 1996 Muting device General The equipment may be provided with a muting device to silence the loudspeaker until one of the following signals is received: the radiotelephone alarm signal (subclause 8.2.2); the signal preceding a vital navigation warning (subclause 8.2.3);...
Page 23 ETS 300 441: February 1996 250 ms ± 50 ms. modulation off: 8.2.4 Response to the 1 300 Hz EPIRB signal An A2A test signal at the carrier frequency 2 182 kHz modulated to a depth of 30 % at 1 300 Hz and having a pulse sequence of one second signal followed by one second no signal shall be applied to the receiver input.
Page 24 ETS 300 441: February 1996 modulation off: 250 ms; modulation off: 175 ms or less; 325 ms or greater; modulation on: 250 ms. 8.3.2 Limits The output power due to modulation shall not exceed 30 dB below the standard output power.
