Radio Microphone Task Force ReportConvenor: Brian Copsey Presenter: Gabrielle Owen, TC ERM Chair Global Standards Collaboration (GSC) GSC-15
Radio microphone Task Force • The last year has been dominated by the issues raised within Europe by the reallocation of 790-862 MHz band, previously part of the television spectrum 470-862 MHz band to Mobile Fixed Communication Networks (MFCN). • This will result in large amounts of spectrum being lost for radio microphone use. Due both to MFCN’s and compacting of the TV channels below 790MHZ.
Other victims of MFCN’s; • Within Europe the 863-865 Mhz band is used by radio microphones and a range of cordless audio devices, these will also be badly impacted. • Annex A1 to this Report provides information on a limited number of immunity tests (see annex G). • Whilst not the subject of this Task Force many television delivery platforms will also be impacted. Results of various immunity testing by Administrations and Industry can be found at: http://docbox.etsi.org/Etsi_Cenelec/PUBLIC%20FOLDER%20on%20DD/
European Response • A Specialist Task Force was set up within ETSI to investigate Cognitive-PMSE (Program Making and Special Events). A separate document provides more detail on this topic. • Further to the work of the ETSI-CENELEC JWG consideration of appropriate immunity standards will take place.
Other Issues • The ETSI standard EN 300-422 covers both radio microphone’s and Assistive Listing Devices (ALD). • In recent years ALD’s have progressed from simple FM systems mainly used within schools to sophisticated ear to ear devices. ETSI are in the process of revising EN 300-422 with appropriate test methods for them. • Copies of the standard will appear in the Task Force docbox at: http://docbox.etsi.org/Workshop/GSC/GRSC_WP1_radio_mics/
Next Steps/Actions • Please consider renewing the radio microphone resolution • Would any members wishing further information or to be involved in the work please contact: • Brian Copsey. • BC@copsey-comms.com • Thank you for your attention
