Frequency Error
ETSI EN 300 220-1 V2.3.1 (2010-02), Sub-clause 7.1
The frequency error of the AX5043 is given by the frequency error of the frequency
source XTAL or TCXO.
ETSI EN 300 220-1 requirements are
+/- 100 ppm for 868 MHz wide band systems,
+/- 14.4 ppm for 868 MHz narrow band systems,
+/- 27 ppm for 433 MHz narrow band systems,
+/- 59 ppm for 169 MHZ narrow band systems.
Narrow band refers to channel widths smaller  25 kHz.
EN 13 757-4 2005 which applies for wireless M-Bus devices, requires stricter frequency
errors. 60 or 25 ppm for the center frequency.
Although this is achievable with normal crystals, we do recommend use of a TCXO for
optimal performance in narrow band systems.

Unwanted Emissions in Spurious Domains
EN 300 220-1 V2.3.1 (2010-02), Subclause 7.8
Unwanted emissions are shown for the most critical cases.
From 174 – 230 MHz and 470 – 862 MHz the ETSI limit is –54 dBm for an RBW of 100
kHz. These frequency ranges are both shown, especially as several harmonics of 169.4
MHz fall into these frequency ranges.
For all other frequencies from 174 MHz to 1 GHz the ETSI limit is –36 dBm for an RBW of
100 kHz. This limit is valid up to a distance of 2.5 times the channel bandwidth to the
carrier (adjacent and alternate channels are excepted). These frequency ranges are
shown if they contain significant harmonics or other spurs. A measurement close to the
carrier is also shown, as this is one of the most critical areas.
Above 1 GHz the ETSI limit is –30 dBm for an RBW of 1 MHz. No plot of this area is
shown, as all spurs are far away from the limit.

Unwanted Emissions in Spurious Domains
EN 300 220-1 V2.3.1 (2010-02), Subclause 7.8
Unwanted emissions are shown for the most critical cases.
From 470 – 862 MHz the ETSI limit is –54 dBm for an RBW of 100 kHz. From 862 MHz to
1 GHz the ETSI limit is –36 dBm for an RBW of 100 kHz.
Above 1 GHz the ETSI limit is –30 dBm for an RBW of 1 MHz. Here the harmonics of the
wanted signal are most critical.
470 – 862 MHZ
Spurious emission in this frequency range is below the ETSI limit of –54 dBm. The
highest spur is at –62 dBm.

Unwanted emissions are only shown in the following for the most critical area, which is
close to the 434.415 MHz carrier frequency. The other spurious emission measurements
are not significantly different from the 433 MHz wide-band case.

adjacent channel (center of measurement is at 112.5 kHz from the carrier). These are
measurements “ALT2 Up” and “ALT2 Low”. Please note that the other channel power
measurements plotted are irrelevant in an ETSI context. The ETSI limits are –36 dBm.
The measurement for AX5043 is below –37 dBm.
