At present, the hottest topic of 5G NR communications is the application of EN-DC under 5G NR NSA. Although the CE mandatory standard has not been formally introduced, it is known from relevant information that the RF standard will be ETSI EN 301 908-25, and the complete EN-DC RF standard refers to 3GPP TS 38.521-1 & 3GPP TS 38.521-3.
RF test items are mainly used to test tramsmitter and receiver characteristics, such as Max Output power, Minimum Output power, Spectrum Emission Mask(SEM) and Adjacent channel power ratio (ACLR). These are typical emission test items.
Recently, BTL has been in a position to perform Sub-6G FR1 (SA/NSA) test.
The following two figures are an example of our testing ACLR with Keysight and Anritsu instruments respectively.
For continuous information about 5G NR test, please pay attention to BTL official account " BTL检测".

EU Releases Exemption Guidelines on Removability and Replaceability of Portable and LMT Batteries — Multiple Product Categories Relief Granted
On July 14, 2026, the European Commission published the "Commission Guidelines to Facilitate the Harmonised Application of Provisions on the Removability and Replaceability of Portable and Light Means of Transport (LMT) Batteries" (Commission Notice C(2026) 5032 final). These guidelines aim to provide a uniform interpretative framework for the implementation of Article 11 of the EU Battery Regulat
6G Developments: Past, Present and Future
The formulation of 6G standards has entered a more concrete phase. At the 3GPP RAN Plenary Meeting held in Singapore in June 2026, the industry made progress in multiple key research areas and finalized the timeline for Release 21, which is regarded as the first standard version expected to formally define 6G.
Overview of EN IEC 61000-4-29:2026
The key focus of the 2026 edition is to address new DC power distribution environments, especially higher-voltage DC systems. It also clarifies test generator capability, duration tolerance, current limitation during short interruptions, inrush current verification, result evaluation, and test report requirements. For products using 24 Vdc, 48 Vdc, 380 Vdc, 400 Vdc, 800 Vdc, or other DC input pow
