6.7 Transmit intermodulation
25.1023GPPRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception (TDD)
The transmit intermodulation performance is a measure of the capability of the transmitter to inhibit the generation of signals in its non linear elements caused by presence of the wanted signal and an interfering signal reaching the transmitter via the antenna.
6.7.1 Minimum requirement
User Equipment(s) transmitting in close vicinity of each other can produce intermodulation products, which can fall into the UE, or BS receive band as an unwanted interfering signal. The UE intermodulation attenuation is defined by the ratio of the RRC filtered mean power of the wanted signal to the RRC filtered mean power of the intermodulation product when an interfering CW signal is added at a level below the wanted signal.
6.7.1.1 3.84 Mcps TDD Option
The requirement of transmitting intermodulation for carrier spacing 5 MHz is prescribed in Table 6.8.

6.7.2 Additional requirement for 1.28Mcps TDD MC-HSUPA
The UE intermodulation attenuation is defined by the ratio of the sum of the RRC filtered mean powers of the wanted signal on the assigned N carriers to the sum of the RRC filtered mean powers of the intermodulation product on adjacent N carriers when an interfering CW signal is added at a level below the wanted signal. N is the number of carriers for multi-carrier transmission.
