6.6.1 Occupied bandwidth
6.6.1.1 Definition and applicability
Occupied bandwidth is a measure of the bandwidth containing 99% of the total integrated power for transmitted spectrum and is centered on the assigned channel frequency.
6.6.1.2 Minimum Requirements
6.6.1.2.1 3,84 Mcps TDD option
The occupied bandwidth shall be less than 5 MHz based on a chip rate of 3,84 Mcps.
The normative reference for this requirement is TS 25.105 [1] subclause 6.6.1.1.
6.6.1.2.2 1,28 Mcps TDD option
The occupied bandwidth shall be less than 1,6 MHz based on a chip rate of 1,28 Mcps.
The reference for this requirement is TS 25.105 [1] subclause 6.6.1.2.
6.6.1.2.3 7,68 Mcps TDD option
The occupied bandwidth shall be less than 10 MHz based on a chip rate of 7,68 Mcps.
The reference for this requirement is TS 25.105 [1] subclause 6.6.1.3.
6.6.1.3 Test purpose
The occupied bandwidth, defined in the Radio Regulations of the International Telecommunication Union ITU, is a useful concept for specifying the spectral properties of a given emission in the simplest possible manner; see also Recommendation ITU-R SM.328 [7]. The test purpose is to verify that the emission of the BS does not occupy an excessive bandwidth for the service to be provided and is, therefore, not likely to create interference to other users of the spectrum beyond undue limits.

(2) Determine the total output power by accumulating the recorded power measurement results of all steps.
(3) Sum up the recorded power measurement results, starting from the step at the minimum frequency defined in (1) up to the step at a lower limit frequency by which this sum is equal to or greater than 0.5 % of the total output power determined in (2).

The normative reference for this requirement is TS 25.105 [1] subclause 6.6.2.1.1
6.6.2.1.2.2 1,28 Mcps TDD option
For regions where this subclause applies, the requirement shall be met by a base station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the manufacturer’s specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 6.13A to 16A in the frequency range of f_offset from 0.815 MHz to f_offsetmax from the carrier frequency, where:
– Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
– f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter
– f_offsetmax is either 4 MHz or the offset to the operating band edge, whichever is the greater.
– Δf max is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the mesurement filter.
For BS operating in multiple bands, inside any inter RF bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 8 MHz, emissions shall not exceed the cumulative sum of the minimum requirements specified at the RF bandwidth edges on each side of the inter RF bandwidth gap. The minimum requirement for RF bandwidth edge is specified in Tables 6.13A to 6.16A below, where in this case.
– Δf equal to 0.8MHz plus the separation between the RF bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring filter closest to the RF bandwidth edge.
– f_offset is equal to 0.8MHz plus the separation between the RF bandwith edge frequency and the center frequency of the measuring filter.
– f_offsetmax is either 4 MHz or the offset to the supported operating band edge as defined, whichever is the greater.
– Δf max is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the mesurement filter.
For a multi-carrier BS, the definitions above apply to the lower edge of the carrier transmitted at the lowest carrier frequency and the upper edge of the carrier transmitted at the highest carrier frequency within a specified frequency band.

6.6.2.1.3 Test purpose
The test purpose is to verify that the BS out of band emissions do not result in undue interference to any other system (wideband, narrowband) operating at frequencies close to the assigned channel bandwidth of the wanted signal.
This test is independent of the characteristics of possible victim systems and, therefore, complements the tests on occupied bandwidth in 6.6.1 (verifying the spectral concentration of the BS Tx emissions) and on ACLR in 6.6.2.2 (simulating the perception of other UTRA receivers).

6.6.2.1.4.2 Procedure
6.6.2.1.4.2.1 3,84 Mcps TDD option
Measure the power of the BS spectrum emissions by applying measurement filters with bandwidths as specified in the relevant table in subclause 6.6.2.1.2.1. The characteristic of the filters shall be approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyzer filters). The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps over the ranges of frequency offsets f_offset as given in the tables. The step width shall be equal to the respective measurement bandwidth. The time duration of each step shall be sufficiently long to capture one active time slot.
For frequency offsets of the measurement filter centre frequency in the range 4,0 MHz ≤ f_offset < f_offsetmax, the measurement shall be performed by applying filters with measurement bandwidth of 50 kHz or less and integrating the measured results over the nominal measurement bandwidth 1 MHz specified in the tables in subclause 6.6.2.1.2.1.
6.6.2.1.4.2.2 1,28 Mcps TDD option
1) Measure the power of the BS spectrum emissions by applying measurement filters with bandwidths as specified in the relevant table in subclause 6.6.2.1.2.2. The characteristic of the filters shall be approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyzer filters). The centre frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps over the ranges of frequency offsets f_offset as given in the tables. The step width shall be equal to the respective measurement bandwidth. The time duration of each step shall be sufficiently long to capture one active time slot.
2) The measurement shall be performed by applying filters with measurement bandwidth of 50 kHz or less and integrating the measured results over the nominal measurement bandwidth 1 MHz specified in the tables in subclause 6.6.2.1.2.2 when the measurement bandwidth is 1MHz.
In addition, for a multi-band capable BS, the following steps shall apply:
3) For multi-band capable BS and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band with no carrier activated in the other band.
4) For multi-band capable BS with separate antenna connector, the antenna connector not being under test in case of single-band or multi-band test shall be terminated.

Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions. This is measured at the base station antenna connector.
The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered (single carrier or multiple carrier). It applies for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification.
For 3,84 Mcps TDD option, either requirement (except 6.6.3.2.6) applies at frequencies within the specified frequency ranges which are more than 12,5 MHz under the first carrier frequency used or more than 12,5 MHz above the last carrier frequency used.
For 1,28 Mcps TDD option, the mandatory spurious emission requirement applies from 9kHz to 12.75GHz, excluding the frequency ranges from 4 MHz below the lowest frequency of each supported operating band to4 MHz above the highest frequency of each operating band. For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on the same antenna connector, this exclusion applies for each supported operating bands. For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on separate antenna connectors, the sinlge-band requirements apply and the multi-band exclusions and provisions are not applicable.
For 7.68 Mcps TDD option, either requirement (except 6.6.3.2.6) applies at frequencies within the specified frequency ranges which are more than 25 MHz under the first carrier frequency used or more than 25 MHz above the last carrier frequency used.

NOTE 1: The co-existence requirements do not apply for the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the operating band (see section 4.2). Emission limits for this excluded frequency range may be covered by local or regional requirements. NOTE 2: The requirements for Wide Area BS for co-existence with UTRA FDD and/or E-UTRA FDD and for co-existence between unsynchronised TDD base stations are based on a coupling loss of 67dB between the TDD and FDD base stations. The scenarios leading to these requirements are addressed in TR 25.942 [9]. NOTE 3: The table above assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area.

NOTE 1: The co-location requirements do not apply for the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the BS transmit frequency range of the operating band (see section 4.2). The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location with other system on adjacent frequencies for 30dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [9]. NOTE 2: The requirements in Table 6.17 are based on a minimum coupling loss of 30 dB between base stations. The co-location of different base station classes is not considered. NOTE 3: The table above assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area. For such a case of operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same geographical area, special co-existence requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications. |

6.6.3.4.2 Procedure
1) Measure the power of the spurious emissions by applying measurement filters with bandwidths as specified in the relevant tables of subclause 6.6.3.2. The characteristics of the measurement filter with the bandwidth 1,28 MHz or 3,84MHz shall be RRC with roll-off α = 0,22. The characteristics of the measurement filters with bandwidths 100 kHz and 1 MHz shall be approximately Gaussian (typical spectrum analyzer filter). The center frequency of the filter shall be stepped in contiguous steps over the frequency bands as given in the tables. The step width shall be equal to the respective measurement bandwidth. The time duration of each step shall be sufficiently long to capture one active time slot.
In addition, for a multi-band capable BS, the following steps shall apply:
2) For multi-band capable BS and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band with no carrier activated in the other band.
3) For multi-band capable BS with separate antenna connector, the antenna connector not being under test in case of single-band or multi-band test shall be terminated.
6.6.3.5 Test Requirements
NOTE: If the Test Requirement below differs from the Minimum Requirement, then the Test Tolerance applied for this test is non-zero. The Test Tolerance for this test is defined in subclause 5.11 and the explanation of how the Minimum Requirement has been relaxed by the Test Tolerance is given in Annex D.
The spurious emissions measured according to subclause 6.6.3.4.2 shall not exceed the limits specified in the relevant tables of 6.6.3.2.
For 3,84 Mcps TDD BS supporting 16QAM, the measured spurious emissions shall not exceed the limits specified for 3,84 Mcps TDD option in section 6.6.3.2.
For 1,28 Mcps TDD BS supporting 16QAM, the measured spurious emissions shall not exceed the limits specified for 1,28 Mcps TDD option in section 6.6.3.2.
For 7,68 Mcps TDD BS supporting 16QAM, the measured spurious emissions shall not exceed the limits specified for 7,68 Mcps TDD option in section 6.6.3.2.
