7 Receiver characteristics
25.1423GPPBase Station (BS) conformance testing (TDD)Release 17TS
7.1 General
The requirements in clause 7 are expressed for a single receiver antenna connector. For receivers with antenna diversity, the requirements apply for each receiver antenna connector.
For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency used and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency used.
A BS supporting 1.28Mcps MC-HSUPA receives mutilple carriers simultaneously on adjacent carrier frequencies.
All tests unless otherwise stated in this subclause shall be conducted on Base Station Systems fitted with a full complement of Transceivers for the configuration. The manufacturer shall provide appropriate logical or physical test access to perform all tests in this subclause. Measurements shall include any RX multicoupler.
In all the relevant subclauses in this clause all Bit Error Ratio (BER), Residual BER (RBER) and Frame Erasure Ratio (FER) measurements shall be carried out according to the general rules for statistical testing defined in ITU-T Recommendation O.153 [10] and Annex F.
The BER requirements defined for the receiver characteristics in this clause do not assume HARQ transmissions.
When the BS is configured to receive multiple carriers, all the BER requirements are applicable for each received carrier.
Unless otherwise stated, all tests in this clause shall be performed at the BS antenna connector (test port A).If any external apparatus such as a RX amplifier, a filter or the combination of such devices is used, the tests according to subclauses 5.14.4 shall be performed to ensure that the requirements are met at test port B.

NOTE 2: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD with UTRA FDD or E-UTRA FDD 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]. |

The static reference performance as specified in clause 7.2 shall be met with a wanted and an interfering signal coupled to the BS antenna input using the parameters specified in tables 7.6A-1, 7.7A-1,7.8A-1, 7.9A-1, 7.6A-2, 7.7A-2, 7.8A-2 or 7.9A-2, respectively.
The blocking requirement is always applicable outside the Base Station RF bandwidth or maximum radio bandwidth edges. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the lower (upper) or maximum radio bandwidth edges.
For BS capable of multi-band operation, the requirement in the in-band blocking frequency range applies for each supported operating band. The requirements applies in addition inside any inter RF bandwidth gap as long as the inter RF bandwidth gap size is at least 4.8MHz. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the lower/upper RF bandwidth edges inside the inter RF bandwidth gap and is equal to -2.4MHz/+2.4MHz, respectively.
For BS capable of multi-band operation, the requirement in the out-of-band blocking frequency ranges apply for each supported operating band, with the exception that the in-band blocking frequency ranges of all supported operating bands shall be excluded from the out-of-band blocking requirement.

NOTE 1: These requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within any of the supported uplink operating band or in the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the any of the supported uplink operating band. NOTE 2: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD with UTRA FDD or E-UTRA FDD 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]. |

7.5.4 Method of test
7.5.4.1 Initial conditions
Test environment: normal; see subclause 5.9.1.
RF channels to be tested for single carrier: M; see subclause 5.3. The BS shall be configured to operate as close to the centre of the operating band as possible.
RF bandwidth positions to be tested for multi-carrier: MRFBW in single band operaiton, see subclause 5.3; BRFBW_T’RFBW and B’RFBW_TRFBW in multi-band operation, see subclause 5.3;
In addition, in multi-band operation:
– For BRFBW_T’RFBW, out-of-band blocking testing above the highest operating band may be omitted.
– For B’RFBW_TRFBW, out-of-band blocking testing below the lowest operating band may be omitted.
(1) Connect an UE simulator operating at the assigned channel frequency of the wanted signal and a signal generator to the antenna connector of one Rx port.
(2) Terminate or disable any other Rx port not under test.
(3) Start transmission from the BS tester to the BS using the UL reference measurement channel (12,2 kbps) defined in Annex A.2.1. For a BS supporting multi-carrier operation, generate the wanted signal according to the applicable test configuration (see subclause 5.20 and 5.21) using the UL reference measurement channel in Annex A.2.1on all carriers for the BS under test. The level of the UE simulator signal measured at the BS antenna connector shall be set according to subclause 7.5.2.2.
7.5.4.2 Procedure
7.5.4.2.1 3,84 Mcps TDD option
(1) Set the signal generator to produce an interfering signal at a frequency offset Fuw from the assigned channel frequency of the wanted signal which is given by
Fuw = ± (n x 1 MHz),
where n shall be increased in integer steps from n = 10 up to such a value that the center frequency of the interfering signal covers the range from 1 MHz to 12,75 GHz. The interfering signal level measured at the antenna connector shall be set in dependency of its center frequency, as specified in tables 7.6 to 7.10. The type of the interfering signal is either equivalent to a continuous wideband CDMA signal with one code of chip frequency 3,84 Mchip/s, filtered by an RRC transmit pulse-shaping filter with roll-off α = 0,22, or a CW signal; see tables 7.6 to 7.10.
(2) Measure the BER of the wanted signal at the BS receiver.
(3) Interchange the connections of the BS Rx ports and repeat the measurements according to steps (1) and (2).
7.5.4.2.2 1,28 Mcps TDD option
(1) Set the signal generator to produce an interfering signal at a frequency offset Fuw from the assigned channel frequency of the wanted signal which is given by
Fuw=±3,2 +/- n) x 1 MHz
where n shall be increased in integer steps from n = 0 up to such a value that the center frequency of the interfering signal covers the range from 1 MHz to 12,75 GHz. The interfering signal level measured at the antenna connector shall be set in dependency of its center frequency, as specified in tables 7.6A to 7.10A. The type of the interfering signal is either equivalent to a continuous wideband CDMA signal with one code of chip frequency 1,28 Mchip/s, filtered by an RRC transmit pulse-shaping filter with roll-off α = 0,22, or a CW signal; see tables 7.6A to 7.10A.
(2) Measure the BER of the wanted signal at the BS receiver.
(3) Interchange the connections of the BS Rx ports and repeat the measurements according to steps (1) and (2).
In addition, for a multi-band capable BS with separate antenna connectors, the following steps shall apply:
(4) For single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band with no carrier activated in the other band.
(5) The interfering signal shall first be applied on the same port as the wanted signal. The test shall be repeated with the interfering signal applied on the other port (if any) mapped to the same receiver as the wanted signal. Any antenna connector with no signal applied in case of single-band or multi-band test shall be terminated.
(6) Repeat step (5) with the wanted signal for the other band(s) applied on the respective port(s).
7.5.4.2.3 7,68 Mcps TDD option
(1) Set the signal generator to produce an interfering signal at a frequency offset Fuw from the assigned channel frequency of the wanted signal which is given by
Fuw = ± (n x 1 MHz),
where n shall be increased in integer steps from n = 20 up to such a value that the center frequency of the interfering signal covers the range from 1 MHz to 12,75 GHz. The interfering signal level measured at the antenna connector shall be set in dependency of its center frequency, as specified in tables 7.6B to 7.10F. The type of the interfering signal is either equivalent to a continuous wideband CDMA signal with one code of chip frequency 7,68 Mchip/s, filtered by an RRC transmit pulse-shaping filter with roll-off α = 0,22, or a CW signal; see subclause tables 7.6B to 7.10F.
(2) Measure the BER of the wanted signal at the BS receiver.
(3) Interchange the connections of the BS Rx ports and repeat the measurements according to steps (1) and (2).
7.5.5 Test Requirements
NOTE 1: 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.
In all measurements made according to subclause 7.5.4.2, the BER shall not exceed 0,001.
NOTE 2: Annex F describes the procedure for BER tests taking into account the statistical consequence of frequent repetition of BER measurements within the blocking test . The consequence is: a DUT exactly on the limit may fail due to the statistical nature 2.55 times(mean value) in 12750 BER measurements using the predefined wrong decision probability of 0.02%. If the fail cases are ≤12, it is allowed to repeat the fail cases 1 time before the final verdict.
7.6 Intermodulation characteristics
7.6.1 Definition and applicability
Third and higher order mixing of two interfering RF signals can produce an interfering signal in the band of the desired channel. Intermodulation response rejection is a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency in the presence of two or more interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal.
7.6.2 Minimum Requirements
7.6.2.1 3,84 Mcps TDD option
