11 Input intermodulation

25.1433GPPRelease 17TSUTRA repeater conformance testing

The input intermodulation is a measure of the capability of the Repeater to inhibit the generation of interference in the pass band, in the presence of interfering signals on frequencies other than the pass band.

11.1 Definition and applicability

Third and higher order mixing of the 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 Repeater to maintain the wanted frequency free of internally created interference.

The test requirements in Tables 11.2 may be applied for the protection of FDD Repeater input when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, E-UTRA FDD and/or UTRA FDD BS are co-located with a UTRA FDD Repeater.

The additional test requirements in Tables 11.2AA may be applied for the protection of FDD Repeater input when a UTRA TDD BS is co-located with a UTRA FDD Repeater.

This test applies to uplink and downlink path of the Repeater.

11.2 Minimum Requirements

NOTE 1: The co-location requirements in the table 11.2 do not apply when the repeaters pass band frequency range is adjacent to the frequency range of the co-location requirement in the table 11.2.

However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [2]

NOTE 2: 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.

NOTE 2: 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.

For the parameters specified in table 11.2A and table 11.2AAA, the power in the pass band shall not increase with more than 10 dB at the output of the repeater as measured in the centre of the pass band, compared to the level obtained without interfering signals applied.

11.3 Test purpose

The purpose of this test is to verify that the Repeater meets the intermodulation characteristics requirements as specified in TS 25.106, subclause 11.1.

11.4 Method of test

11.4.1 Initial conditions

1) Set-up the equipment as shown in annex A.

2) Set the Repeater to maximum gain.

3) Connect two signal generators with a combining circuit or one signal generator with the ability to generate several CW carriers to the input.

4) Connect a spectrum analyser to the output of the Repeater. Set the resolution bandwidth to 1 MHz in the centre of the pass band. Set averaging to 1 second or more.

11.4.2 Procedure

1) Adjust the frequency of the input signals, either below or above the pass band, so that the lowest order intermodulation product is positioned in the centre of the pass band, according to subclause 11.2.

2) Take the measurement of the rise of the output signal.

3) Repeat the measurement for the opposite path of the Repeater.

11.5 Test requirements

NOTE 1: The co-existence requirements in Table 11.4AAA do not apply when the repeaters pass band frequency range is adjacent to the frequency range of the co-location requirement in the Table 11.4AAA. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location with other system on adjacent frequencies for 30 dB Repeater-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [5]

NOTE 2: 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.

For the parameters specified in table 11.4A and table 11.4AAA, the power in the pass band shall not increase with more than 11,2 dB at the output of the repeater as measured in the centre of the pass band, compared to the level obtained without interfering signals applied.
