9 Unwanted emission
25.1433GPPRelease 17TSUTRA repeater conformance testing
Unwanted emissions consist of out-of-band emissions and spurious emissions [4]. Out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the pass band bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter, but excluding spurious emissions. 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.
The out-of-band emissions requirement for repeater is specified both in terms operating band unwanted emissions and protection of the BS receiver in the operating band. The Operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted emissions in the repeater operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 MHz above and 10 MHz below that band. Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.

9.1.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
9.1.2.1 Definitions and applicability
Operating band unwanted emissions comprise an emission mask applied outside the repeater passband and a general requirement applied outside the mask but inside the frequency range of the operating band unwanted emissions.
The general operating band unwanted emissions limits are given in table 9.0.

The masks defined in Table 9.1, Table 9.2, Table 9.3, and Table 9.4 below may be mandatory in certain regions. In other regions this mask may not be applied.
9.1.2.2 Minimum Requirements
For regions where this clause applies, the requirement shall be met by a repeater’s RF-signal output at maximum gain with WCDMA signals in the pass band of the Repeater, at levels that produce the maximum rated output power per channel. In normal conditions as specified in section 5.4.1 emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in Table 9.1, Table 9.2, Table 9.3, and Table 9.4 for the appropriate Repeater maximum output power, in the frequency range from f = 2,5 MHz to f max from the 5 MHz channel, where:
– f is the separation between the centre frequency of first or last 5 MHz channel used in the pass band and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
– f_offset is the separation between the centre frequency of first or last 5 MHz channel in the pass band and the centre of the measuring filter.
– f_offsetmax is 12,5 MHz.
– f max is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measurement filter.
To select the table of the maximum level for the spectrum emission mask test, use the maximum output power as defined in subclause 3.1 Definition. If one channel is used for the spectrum emission mask test use this power for the selection. If two channels are used for the spectrum emission mask test use the power of one of these.

In certain regions the following requirement may apply for protection of DTT. For UTRA Repeater operating in Band XX, the level of emissions in the band 470-790 MHz, measured in an 8MHz filter bandwidth on centre frequencies Ffilter according to Table 9.4D, shall not exceed the maximum emission level PEM,N declared by the manufacturer.

NOTE: The regional requirement is defined in terms of EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), which is dependent on both the repeater emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the repeater needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement. Compliance with the regional requirement can be determined using the method outlined in TS 25.104 [1] Annex D.
In certain regions, the following requirements may apply to UTRA repeaters operating in Band XXXII within 1452-1492 MHz. The level of unwanted emissions, measured on centre frequencies f_offset with filter bandwidth, according to Table 9.4E shall neither exceed the maximum emission level PEM,B32,a , PEM,B32,b nor PEM,B32,c declared by the manufacturer.

NOTE: The regional requirement, included in [14], is defined in terms of EIRP per antenna, which is dependent on both the repeater emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the base station needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement. The assessment of the EIRP level is described in Annex H of TS36.104 [15].
In certain regions, the following requirement may apply to UTRA repeaters operating in Band XXXII within 1452-1492 MHz for the protection of services in spectrum adjacent to the frequency range 1452-1492 MHz. The level of emissions, measured on centre frequencies Ffilter with filter bandwidth according to Table 9.4F shall neither exceed the maximum emission level PEM,B32,d nor PEM,B32,e declared by the manufacturer. This requirement applies in the frequency range 1429-1518 MHz even though part of the range falls in the spurious domain.

Note for Tables 9.1, 9.2, 9.3, 9.4, 9.4A, 9.4B and 9.4C:
NOTE 1: This frequency range ensures that the range of values of f_offset is continuous.
NOTE 2 As a general rule, the resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth can be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.
9.1.2.3 Test purpose
The purpose of this test is to verify that the Repeater meet the spectrum emission requirements as specified in TS 25.106.
9.1.2.4 Method of test
9.1.2.4.1 Initial conditions
A measurement set‑up is shown in annex A
1) Connect a signal generator to the input port of the Repeater for tests of repeaters with a pass band corresponding to one 5 MHz channel. If the pass band corresponds to two or more 5 MHz carriers, two signal generators with a combining circuit or one signal generator with the ability to generate several WCDMA carriers is connected to the input. The signals shall be de-correlated as described in TS25.141 [11], clause 6.1.1.6.3 of equal power.
2) Measurements with an offset from the carrier centre frequency between 2,515 MHz and 4,0 MHz shall use a 30 kHz measurement bandwidth.
3) Measurements with an offset from the carrier centre frequency between 4,0 MHz and (fmax – 500 kHz) shall use a 1 MHz measurement bandwidth. The 1MHz measurement bandwidth may be calculated by integrating multiple 50 kHz or narrower filter measurements.
4) Detection mode: True RMS.
9.1.2.4.2 Procedures
1) Set the Repeater to maximum gain.
2) Set the signal generator(s) to generate signal(s) in accordance to test model 1, TS 25.141 subclause 6.2.1.1.1, at level(s) which produce the manufacturer specified maximum output power at maximum gain.
3) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
4) Increase the power with 10 dB compare to the level obtained in step 2.
5) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
6) If the pass band corresponds to more than two consecutive nominal 5 MHz channels, repeat step 2) to 5) with any combination of two WCDMA modulated signals of equal power in the repeaters pass band.
7) Switch of the signal generator.
8) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
9.1.2.5 Test requirements
The measurement result of step 3 and 5 of 9.1.4.2 shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 9.5 to 9.8 for the appropriate Repeater maximum output power.

9.2 Spurious emissions
9.2.1 Definition and applicability
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 Repeater output port.
The requirements of either subclause 9.2.2.1 or subclause 9.2.2.2 shall apply whatever the type of Repeater considered (one or several pass bands). It applies for all configurations foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification.
The spurious emission limits apply from 9 kHz to 12.75 GHz (or above, as indicated in Table 9.9 and 9.10), excluding the frequency range from 10 MHz below the lowest frequency of the repeaters operating band up to 10 MHz above the highest frequency of the repeaters operating band. Exceptions are the requirement in Table 9.17 and 9.21 that apply also closer than 10 MHz from repeaters operating band.
Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).
For repeaters capable of supporting both UTRA and E-UTRA, conformance to the UTRA spurious emission requirements can also be demonstrated using E-UTRA spurious emission test methods as described in TS 36.143 [13].
9.2.2 Minimum Requirements
In normal conditions as specified in section 5.4.1 the following requirements shall be met.
9.2.2.1 Spurious emission (Category A)
The following requirements shall be met in cases where Category A limits for spurious emissions, as defined in ITU-R Recommendation SM.329 [4], are applied.

NOTE 1: The co-location requirements do not apply for the 10 MHz frequency range immediately outside the repeater operating band (see Table 4.1). 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 UTRA Repeater-BS minimum coupling loss. 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. |

9.2.4.1 Initial conditions
A measurement set‑up is shown in annex A.
1) Connect a signal generator to the input port of the Repeater for tests of repeaters with apass band corresponding to one 5 MHz channel. If the pass band corresponds to two or more 5 MHz carriers, two signal generators with a combining circuit or one signal generator with the ability to generate several WCDMA carriers is connected to the input. The signals shall be de-correlated as described in TS25.141 [11], clause 6.1.1.6.3 of equal power.
2) Detection mode: True RMS.
9.2.4.2 Procedures
1) Set the Repeater to maximum gain.
2) Set the signal generator(s) to generate signal(s) in accordance to test model 1, TS 25.141 subclause 6.2.1.1.1, at level(s) which produce the manufacturer specified maximum output power at maximum gain.
3) The detecting device shall be configured with a measurement bandwidth as stated in the tables.
4) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
5) Increase the input power with 10 dB compare to the level obtained in step 2.
6) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
7) If the pass band corresponds to more than two consecutive nominal 5 MHz channels, repeat step 2) to 6) with any combination of two WCDMA modulated signals of equal power in the repeaters pass band.
8) Switch of the signal generator.
9) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value.
