7.3 Dynamic range
36.1413GPPBase Station (BS) conformance testingEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Release 17TS
7.3.1 Definition and applicability
The dynamic range is specified as a measure of the capability of the receiver to receive a wanted signal in the presence of an interfering signal inside the received channel bandwidth. In this condition a throughput requirement shall be met for a specified reference measurement channel. The interfering signal for the dynamic range requirement is an AWGN signal.
7.3.2 Minimum Requirement
The minimum requirement is in TS 36.104 [2] subclause 7.3.1.
7.3.3 Test purpose
To verify that at the BS receiver dynamic range, the relative throughput shall fulfil the specified limit.
7.3.4 Method of testing
7.3.4.1 Initial conditions
Test environment: normal; see subclause D.2
RF channels to be tested for single carrier: B, M and T; see subclause 4.7
1) Connect the test equipment as shown in Annex I.2.2.
7.3.4.2 Procedure
For E-UTRA and E-UTRA with NB-IoT in-band or guard band operation:
For each supported E-UTRA channel BW:
1) Adjust the signal generator for the wanted signal as specified in Table 7.3-1 for E-UTRA Wide Area BS, in Table7.3-2 for E-UTRA Local Area BS, in Table 7.3-3 for E-UTRA Home BS and in table 7.3-4 for E-UTRA Medium Range BS.
For a BS declared to be capable of NB-IoT in-band or guard band operation for the tested E-UTRA channel BW, adjust the signal generator for the wanted signal in Table 7.3-6 for Wide Area BS.
2) Adjust the AWGN generator level as specified in Table 7.3-1 for E-UTRA Wide Area BS, in Table7.3-2 for E-UTRA Local Area BS, in Table 7.3-3 for E-UTRA Home BS, in table 7.3-4 for E-UTRA Medium Range BS, in tables 7.3-5 and 7.3-6 for NB-IoT Wide Area BS, in tables 7.3-7 and 7.3-8 for NB-IoT Local Area BS, in tables 7.3-9 and 7.3-10 for NB-IoT Home BS, in tables 7.3-11 and 7.3-12 for NB-IoT Medium Range BS and set the frequency to the same frequency as the tested channel.
3) Measure the E-UTRA throughput according to Annex E and verify that it is within the specified level.
4) Repeat the measurement for the other RX port(s).
For a BS declared to be capable of NB-IoT in-band or guard band operation for the tested E-UTRA channel BW, measure the NB-IoT throughput according to Annex E and verify that it is within the specified level.
In addition, for a multi-band capable BS, the following step shall apply:
5) For multi-band capable BS and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band with no carrier activated in the other band. For multi-band capable BS with separate antenna connector, the antenna connector not being under test shall be terminated.
For NB-IoT standalone BS:
1) Adjust the signal generator for the wanted signal as specified in Table 7.3-5.
2) Adjust the AWGN generator level as specified in Table 7.3-5 and set the frequency to the same frequency as the tested channel.
3) Measure the NB-IoT throughput according to Annex E and verify that it is within the specified level.
4) Repeat the measurement for the other RX port(s).
7.3.5 Test Requirements
For each measured E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel as specified in Annex A with parameters specified in Table 7.3-1 for Wide Area BS, in Table7.3-2 for Local Area BS, in Table 7.3-3 for Home BS and in Table 7.3-4 for Medium Range BS.
