7.8 Receiver intermodulation
36.1413GPPBase Station (BS) conformance testingEvolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA)Release 17TS
7.8.1 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 receiver to receive a wanted signal on its assigned channel frequency in the presence of two interfering signals which have a specific frequency relationship to the wanted signal. Interfering signals shall be a CW signal and an E-UTRA signal as specified in Annex C.
Unless otherwise stated, a BS declared to be capable of E-UTRA with NB-IoT in-band and guard band operations is only required to pass the receiver intermodulation tests for E-UTRA with guard band operation; it is not required to perform the receiver intermodulation tests again for E-UTRA with in-band operation.
7.8.2 Minimum Requirement
The minimum requirement is in TS 36.104 [2] subclause 7.8.1.
7.8.3 Test purpose
The test purpose is to verify the ability of the BS receiver to inhibit the generation of intermodulation products in its non-linear elements caused by the presence of two high-level interfering signals at frequencies with a specific relationship to the frequency of the wanted signal.
7.8.4 Method of test

The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap. The requirement applies separately for both sub-blocks.
For a BS capable of multi-band operation, the intermodulation requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least twice as wide as the E-UTRA interfering signal centre frequency offset from the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge.
For a BS capable of multi-band operation, the narrowband intermodulation requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap in case the gap size is at least as wide as the E-UTRA interfering signal in Tables 7.8-3, 7.8-4 and 7.8-6.

Note*: PREFSENS depends on the sub-carrier spacing as specified in TS 36.104 [2] subclause 7.2.1. Note**: Interfering signal consisting of one resource block positioned at the stated offset, the channel bandwidth of the interfering signal is located adjacently to the lower/upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edge. Note***: This requirement shall apply only for a FRC A1-3 mapped to the frequency range at the channel edge adjacent to the interfering signals. Note****: The frequency offset shall be adjusted to accommodate the IMD product to fall in the NB-IoT RB for NB-IoT guard band operation. Note*****: If a BS RF receiver fails the test of the requirement, the test shall be performed with the CW interfering signal frequency shifted away from the wanted signal by 180 kHz and the E-UTRA interfering signal frequency shifted away from the wanted signal by 360 kHz. If the BS RF receiver still fails the test after the frequency shift, then the BS RF receiver shall be deemed to fail the requirement. |
