6.3.2E.4 Test description

6.3.2E.4.1 Initial conditions

Same initial conditions as in clause 6.3.2.4.1 with following exceptions:

– Instead of Table 6.3.2.4.1-1 🡪 use Table 6.3.2E.4.1-1.

– Connect SS to the UE antenna connectors as shown in TS 36.508 [7] Annex A Figure A.3 using only main UE Tx/Rx antenna.

Same test procedure as in clause 6.3.2.4.2 with the following exception for HD-FDD:

– In step 3, slots with transient periods are not under test. Half-duplex guard subframes are not under test.

6.3.2E.4.3 Message contents

Message contents are according to TS 36.508 [7] subclause 4.6.

6.3.2E.5 Test requirement

The minimum output power measured shall not exceed the values specified in Table 6.3.2E.5-1.

Table 6.3.2E.5-1: Minimum output power

	Channel bandwidth / minimum output power / measurement bandwidth
	1.4 MHz	3.0 MHz	5 MHz	10 MHz	15 MHz	20 MHz
Minimum output power	For carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0GHz: ≤ -39 dBm For carrier frequency 3.0GHz < f ≤ 4.2GHz: ≤ -38.7 dBm
Measurement bandwidth (Note 1)	1.08 MHz	2.7 MHz	4.5 MHz	9.0 MHz	13.5 MHz	18 MHz
Note 1: Different implementations such as FFT or spectrum analyzer approach are allowed. For spectrum analyzer approach the measurement bandwidth is defined as an equivalent noise bandwidth.
