6.6.2 Operating band unwanted emissions

37.1043GPPMulti-Standard Radio (MSR) Base Station (BS) radio transmission and receptionNR, E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGERelease 17TS

Unless otherwise stated, the Operating band unwanted emission limits are defined from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band to the lower Base Station RF Bandwidth edge located at FBW RF,low and from the upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edge located at FBW RF,high up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band. The values of ΔfOBUE are defined in table 6.6-1.The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification, except for any operating band with GSM/EDGE single RAT operation. The requirements in TS 45.005 [5] as defined in subclause 6.6.2.3 apply to an MSR Base Station for any operating band with GSM/EDGE single RAT operation in Band Category 2.

For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on separate antenna connectors, the single-band requirements apply and the cumulative evaluation of the emission limit in the Inter-RF Bandwidth gap are not applicable.

6.6.2.1 General minimum requirement for Band Categories 1 and 3

For a Wide Area BS operating in Band Category 1 or Band Category 3 the requirement applies outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges. In addition, for a Wide Area BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, it applies inside any sub-block gap. In addition, for a Wide Area BS operating in multiple bands, the requirements apply inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For a Medium Range BS operating in Band Category 1 the requirement applies outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges. In addition, for a Medium Range BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, it applies inside any sub-block gap. In addition, for a Medium Range BS operating in multiple bands, the requirements apply inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For a Local Area BS operating in Band Category 1 the requirement applies outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges. In addition, for a Local Area BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, it applies inside any sub-block gap. In addition, for a Local Area BS operating in multiple bands, the requirements apply inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

Outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges, emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in Tables 6.6.2.1-1 to 6.6.2.1-4 below, where:

– Δf is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.

– f_offset is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE outside the downlink operating band.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a BS operating in multiple bands, inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 2*ΔfOBUE, emissions shall not exceed the cumulative sum of the minimum requirements specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter-RF Bandwidth gap. The minimum requirement for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in Table 6.6.2.1-1 to 6.6.2.1-4 below, where in this case:

– Δf is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.

– f_offset is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is equal to the inter Base Station RF Bandwidth gap minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on the same antenna connector, the operating band unwanted emission limits apply also in a supported operating band without any carriers transmitted, in the case where there are carriers transmitted in other operating band(s). In this case where there is no carrier transmitted in an operating band, the operating band unwanted emission limit, as defined in the tables of the present subclause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), of a band where there is no carrier transmitted shall apply from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted. And no cumulative limits are applied in the inter-band gap between a supported downlink band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink band without any carrier transmitted.

Inside any sub-block gap for a BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, emissions shall not exceed the cumulative sum of the minimum requirements specified for the adjacent sub blocks on each side of the sub block gap. The minimum requirement for each sub block is specified in Tables 6.6.2.1-1 to 6.6.2.1-4 below, where in this case:

– Δf is the separation between the sub block edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the sub block edge.

– f_offset is the separation between the sub block edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is equal to the sub block gap bandwidth minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For Band 41 NR operation in Japan, the operating band unwanted emissions limits shall be applied to the sum of the emission power over all antenna connectors.

Applicability of Wide Area operating band unwanted emission requirements in Tables 6.6.2.1-1, 6.6.2.1-1b and 6.6.2.1-1c is specified in Table 6.6.2.1-0.

Note: Option 1 and Option 2 correspond to the Category B option 1/2 operating band unwanted emissions defined in the E-UTRA and NR specifications TS 36.104 [4] and TS 38.104 [17]. Option 2 also corresponds to the UTRA spectrum emission mask as defined in TS 25.104 [2].

6.6.2.2 General minimum requirement for Band Category 2

For a BS operating in Band Category 2 the requirement applies outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges. In addition, for a BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, it applies inside any sub-block gap.

Outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges, emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in Tables 6.6.2.2-1 to 6.6.2.2-8 below, where:

– Δf is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.

– f_offset is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE outside the downlink operating band.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a BS operating in multiple bands, inside any Inter-RF Bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 2*ΔfOBUE, emissions shall not exceed the cumulative sum of the minimum requirements specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter-RF Bandwidth gap. The minimum requirement for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in Table 6.6.2.2-1 to 6.6.2.2-8 below, where in this case:

– Δf is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.

– f_offset is the separation between the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is equal to the Inter RF Bandwidth gap minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on the same antenna connector and where there is no carrier transmitted in an operating band, the operating band unwanted emission limit, as defined in the tables of the present subclause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), of a band where there is no carrier transmitted shall apply from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted. And no cumulative limits are applied in the inter-band gap between a supported downlink band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink band without any carrier transmitted.

Inside any sub-block gap for a BS operating in non-contiguous spectrum, emissions shall not exceed the cumulative sum of the minimum requirement specified for the adjacent sub blocks on each side of the sub block gap. The minimum requirement for each sub block is specified in Tables 6.6.2.2-1 to 6.6.2.2-8 below, where in this case:

– Δf is the separation between the sub block edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the sub block edge.

– f_offset is the separation between the sub block edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.

– f_offsetmax is equal to the sub block gap bandwidth minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

Applicability of Wide Area operating band unwanted emission requirements in Tables 6.6.2.2-1, 6.6.2.2-2a and 6.6.2.2-2b is specified in Table 6.6.2.2-0.

Note: Option 1 and option 2 correspond to the Category B option 1/2 operating band unwanted emissions defined in the E-UTRA and NR specifications TS 36.104 [4] and TS 38.104 [17]. Option 2 also corresponds to the UTRA spectrum emission mask as defined in TS 25.104 [2] with GSM related modifications.

NOTE 6: This frequency range ensures that the range of values of f_offset is continuous.

NOTE 7: As a general rule for the requirements in the present subclause, 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 may 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.

6.6.2.4 Additional requirements

6.6.2.4.1 Limits in FCC Title 47

In addition to the requirements in subclauses 6.6.2.1 and 6.6.2.2, the BS may have to comply with the applicable emission limits established by FCC Title 47 [8], when deployed in regions where those limits are applied, and under the conditions declared by the manufacturer.

6.6.2.4.2 Unsynchronized operation for BC3

In certain regions, the following requirements may apply to a TDD BS operating in BC3 in the same geographic area and in the same operating band as another TDD system without synchronisation. For this case the emissions shall not exceed -52 dBm/MHz in each supported downlink operating band except in:

– The frequency range from 10 MHz below the lower Base Station RF Bandwidth edge to the frequency 10 MHz above the upper Base Station RF Bandwidth edge of each supported band.

NOTE 1: Local or regional regulations may specify another excluded frequency range, which may include frequencies where synchronised TDD systems operate.

6.6.2.4.3 Protection of DTT

In certain regions the following requirement may apply for protection of DTT. For a BS operating in Band 20, the level of emissions in the band 470-790 MHz, measured in an 8 MHz filter bandwidth on centre frequencies Ffilter according to Table 6.6.2.4.3-1, shall not exceed the maximum emission level PEM,N declared by the manufacturer. This requirement applies in the frequency range 470-790 MHz even though part of the range falls in the spurious domain.
