7 Receiver characteristics

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

7.1 General

The requirements in clause 7 are expressed for a single receiver antenna connector. For receivers with antenna diversity or in case of multi-carrier reception with multiple receiver antenna connectors, the requirements apply for each receiver antenna connector.

For blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received.

A BS supporting DC-HSUPA receives two UTRA FDD cells simultaneously on adjacent carrier frequencies.

Unless otherwise stated, the receiver characteristics are specified at the BS antenna connector (test port A) with a full complement of transceivers for the configuration in normal operating conditions. For FDD operation the requirements in clause 7 shall be met with the transmitter(s) on. If any external apparatus such as a RX amplifier, a filter or the combination of such devices is used, requirements apply at the far end antenna connector (test port B).

NOTE: In normal operating conditions the BS in FDD operation is configured to transmit and receive at the same time. The transmitter may be off for some of the tests as specified in 37.141 [10].

Unless otherwise stated the requirements in clause 7 apply during the base station receive period.

Unless otherwise stated the requirements for NB-IoT in subclause 7 applies for all operation modes (In-band operation, Guard-band operation and Stand-alone operation).

NOTE 1 (*): PREFSENS depends on the RAT, the BS class and the channel bandwidth, see subclause 7.2.
"x" is equal to 3 in case of GSM/EDGE wanted signal and equal to 6 in case of NR or UTRA or E-UTRA or NB-IoT wanted signals.

NOTE 2: Except for a BS operating in Band 13, these requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within any of the supported uplink operating band or in the ΔfOOB immediately outside any of the supported uplink operating band.
For a BS operating in band 13 the requirements do not apply when the interfering signal falls within the frequency range 768-797 MHz.

NOTE 3: Some combinations of bands may not be possible to co-site based on the requirements above. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location of UTRA TDD or E-UTRA TDD or NR TDD with E-UTRA FDD or NR FDD on adjacent frequencies for 30dB BS-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [7].

NOTE 4: In China, the blocking requirement for co-location with DCS1800 and Band III BS is only applicable in the frequency range 1805-1850MHz.

NOTE 5: For a BS operating in band 11, 21, 74, the requirement for co-location with Band 32 applies for interfering signal within the frequency range 1475.9-1495.9 MHz.

NOTE 6: Co-located TDD base stations that are synchronized and using the same or adjacent operating band can receive without special co-location requirements. For unsynchronized base stations, special co-location requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.

NOTE 7 (**): For NB-IoT, up to 24 exceptions are allowed for spurious response frequencies in each wanted signal frequency when measured using a 1MHz step size. For these exceptions the above throughput requirement shall be met when the blocking signal is set to a level of -40 dBm for 15 kHz subcarrier spacing and -46 dBm for 3.75 kHz subcarrier spacing. In addition, each group of exceptions shall not exceed three contiguous measurements using a 1MHz step size.

7.6 Receiver spurious emissions

The receiver spurious emissions power is the power of emissions generated or amplified in a receiver that appear at the BS receiver antenna connector. The requirements apply to all BS with separate RX and TX antenna ports. In this case for FDD BS the test shall be performed when both TX and RX are on, with the TX port terminated.

For TDD BS with common RX and TX antenna port the requirement applies during the Transmitter OFF period. For FDD BS with common RX and TX antenna port the transmitter spurious emission limits as specified in subclause 6.6.1 are valid.

For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on separate antenna connectors, the single-band requirements apply and the excluded frequency range is only applicable for the operating band supported on each antenna connector.

7.6.1 General minimum requirement

The power of any spurious emission shall not exceed the levels in Table 7.6.1-1:

This spurious frequency range applies only for operating bands for which the 5th harmonic of the upper frequency edge of the UL operating band is reaching beyond 12.75 GHz.

NOTE: The frequency range from FBW RF,DL,low – ΔfOBUE to FBW RF,,DLhigh + ΔfOBUE may be excluded from the requirement. For BS capable of multi-band operation, the exclusion applies for all supported operating bands. For BS capable of multi-band operation where multiple bands are mapped on separate antenna connectors, the single-band requirements apply and the excluded frequency range is only applicable for the operating band supported on each antenna connector.

In addition to the requirements in Table 7.6.1-1, the power of any spurious emission shall not exceed the Additional spurious emissions requirements in subclause 6.6.1.3 and in case of FDD BS (for BC1 and BC2) emission shall not exceed the levels specified for Protection of the BS receivers of own or different BS in subclause 6.6.1.2. In addition, the requirements for co-location with other base stations specified in subclause 6.6.1.4 may also be applied.

7.6.2 Additional minimum requirement for BC2 (Category B)

For a BS operating in Band Category 2 when GSM/EDGE is configured and where Category B spurious emissions apply, the power of any spurious emissions shall not exceed the limits in Table 7.6.2-1.

For BS capable of multi-band operation, the limits in Table 7.6.2-1 are only applicable when all supported operating bands belong to BC2 and GSM/EDGE is configured in all bands.

NOTE 1: For BS capable of multi-band operation, the frequency offset is relative to the closest supported operating band.

7.7 Receiver intermodulation

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.

7.7.1 General intermodulation minimum requirement

Interfering signals shall be a CW signal and an E-UTRA or UTRA signal as specified in Annex A.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

For BS capable of multi-band operation, the requirement applies in addition inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap, in case the gap size is at least twice as wide as the UTRA/E-UTRA interfering signal centre frequency offset from the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the inter Base Station RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted signal at the assigned channel frequency and two interfering signals coupled to the base station antenna input, using the parameters in Table 7.7.1-1 and 7.7.1-2, the following requirements shall be met:

– For any E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in TS 36.104 [4], subclause 7.2.

– For any UTRA FDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0.001 for the reference measurement channel defined in TS 25.104 [2], subclause 7.2.

– For any UTRA TDD carrier, the BER shall not exceed 0.001 for the reference measurement channel defined in TS 25.105 [3], subclause 7.2.

– For any GSM/EDGE carrier, the conditions are specified in TS 45.005 [5], Annex P.2.2.

– For any NB-IoT carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in TS 36.104 [4], subclause 7.2.

– For any NR carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel defined in TS 38.104 [17], subclause 7.2.

7.7.2 General narrowband intermodulation minimum requirement

Interfering signals shall be a CW signal and an E-UTRA 1RB signal as specified in Annex A.

The requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.

The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the gap.

For BS capable of multi-band operation, the 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 Table 7.7.2-2. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For the wanted signal at the assigned channel frequency and two interfering signals coupled to the base station antenna input, using the parameters in Table 7.7.2-1 and 7.7.2-2, the following requirements shall be met:

NOTE 1: Interfering signal consisting of one resource block positioned at the stated offset, the channel bandwidth of the interfering signal is located adjacently to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge.

NOTE 2: This requirement shall apply only for an E-UTRA FRC A1-3 or NR G-FRC mapped to the frequency range at the channel edge adjacent to the interfering signals.

NOTE 3: The frequency offset shall be adjusted to accommodate the IMD product to fall in the NB-IoT RB for NB-IoT in-band/guard band operation.

NOTE 4: 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.

7.7.3 Additional narrowband intermodulation minimum requirement for GSM/EDGE

The GSM/EDGE MC-BTS receiver intermodulation requirement as stated in TS 45.005 [5], applicable parts of subclause 5.3.2 shall apply for any GSM/EDGE carrier.

The conditions specified in TS 45.005 [5], Annex P.2.2 apply for the GSM/EDGE intermodulation requirement.

7.8 In-channel selectivity

In-channel selectivity (ICS) is a measure of the receiver ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned resource block locations in the presence of an interfering signal received at a larger power spectral density. In this condition a throughput requirement shall be met for a specified reference measurement channel.

7.8.1 E-UTRA minimum requirement

For E-UTRA, the minimum requirement for in-channel selectivity is specified in TS 36.104 [4], subclause 7.4.

For NB-IoT, the minimum requirement for in-channel selectivity is specified in TS 36.104 [4], subclause 7.4.

7.8.2 NR minimum requirement

For NR, the minimum requirement for in-channel selectivity (BS type 1-C) is specified in TS 38.104 [17], subclause 7.8.

For NB-IoT operation in NR in-band, the minimum requirement for in-channel selectivity (BS type 1-C) is specified in TS 38.104 [17], subclause 7.8.
