6.6.5 Operating band unwanted emission

37.145-13GPPActive Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) conformance testingPart 1: conducted conformance testingRelease 17TS

6.6.5.1 Definition and applicability

Unless otherwise stated, for E-UTRA single band and MSR 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 6.6.1-1.

For AAS BS capable of operation in multiple operating bands, using single band TAB connectors, the single-band requirements apply to those connectors and the cumulative evaluation of the emission limit in the inter RF bandwidth gap is not applicable.

The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification.

For BS operating in bands n50, n51, n74, n75 and n76 additional emission limits that might be applicable outside OBUE frequency domain are specified in clause 6.6.5.5.4.6.

6.6.5.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirement for MSR operation are defined in TS 37.105 [8], clause 6.6.5.2.

There is no Operating band unwanted emission requirement for UTRA operation.

The minimum requirement for E-UTRA operation is in TS 37.105 [8], clause 6.6.5.4.

6.6.5.3 Test purpose

This test measures the emissions of the TAB connector, close to the assigned channel bandwidth of the wanted signal, while the transmitter is in operation.

6.6.5.4.2 Procedure

The minimum requirement is applied to all TAB connectors, they may be tested one at a time or multiple TAB connectors may be tested in parallel as shown in clause D.1.1. Whichever method is used the procedure is repeated until all TAB connectors necessary to demonstrate conformance have been tested.

1) Connect TAB connector to measurement equipment as shown in clause D.1.1. All TAB connectors not under test shall be terminated.

As a general rule, the resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity, efficiency and avoiding e.g. carrier leakage, 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.

The measurement device characteristics shall be:

– Detection mode: True RMS.

The emission power should be averaged over an appropriate time duration to ensure the measurement is within the measurement uncertainty in Table 4.1.2.2-1.

2) Set the set the TAB connector to transmit:

a) For MSR:

– Set the TAB connector to transmit maximum power according to the applicable test configuration in clause 5 using the corresponding test models or set of physical channels in clause 4.12.

b) For E-UTRA:

– TAB connector declared to be capable of single carrier operation only, set the TAB connector to transmit a signal according to E-TM1.1 (clause 4.12.2) at manufacturer’s declared rated output power Prated,c,TABC..

– For a TAB connector declared to be capable of multi-carrier and/or CA operation, set the set the TAB connector to transmit according to E-TM1.1 on all carriers configured using the applicable test configuration and corresponding power setting specified in clause 4.11.

3) Step the centre frequency of the measurement filter in contiguous steps and measure the emission within the specified frequency ranges with the specified measurement bandwidth.

4) Repeat the test for the remaining test cases:

a) For MSR with channel set-up according to clause 5 and clause 4.12.2.

b) For E-UTRA with the channel set-up according to E-TM 1.2

In addition, for multi-band TAB connector(s), the following steps shall apply:

5) For multi-band TAB connectors and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band where single band test configurations and test models shall apply with no carrier activated in the other band.

6.6.5.5 Test requirements

6.6.5.5.1 General

Conformance may be shown to either the measure and sum test requirement or the per TAB connector test requirement.

1) The spurious emission test requirements for an AAS BS when using the measure and sum alternative are that for each TAB connector TX cell group and each applicable basic limit as specified in this clause, the power summation of emissions at the TAB connectors of the TAB connector TX cell group shall not exceed a limit specified as the basic limit + 10log10(NTXU,countedpercell).

2) The spurious emission test requirements for an AAS BS when using the per TAB connector alternative are that for each TAB connector TX cell group and each applicable basic limit as specified in this clause, the emissions at each of the TAB connectors of the TAB connector TX cell group shall not exceed a limit specified as the basic limit + 10log10(NTXU,countedpercell) – 10log(n) where n is the number of TAB connectors in the TAB connector TX cell group.

The appropriate table for the basic limit is based on the same power level (PRated,c,sys) as used for the AAS BS rated power limits for BS classes in table 6.2.2.1-1 the same method of scaling the power level using NTXU,counted is used.

As a general rule, 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 can 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.

6.6.5.5.2 Basic Limits for MSR Band Categories 1 and 3

For an AAS BS of Wide Area BS class 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 an AAS BS of Wide Area BS class operating in multiple bands, it applies inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For an AAS BS of Medium Range BS class 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 an AAS BS of Medium Range BS class operating in multiple bands, it applies inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

For an AAS BS of Local Area BS class 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 an AAS BS of Local Area BS class operating in multiple bands, it applies inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

Outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges, emissions basic limits are specified in tables 6.6.2.5.1-1 to 6.6.2.5.1-4 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 multi-band TAB connector, inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 2* ΔfOBUE, a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the test requirements specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter RF Bandwidth gap. The basic limit for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.2-1 to 6.6.5.5.2-8, 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 divided by two.

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

For a multi-band TAB 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 another operating band. In this case where there is no carrier transmitted in an operating band, no cumulative basic 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 and

– In case the Inter RF Bandwidth gap between a supported downlink band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink band without any carrier transmitted is less than 2*ΔfOBUE MHz, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE outside the outermost edges of the two supported downlink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both supported downlink bands.

– In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), 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.

Inside any sub-block gap for a TAB connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum, a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the test requirements specified for the adjacent sub blocks on each side of the sub block gap. The basic limit for each sub block is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.2-1 to 6.6.5.5.2-8, 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 frequency.

– 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 divided by two.

– 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 6.6.5.5.2-1/2, 6.6.5.5.2-2a and 6.5.5.2-2b is specified in table 6.6.5.5.2-0.

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 [36]. Option 2 also corresponds to the UTRA spectrum emission mask as defined in TS 25.104 [2].

6.6.5.5.3 Basic Limits for MSR Band Category 2

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

Outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges, basic limits are specified in tables 6.6.5.5.3-1 to 6.6.5.5.3-8, 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 MHz outside the downlink operating band.

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

For a multi-band TAB connector, inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 2×ΔfOBUE MHz, a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the test requirements specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter RF Bandwidth gap. The basic limit for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.3-1 to 6.6.5.5.3-8, 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 divided by two.

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

For a multi-band TAB connector and where there is no carrier transmitted in an operating band, no cumulative basic 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 and

– In case the inter-band gap between a supported downlink band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink band without any carrier transmitted less than is 2×ΔfOBUE MHz, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE MHz outside the outermost edges of the two supported downlink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both supported downlink bands.

– In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), shall apply from ΔfOBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted.

Inside any sub-block gap for a TAB connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum, a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the test requirement specified for the adjacent sub blocks on each side of the sub block gap. The basic limit for each sub block is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.3-1 to 6.6.5.5.3-8, 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 divided by two.

– 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 6.6.5.5.3-1, 6.6.5.5.3-1a and 6.6.5.5.3-1b is specified in table 6.6.5.5.3-0.

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 [36]. Option 2 also corresponds to the UTRA spectrum emission mask as defined in TS 25.104 [2].

– 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.

NOTE 2: TDD Base Stations that are synchronized and operating in BC3 can transmit without these additional co-existence requirements.

6.6.5.5.5 Basic Limits for E-UTRA

6.6.5.5.5.1 General

The measurement results in clause 6.6.5.4 shall not exceed the maximum levels based on the basic limits in the tables below, where:

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

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

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

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

For a multi-band TAB connector, inside any Inter RF Bandwidth gaps with Wgap < 2×ΔfOBUE MHz, a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the test requirements specified at the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges on each side of the Inter RF Bandwidth gap. The basic limit for Base Station RF Bandwidth edge is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.5.2-1 to 6.6.5.5.5.2‑9, 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 Base Station RF Bandwidth edge.

– 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 multi-band TAB connector, the operating band unwanted emission limits apply also in a supported operating band without any carrier transmitted, in the case where there are carrier(s) transmitted in another supported operating band. In this case, no cumulative basic limit is applied in the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted and:

– In case the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted is less than 2×ΔfOBUE MHz, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE MHz outside the outermost edges of the two supported downlink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both downlink bands.

– In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission limit of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), shall apply from ΔfOBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted.

For a multicarrier E-UTRA TAB connector or a TAB connector configured for intra-band contiguous or non-contiguous carrier aggregation the definitions above apply to the lower edge of the carrier transmitted at the lowest carrier frequency and the upper edge of the carrier transmitted at the highest carrier frequency within a specified frequency band.

In addition inside any sub-block gap for a TAB connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum, measurement results shall not exceed a level based on a combined basic limit shall be applied which is the cumulative sum specified for the adjacent sub blocks on each side of the sub block gap. The basic limit for each sub block is specified in tables 6.6.5.5.5.2-1 to 6.6.5.5.5.2-9, 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.
