7.7.1 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.

7.7.5.4 Single RAT E-UTRA operation
For each measured E-UTRA carrier, the throughput shall be ≥ 95% of the maximum throughput of the reference measurement channel, with a wanted signal at the assigned channel frequency and two interfering signals with the conditions specified in tables 7.7.5.4-1 and 7.7.5.4-2 for intermodulation performance and in tables 7.7.5.4-3, 7.7.5.4-4 and 7.7.5.4-5 for narrowband intermodulation performance. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is specified in tables 7.2.5.3-1, 7.2.5.3-2 and 7.2.5.3-3 for each channel bandwidth and further specified in annex A of TS 36.141 [17].
The receiver intermodulation requirement is always applicable outside the Base Station RF bandwidth or maximum Radio Bandwidth edges. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the lower (upper) or maximum Radio Bandwidth edges.
For a TAB connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum within any operating band, the narrowband intermodulation requirement applies in addition inside any sub-block gap in case the sub-block gap is at least as wide as the channel bandwidth of the E-UTRA interfering signal in table 7.7.5.4-3. 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 multi-band TAB connector, 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 multi-band TAB connector, 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 7.7.5.4-3, 7.7.5.4-4 and 7.7.5.4-5. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.

NOTE: If the above Test Requirement differs from the Minimum Requirement then the Test Tolerance applied for this test is non-zero.
