6.7.3.4.2 Procedure
6.7.3.4.2.1 General Procedure
The following procedure for measuring TRP is based on the directional power measurements as described in in Annex F. An alternative method to measure TRP is to use a characterized and calibrated reverberation chamber if so follow steps 1, 3, 4, 6 and 9.
1) Place the AAS BS at the positioner.
2) Align the manufacturer declared coordinate system orientation (see table 4.10-1, D9.2) of the AAS BS with the test system.
3) The measurement devices characteristics shall be:
– measurement filter bandwidth: defined in clause 6.7.3.5.
– detection mode: true RMS voltage or true power averaging.
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.
4) For single carrier operation, set the AAS BS to transmit according to the applicable test configuration in clause 5 using the corresponding test model(s) in clause 4.12.2 at manufacturers declared rated carrier TRP (Prated,c,TRP).
For an AAS BS declared to be capable of multi-carrier and/or CA operation use the applicable test signal configuration and corresponding power setting specified in clause 4.11.
5) Orient the positioner (and BS) in order that the direction to be tested aligns with the test antenna such that measurements to determine TRP can be performed (see annex F).
6) Measure the absolute total power of the assigned channel frequency and the (adjacent channel frequency)
7) Repeat step 6-7 for all directions in the appropriated TRP measurement grid needed for TRPEstimate for each of the assigned channel frequency and the adjacent channel frequency (see Annex F).
8) Calculate TRPEstimate for the absolute total radiated power of the wanted channel and the adjacent channel and the ACLR estimate using the measurements made in Step 7.
9) Calculate relative ACLR estimate.
NOTE 1: ACLR is calculated by the ratio of the absolute TRP of the assigned channel frequency and the absolute TRP of the adjacent frequency channel.
NOTE 2: For FR1 the measurement uncertainty of the reverberation chamber for the relative ACLR is higher than the measurement uncertainty in clause 4.1.2 the test requirements in Table 6.7.3.5.1-1 shall be tightened following the procedure in clause 4.1.3.

– Inside an Inter RF Bandwidth gap for a BS operating in multiple bands, where multiple bands are mapped on the same antenna connector.
The Cumulative Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (CACLR) in a sub-block gap or the Inter RF Bandwidth gap is the ratio of:

b) the filtered mean power centred on a frequency channel adjacent to one of the respective sub-block edges or Base Station RF Bandwidth edges.
The requirement applies to adjacent channels of E-UTRA or UTRA carriers allocated adjacent to each side of the sub‑block gap or the Inter RF Bandwidth gap. The assumed filter for the adjacent channel frequency is defined in Table 6.7.3.5.1.3-1 and the filters on the assigned channels are defined in Table 6.7.3.5.1.3-2.
NOTE: If the RAT on the assigned channel frequencies is different, the filters used are also different.
