7.5 OTA Adjacent channel selectivity, general blocking, and narrowband blocking

37.145-23GPPActive Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) conformance testingPart 2: radiated conformance testingRelease 17TS

7.5.1 Definition and applicability

The adjacent channel selectivity (ACS), general blocking and narrowband blocking characteristics are measures of the receiver unit ability to receive a wanted signal at its assigned channel in the presence of an unwanted interferer inside the operating band.

The requirement applies at the RIB when the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are from the same direction, and:

– when the wanted signal is based on EISREFSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the OTA REFSENS RoAoA.

– when the wanted signal is based on EISminSENS : the AoA of the incident wave of a received signal and the interfering signal are within the minSENS RoAoA.

The wanted and interfering signals apply to each supported polarization, under the assumption of polarization match.

NOTE: For Single RAT requirements, the in-band selectivity characteristics is referred to as "adjacent channel selectivity", whereas for the MSR requirements, the corresponding property is referred to as "general blocking" since the adjacent frequency range may not carry a channel addressable from the interfered carrier.The in-band blocking requirement applies from FUL_low – ΔfOOB to FUL_high + ΔfOOB, excluding the downlink frequency range of the operating band. The ΔfOOB is defined in table 7.5-1.
