7.8 OTA Receiver intermodulation
37.145-23GPPActive Antenna System (AAS) Base Station (BS) conformance testingPart 2: radiated conformance testingRelease 17TS
7.8.1 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. Intermodulation response rejection is a measure of the capability of the receiver unit 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.
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.
7.8.2 Minimum Requirement
For AAS BS in MSR operation the minimum requirement is defined in TS 37.105 [6], clause 10.8.2.
For AAS BS in single RAT UTRA operation the minimum requirement is defined in TS 37.105 [6], clause 10.8.3.
For AAS BS in single RAT E-UTRA operation the minimum requirement is defined in TS 37.105 [6], clause 10.8.4.
7.8.3 Test purpose
The test purpose is to verify the ability of the receiver to inhibit the generation of intermodulation products in its non-linear elements caused by the presence of two high-level interfering signals at frequencies with a specific relationship to the frequency of the wanted signal.
7.8.4 Method of test
7.8.4.1 Initial conditions
Test environment: normal; see annex G.2.
RF channels to be tested for single carrier: M; see clause 4.12.1.
Base Station RF Bandwidth positions to be tested: For single-band RIB(s): MRFBW if ATC4 is applicable; BRFBW and TRFBW for other ATC, see clause 4.12.1. For multi-band RIB(s): BRFBW_T’RFBW and B’RFBW_TRFBW, see clause 4.12.1.
Directions to be tested: OTA REFSENS receiver target reference direction (see table 4.10-20 D11.30).
7.8.4.2 Procedure
7.8.4.2.1 General procedure
The general procedure steps apply to the procedures for all the RATs.
1) Place the AAS BS with its manufacturer declared coordinate system reference point in the same place as calibrated point in the test system, as shown in Annex D2.6.
2) Align the manufacturer declared coordinate system orientation of the AAS BS with the test system.
3) Align the BS with the test antenna in the declared direction to be tested.
4) Align the NR BS to that the wanted signal and interferer signal is polarization matched with the test antenna(s)
5) Configure the beam peak direction of the AAS BS according to declared reference beam direction pair for the appropriate beam identifier.
6) Set the AAS BS to transmit the beam(s) of the same operational band and RAT as the OSDD being tested according to the appropriate test configuration in clause 5.
7) Set the test signal mean power so the calibrated radiated power at the AAS BS Antenna Array coordinate system reference point is as specified as follows:
Set the signal generator for the wanted signal according to the applicable test configuration (see clause 5) using applicable reference measurement channel to transmit:
– For E-UTRA see clause A.1 in TS 36.141 [12].
– For UTRA FDD see clause A.2 in TS 25.141 [10].

1) Adjust the signal generators to the type of interfering signals, levels and the frequency offsets as specified in table 7.8.5.1.1-1 and Table 7.7.5.1.1-2 for general intermodulation requirement, and Table 7.8.5.1.2-1 and Table 7.8.5.1.2-2 for narrowband intermodulation requirement.
2) Measure the performance of the wanted signal at the receiver under test, as defined in clause 7.8.5.1.1 and 7.8.5.1.2, for the relevant carriers specified by the test configuration in clause 5.
3) Repeat for all supported polarizations.

For multi-band RIBs, 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 7.8.5.1.2-2. 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 at the RIB, using the parameters in tables 7.8.5.1.2-1 and 7.8.5.1.2-2, 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], clause 7.2.5.3.

7.8.5.3 Single RAT E- UTRA operation
For E-UTRA, 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 at the RIB, with the conditions specified in tables 7.8.5.3-1 and 7.8.5.3-2 for intermodulation performance and in tables 7.8.5.3-3, 7.8.5.3-4, and 7.8.5.3-5 for narrowband intermodulation performance. Narrowband intermodulation requirements are not applied for Band 46. The reference measurement channel for the wanted signal is identified in table 10.8.4-1 to 6 for each channel bandwidth and further specified in TS 36.104 [4] Annex A.
The receiver intermodulation requirement is applicable outside the Base Station RF Bandwidth or Radio Bandwidth edges. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges or Radio Bandwidth edges.
For RIB supporting operation in non-contiguous spectrum within each supported operating band, the 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 7.8.5.3-3. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the sub-block edges inside the sub-block gap.
For multi-band RIBs, the 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 centre frequency offset from the Base Station RF Bandwidth edge.
For multi-band RIBs, 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 7.8.5.3-3, 7.8.5.3-4 and 7.8.5.3-5. The interfering signal offset is defined relative to the Base Station RF Bandwidth edges inside the Inter RF Bandwidth gap.
The OTA levels are applied referenced to 2 antenna gain offsets ΔOTAREFSENS and ΔminSENS.
