6.1.1 Total Radiated Power (TRP) for UTRA FDD in Speech Mode with beside the Head Phantom

6.1.1.1 Definition and applicability

The Total Radiated Power (TRP) is a measure of how much power the DUT actually radiates. The TRP is defined as the integral of the power transmitted in different directions over the entire radiation sphere:

Where is the solid angle describing the direction, is frequency. and are the orthogonal polarizations. and are the actually transmitted power-levels in corresponding polarizations.

Thus

In these formulas and are the number of sampling intervals for theta and phi. and are the measurement angles. The sampling intervals are discussed further in Subclause 4.4.

The TRP can also be calculated from Rayleigh faded samples of the total power transmitted from the UE. The measurement of transmitter performance in an isotropic Rayleigh fading environment is based on sampling the radiated power of the UE for a discrete number of field combinations in the chamber. The average value of these statistically distributed samples is proportional to the TRP and by calibrating the average power transfer function, an absolute value of the TRP can be obtained. Thus

where is the reference power transfer function for fixed measurement antenna n, is the reflection coefficient for fixed measurement antenna n and is the path loss in the cables connecting the measurement receiver to fixed measurement antenna n. These parameters are calculated from the calibration measurement and are further discussed in Annex B.2. is the average power measured by fixed measurement antenna n and can be calculated using the following expression:

where is sample number m of the complex transfer function measured with fixed measurement antenna n and is the total number of samples measured for each fixed measurement antenna.

Note that all averaging must be performed using linear power values (e.g. measurements in Watts).

The requirements and this test apply to all types of UTRA for the FDD UE for Release 7 and later releases.

6.1.1.2 Minimum Requirements

The average TRP of low, mid and high channel in beside head position shall be higher than minimum performance requirements for roaming bands shown in Table 6.1.1.2-1. The averaging shall be done in linear scale for the TRP results of both right and left side of the phantom head.

3) Position the UE against the SAM phantom

4) Measure the and with a sample step of 15° in theta () and phi () directions using a test system having characteristics as described in Annex A.

5) Calculate TRP using equations from Subclause 6.1.1.1

NOTE 1: The measurement procedure is based on the measurement of the spherical radiation pattern of the DUT. The power radiated by the DUT is sampled in far field in a group of points located on a spherical surface enclosing the DUT. The EIRP samples are taken using a constant sample step of 15° both in theta () and phi () directions. In some cases a different sampling grid may be used to speed up the measurements (See Subclause 4.4). All the EIRP samples are taken with two orthogonal polarizations, – and -polarisations.

NOTE 2: The noise floor of the measurement receiver shall not disturb the power measurement.

NOTE 3: Non Standard settings: To speed up sensitivity measurements, power measurements may be done with non standard modulation. However to obtain TRP result the measured EIRP figures shall be normalized by

where is power measurement done with standard setting. is power measurement done with non standard modulation. is amount of reference measurement points.

To ensure accuracy of TRP, the amount of reference points measured should be at least 4. It is recommended to spread the reference measurements equally during the measurement time.

The period of measurement shall be at least one timeslot. Also care should be taken that the noise floor of the measurement receiver is not disturbing the power measurement. Normally, the receiving device should be set accordingly so that the receiving signal will be at least 30dB higher than the system noise floor.

Test environment: normal; see 3GPP TS34.122-1 [8] Subclause G.2.1.

Frequencies to be tested: low range, mid range, high range; see Table 5.2-2.

6.1.4.4.2 Procedure

1) Send continuously Up power control commands to the UE.

2) As the UE reaches maximum power, start sending PN15 data pattern.

3) Position the UE according to the DUT positioning for speech mode specified in Subclause 4.3.3.

4) Measure the EIRP_θand EIRP_φwith a sample step of 15° in theta (θ) and phi (φ) directions using a test system having characteristics as described in Annex A.

5) Calculate TRP using equations from Subclause 6.1.4.1.

NOTE 1: The measurement procedure is based on the measurement of the spherical radiation pattern of the DUT. The power radiated by the DUT is sampled in far field in a group of points located on a spherical surface enclosing the DUT. The EIRP samples are taken using a constant sample step of 15° both in theta (θ) and phi (φ) directions. In some cases a different sampling grid may be used to speed up the measurements (See Subclause 4.4). All the EIRP samples are taken with two orthogonal polarizations, θ- and φ- polarizations.

NOTE 2: The noise floor of the measurement receiver shall not disturb the power measurement.

where i EIRPstd i is power measurement done with standard setting. EIRPnstd i is power measurement done with non standard modulation. n is amount of reference measurement points.

To ensure accuracy of TRP, the amount of reference points measured should be at least 4. It is recommended to spread the reference measurements equally during the measurement time.

6.1.5.1 Definition and applicability

The Total Radiated Power (TRP) is a measure of how much power the antenna actually radiates, when non-idealities such as mismatch and losses in the antenna are taken into account. The TRP is defined as the integral of the power transmitted in different directions over the entire radiation sphere:

Using to denote either or , is the -polarization component of the gain pattern for the handset antenna measured at the frequency , where is the solid angle describing the direction. is the transmit power level of the handset so that is the actually transmitted power-level, also known as EIRP, in the -polarization and in the direction for frequency .

The above equation may be written in "gain" form, that is, the TRP given by P_TRP is normalized to the transmitted power . This is the total radiation efficiency, which can also be denoted as Total Radiated Power Gain, TRPG,

In practice discrete samples of are measured and used to approximate the integral so that the TRP is computed as

Or, by using the relation :

In gain form the TRP can be expressed as:

In these formulas and are the sampling intervals for the – and -angles, respectively, and the number of samples in the – and -angles are given by and , respectively. The sampling points of the sphere are given by and . The sampling intervals are discussed further in Section 4.4.

When measuring power radiated by active devices, expressing the data in terms of EIRP is more appropriate. The upper form of the TRP formulas (which includes EIRP terms) will be used in the data processing.

where is sample number m of the complex transfer function measured with fixed measurement antenna n and is the total number of samples measured for each fixed measurement antenna.

The average value of these statistically distributed samples is proportional to the TRP and by calibrating the average power transfer function, an absolute value of the TRP can be obtained. Thus

where is sample number m of the complex transfer function measured with fixed measurement antenna n and is the total number of samples measured for each fixed measurement antenna.

Note that all averaging must be performed using linear power values (e.g. measurements in Watts).

The requirements and this test apply to all types of UTRA for the FDD UE for Release 11 and later releases that support LEE.

NOTE: This test case can be optionally executed for Release 7 and onward UE’s supporting LEE feature.

1) Follow Steps 1 and 2 in section 6.2.2.4.2 of 3GPP TS 36.521-1 [11] and ensure that the DUT transmits with its maximum power.

2) Measure a sufficient number of independent samples (see Subclause 4.5) of using a test system having characteristics as described in Annex A. Calculate TRP using equations from Subclause 6.3.4.1.

3) Repeat the measurement of the DUT for low, mid and high channels.

4) Calculate the average and minimum TRP as per Subclause 6.3.4.2.

6.3.4.5 Test requirements

The average measured TRP of low, mid and high channel for laptop embedded equipment shall be higher than the average TRP requirement specified in Table 6.3.4.5-1 for notebook devices and in Table 6.3.5.5-2 for tablet devices. The averaging shall be done in linear scale for the TRP results. Average TRP requirement is shown in the column “Average” on the requirement tables.

In addition the lowest TRP of each measured channel shall be higher than minimum TRP requirement specified in the column “Min” on the requirement tables.
