38.101-33GPPNRPart 3: Range 1 and Range 2 Interworking operation with other radiosRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception

Unless otherwise stated the transmitter characteristics are specified at the antenna connector(s) of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 1 and over the air of the UE for the bands operating on frequency range 2. The requirements for frequency range 1 and frequency range 2 can be verified separately. For the carrier in frequency range 1, requirements can be verified with NR FR2 link disabled. For the carrier in frequency range 2, requirements can be verified in OTA mode with E-UTRA connecting to the network by OTA without calibration.

Unless otherwise stated, requirements for NR transmitter written in TS 38.101-1 [2] and TS 38.101-2 [3] apply and are assumed anchor agnostic. Requirements are verified under conditions where anchor resources do not interfere NR operation. If UE indicates IE powerClassNRPart-r16 as defined in TS 38.331 [9] in EN-DC, UE shall meet NR requirements according to this power class.

For sub-clauses with suffix A or B: the minimum requirements for band combinations including Band n41 also apply for the corresponding band combinations with Band n90 replacing Band n41 but with otherwise identical parameters. For brevity the said band combinations with Band n90 are not listed in the tables below but are covered by this specification.
