Unless otherwise stated, the conducted transmitter characteristics are specified at the antenna connector for repeater type 1-C configuration in normal operating conditions.
Requirements apply in both DL and UL unless otherwise stated or declared.
For the DL the antenna connector on the BS side is the input and the antenna connector on the UE side is the output.
For the UL the antenna connector on the UE side is the input and the antenna connector on the BS side is the output.
6.2 Repeater output power
6.2.1 General
The repeater conducted output power requirement is at the antenna connector.
The rated passband output power of the repeater type 1-C shall be as specified in table 6.2.1-1 and table 6.2.1-2.

6.3.2 Minimum requirement
The frequency deviation of the output signal with respect to the input signal shall be no more than ±0,01 PPM.
6.4 Out of band gain
6.4.1 General
Out of band gain refers to the gain of the repeater outside the passband.
The intended use of a repeater in a system is to amplify the in-band signals and not to amplify signals outside of the passband.
In the intended application of the repeater, the out of band gain is less than lowest expected the coupling loss to the nearest source of emissions.
6.4.2 Minimum requirement
The gain outside the passband shall not exceed the maximum level specified in table 6.4.2-1 or table 6.4.2-2, where:
– f_offset_CW is the offset between the outer channel edge frequency of the outer channel in the passband and a CW signal.

6.5 Unwanted emissions
6.5.1 General
Unwanted emissions consist of out-of-band emissions and spurious emissions according to ITU definitions [5]. In ITU terminology, out of band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission, intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The out-of-band emissions requirement for the Repeater transmitter is specified both in terms of Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) and operating band unwanted emissions (OBUE).
The maximum offset of the operating band unwanted emissions mask from the operating band edge is ΔfOBUE. The Operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted emissions in each supported downlink operating band of repeater type 1-C DL and uplink operating band of repeater type 1-C UL, plus the frequency ranges ΔfOBUE above and ΔfOBUE below each band. Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.
The values of ΔfOBUE are defined in tables 6.5.1-1 and 6.5.1-2 for the NR operating bands.

6.5.2 Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio
6.5.2.1 General
Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) is the ratio of the filtered mean power centred on the assigned channel frequency to the filtered mean power centred on an adjacent channel frequency.
The requirements shall apply outside the repeater type 1-C passband whatever the type of transmitter considered (single carrier or multi-carrier) and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification.
For a repeater operating in non-contiguous spectrum, the ACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.2 shall apply in Gaps between passbands for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.2-3, while the CACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.2 shall apply in gaps between passbands for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.2-4.
For a multi-band connector, the ACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.2 shall apply in inter-passband gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.2-3, while the CACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.2 shall apply in inter-passband gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.2-4.
The requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON state.
6.5.2.2 Minimum requirements
The ACLR is defined with a square filter of bandwidth equal to the transmission bandwidth configuration of the transmitted signal (BWConfig) centred on the assigned channel frequency and a filter centred on the adjacent channel frequency according to the tables below.
For repeater type 1-C nominal repeater channel bandwidth is calculated as min(100MHz, BWpassband). If this bandwidth is not defined for BS channel bandwidth for the operating band, nominal channel bandwidth shall be defined as the widest channel bandwidth for the operating band which is narrower than BWpassband.
For repeater type 1-C, for DL (all repeater classes), and for UL for WA class, either the ACLR (CACLR) absolute minimum requirements in table 6.5.2.2-2, 6.5.2.2-5 or else the relevant the ACLR (CACLR) limits in table 6.5.2.2-1, 6.5.2.2-3 or 6.5.2.2-4, whichever is less stringent, shall apply for each antenna connector. For UL for LA class, the ACLR (CACLR) limits in table 6.5.2.2-1a, 6.5.2.2-3 or 6.5.2.2-4a shall apply.
For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, absolute ACLR limits shall be applied to the sum of the absolute ACLR power over all antenna connectors for repeater type 1-C.

6.5.3 Operating band unwanted emissions
6.5.3.1 General
Unless otherwise stated, the operating band unwanted emission (OBUE) limits for repeater type 1-C DL are defined from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band. The values of ΔfOBUE are defined in table 6.5.1‑1 for the NR operating bands.
Unless otherwise stated, the operating band unwanted emission (OBUE) limits for repeater type 1-C UL are defined from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported uplink operating band up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of each supported uplink operating band. The values of ΔfOBUE are defined in table 6.5.1‑2 for the NR operating bands.
The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered and for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification. In addition, for repeater type 1-C operating in non-contiguous spectrum, the requirements apply inside any gap between passbands. In addition, for a repeater type 1-C operating in multiple bands, the requirements apply inside any inter-passband gap.
Limits are specified in the tables below, where:
– Δf is the separation between the passband edge frequency and the nominal -3dB point of the measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
– f_offset is the separation between the passband edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.
– f_offsetmax is the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE outside the downlink operating band of repeater type 1-C DL and uplink operating band of repeater type 1-C UL, where ΔfOBUE is defined in tables 6.5.1-1 and 6.5.1-2.
– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
For a multi-band connector inside any inter-passband gaps with Wgap < 2*ΔfOBUE, a combined minimum requirement shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the minimum requirement specified at the repeater type 1-C passband edges on each side of the inter-passband gap. The minimum requirement for repeater type 1-C Bandwidth edge is specified in clauses 6.5.3.2.1 to 6.5.3.2.4 below, where in this case:
– Δf is the separation between the repeater type 1-C passband edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the repeater type 1-C passband edge.
– f_offset is the separation from the repeater type 1-C passband edge frequency to the centre of the measuring filter.
– f_offsetmax is equal to the inter-passband gap minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
For a multi-band connector of repeater type 1-C DL, the operating band unwanted emission limits apply also in a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted, in the case where there are carrier(s) transmitted in another supported downlink operating band. In this case, no cumulative minimum requirement is applied in the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted and
– In case the inter-band gap between a supported downlink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted is less than 2*ΔfOBUE, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE MHz outside the outermost edges of the two supported downlink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission minimum requirement of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both downlink bands.
– In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission minimum requirement of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), shall apply from ΔfOBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported downlink operating band without any carrier transmitted.
For a multi-band connector of repeater type 1-C UL, the operating band unwanted emission limits apply also in a supported uplink operating band without any carrier transmitted, in the case where there are carrier(s) transmitted in another supported uplink operating band. In this case, no cumulative minimum requirement is applied in the inter-band gap between a supported uplink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported uplink operating band without any carrier transmitted and
– In case the inter-band gap between a supported uplink operating band with carrier(s) transmitted and a supported uplink operating band without any carrier transmitted is less than 2* ΔfOBUE, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency ΔfOBUE MHz outside the outermost edges of the two supported uplink operating bands and the operating band unwanted emission minimum requirement of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause, shall apply across both uplink bands.
– In other cases, the operating band unwanted emission minimum requirements of the band where there are carriers transmitted, as defined in the tables of the present clause for the largest frequency offset (Δfmax), shall apply from ΔfOBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to ΔfOBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported uplink operating band without any carrier transmitted.
In addition, inside any gap between passbands for a single-band connector operating in non-contiguous spectrum, a combined minimum requirement shall be applied which is the cumulative sum of the minimum requirement specified for the adjacent sub-blocks on each side of the gap between passbands. The minimum requirement for each sub-block is specified in clauses 6.5.3.2.1 to 6.5.3.2.4 below, where in this case:
– Δf is the separation between the sub-block edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest to the sub-block edge.
– f_offset is the separation between the sub-block edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.
– f_offsetmax is equal to the gap between passbands bandwidth minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
– Δfmax is equal to f_offsetmax minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
For Wide Area repeater type 1-C, the requirements of either clause 6.5.3.2.1 (Category A limits) or clause 6.5.3.2.2 (Category B limits) shall apply.
For Medium Range repeater type 1-C, the requirements in clause 6.5.3.2.3 shall apply (Category A and B).
For Local Area repeater type 1-C, the requirements of clause 6.5.3.2.4 shall apply (Category A and B).
The application of either Category A or Category B minimum requirements shall be the same as for Transmitter spurious emissions in clause 6.5.4.
For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, the operating band unwanted emissions limits shall be applied to the sum of the emission power over all antenna connectors for repeater type 1-C.
In addition to, for the part of passband where there is no input signal at DL input port, the requirements in Table 6.5.2.2-2 shall apply. In addition to, for the part of passband where there is no input signal at UL input port, the requirements in 6.5.3.2.6 shall apply.

6.5.4.1 General
For repeater type 1-C, the transmitter spurious emission limits shall apply from 9 kHz to 12.75 GHz, excluding the frequency range from ΔfOBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band, up to ΔfOBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band, where the ΔfOBUE is defined in table 6.5.1-1. For some operating bands, the upper limit is higher than 12.75 GHz in order to comply with the 5th harmonic limit of the downlink operating band, as specified in ITU-R recommendation SM.329 [5].
For a multi-band connector, for each supported operating band together with ΔfOBUE around the band is excluded from the transmitter spurious emissions requirement.

6.5.4.2.2 Additional spurious emissions requirements
These requirements may be applied for the protection of system operating in other frequency ranges. The limits may apply as an optional protection of such systems that are deployed in the same geographical area as the repeater-Node, or they may be set by local or regional regulation as a mandatory requirement for an NR operating band. It is in some cases not stated in the present document whether a requirement is mandatory or under what exact circumstances that a limit applies, since this is set by local or regional regulation. An overview of regional requirements in the present document is given in clause 4.5.
Some requirements may apply for the protection of specific equipment (UE, MS and/or BS) or equipment operating in specific systems (GSM, CDMA, UTRA, E-UTRA, NR, etc.) as listed below.
The spurious emission minimum requirements are provided in table 6.5.4.2.2-1 where requirements for co-existence with the system listed in the first column apply for repeater type 1-C. For a multi-band connector, the exclusions and conditions in the Note column of table 6.5.4.2.2-1 apply for each supported operating band.

NOTE 1: As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this clause, except for the cases where the noted requirements apply to a repeater operating in Band n28, the co-existence requirements in table 6.5.4.2.3 -1 do not apply for the ΔfOBUE frequency range immediately outside the downlink operating band (see table 5.2-1). Emission limits for this excluded frequency range may be covered by local or regional requirements.
NOTE 2: Table 6.5.5.2.3 -1 assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges in table 5.2-1 would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area. For such a case of operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same geographical area, special co-existence requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.
NOTE 3: For unsynchronized operation, special co-existence requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.
NOTE 4: For NR Band n28 repeater, specific solutions may be required to fulfil the spurious emissions limits for repeater for co-existence with E-UTRA Band 27 UL operating band.
NOTE 5: For NR Band n29 repeater, specific solutions may be required to fulfil the spurious emissions limits for NR repeater for co-existence with UTRA Band XII, E-UTRA Band 12 or NR Band n12 UL operating band, E-UTRA Band 17 UL operating band or E-UTRA Band 85 UL or NR Band n85 UL operating band.
The following requirement may be applied for the protection of PHS. This requirement is also applicable at specified frequencies falling between ΔfOBUE below the lowest repeater transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band and ΔfOBUE above the highest repeater transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band. ΔfOBUE is defined in clause 6.5.1.
The spurious emission minimum requirements for this requirement are:

NOTE: The resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity and efficiency, the resolution bandwidth may be smaller than the measurement bandwidth. When the resolution bandwidth is smaller than the measurement bandwidth, the result should be integrated over the measurement bandwidth in order to obtain the equivalent noise bandwidth of the measurement bandwidth.
NOTE: The regional requirement, included in [12], is defined in terms of EIRP, which is dependent on both the repeater emissions at the antenna connector and the deployment (including antenna gain and feeder loss). The requirement defined above provides the characteristics of the base station needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement. The assessment of the EIRP level is described in Annex F.
The following requirement shall be applied to repeater operating in Band n26 to ensure that appropriate interference protection is provided to 800 MHz public safety operations.

6.5.4.2.3 Co-location with base stations and repeater type 1-C Nodes
These requirements may be applied for the protection of other BS, IAB-DU, IAB-MT and repeater type 1-C receivers when GSM900, DCS1800, PCS1900, GSM850, CDMA850, UTRA FDD, UTRA TDD, E-UTRA, NR BS, IAB-DU, IAB-MT, or repeater type 1-C are co-located with repeater type 1-C.
The requirements assume a 30 dB coupling loss between transmitter and receiver and are based on co-location with same class.
The minimum requirements are in table 6.5.4.2.3-1 for a repeater type 1-C. Requirements for co-location with a system listed in the first column apply, depending on the declared repeater type 1-C class. For a multi-band connector, the exclusions and conditions in the Note column of table 6.5.4.2.3-1 shall apply for each supported operating band.

NOTE 1: As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this clause, the co-location requirements in table 6.5.4.2.4-1 do not apply for the frequency range extending ΔfOBUE immediately outside the transmit frequency range of a repeater type 1-C. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-location with other system on adjacent frequencies for 30dB antenna to antenna minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [3].
NOTE 2: Table 6.5.4.2.3-1 assumes that two operating bands, where the corresponding transmit and receive frequency ranges in table 5.2-1 would be overlapping, are not deployed in the same geographical area. For such a case of operation with overlapping frequency arrangements in the same geographical area, special co-location requirements may apply that are not covered by the 3GPP specifications.
6.5.5 Receiver spurious emissions
6.5.5.1 General
The receiver spurious emissions power is the power of emissions generated or amplified in a receiver unit that appear at the antenna connector. The requirements only apply to repeater type 1-C for TDD operation.
For each antenna connectors on BS-side and UE-side supporting both RX and TX in TDD, the requirements apply during the transmitter OFF state. For antenna connectors both BS-side and UE-side in FDD, the RX spurious emissions requirements are superseded by the TX spurious emissions requirements, as specified in clause 6.5.4.
For multi-band connectors that both transmit and receive in operating band supporting TDD, RX spurious emissions requirements are applicable during the TX OFF state, and are subject to exclusion zones in each supported operating band.
For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, the sum of receiver spurious emissions requirements over all antenna connectors for repeater type 1-C shall not exceed minimum requirements defined in clause 6.5.5.2.
6.5.5.2 Minimum requirements
The receiver spurious emissions requirements for repeater type 1-C are that for each antenna connector, the power of emissions shall not exceed the value specified in table 6.5.5.2-1.

6.6 Error Vector Magnitude
6.6.1 Downlink Error vector magnitude
6.6.1.1 General
The Error Vector Magnitude (EVM) is a measure of the difference between the symbols provided at the input of repeater and the measured signal symbols at the output of the repeater after the equalization by the measurement equipment. This difference is called the error vector. Details about how the EVM is determined are specified in TS 38.104 [2] Annex B for FR1. The EVM result is defined as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed in percent.
The EVM requirement is applicable for a repeater operating at an input power in the range from what is required to reach the maximum output power to the minimum power level in table 6.6.1.1-1.

6.6.1.3 EVM frame structure for measurement
The input signals for the EVM requirement shall have the same frame structure as defined for the BS is TS 38.104 [2].
6.6.2 Uplink Error vector magnitude
6.6.2.1 General
The Error Vector Magnitude is a measure of the difference between the reference waveform and the measured waveform. This difference is called the error vector. Before calculating the EVM the measured waveform is corrected by the sample timing offset and RF frequency offset. Then the carrier leakage shall be removed from the measured waveform before calculating the EVM.
The measured waveform is further equalised using the channel estimates subjected to the EVM equaliser spectrum flatness requirement specified in TS 38.101-1 [13] clause 6.4.2.4. For DFT-s-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT and IDFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %. For CP-OFDM waveforms, the EVM result is defined after the front-end FFT as the square root of the ratio of the mean error vector power to the mean reference power expressed as a %.
The basic EVM measurement interval in one slot in the time domain. The EVM measurement interval is reduced by any symbols that contains an allowable power transient in the measurement interval, as defined in TS 38.101-1 [13] clause 6.3.3.
The EVM requirement is applicable for a repeater operating at an input power in the range from what is required to reach the maximum output power to the minimum power level in table 6.6.2.1-1.

6.7.1.1 General
The input intermodulation is a measure of the capability of the repeater to inhibit the generation of interference in the passband, in the presence of interfering signals on frequencies other than the passband.
The following requirement applies for interfering signals depending on the repeaters passband.

6.9 Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio (ACRR)
6.9.1 General
Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio (ACRR) is the ratio of the average gain over a carrier of the repeater in the passband to the average gain of the repeater over an adjacent channel outside the repeater passband. The carrier in the passband and in the adjacent channel shall be of the same type (reference carrier) and both are assumed to have a bandwidth of min{100 MHz, BWpassband}.

N = SCS/15, where SCS is Sub Carrier Spacing in kHz of the input signal.
For multi-band connectors and for single band connectors supporting transmission in multiple operating bands, the requirement is only applicable during the transmitter OFF state in all supported operating bands.
6.10.1.2 Minimum requirement for repeater type 1-C
For repeater type 1-C downlink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -85 dBm/MHz per antenna connector.
For repeater type 1-C uplink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -50dBm / (SCS*(12*NRB+1)/1000) MHz per antenna connector, where SCS is Sub Carrier Spacing in kHz.
6.10.2 Transmitter transient period
6.10.2.1 General
Transmitter transient period requirements apply only to TDD operation of the repeater. The requirement applies to both downlink and uplink of the repeater.
The transmitter transient state is the time period during which the transmitter is changing from the transmitter OFF state to the transmitter ON state or vice versa. The transmitter transient period is illustrated in figure 6.10.2.1-1.
Figure 6.10.2.1-1: Example of relations between transmitter ON period, transmitter OFF period and transmitter transient period
For repeater type 1-C this requirement shall be applied at the antenna connector supporting transmission in the operating band. The beginning and end point of downlink and uplink bursts are referenced to the slot timing at the input.6.10.2.2 Minimum requirement for repeater type 1-C
For repeater type 1-C, the transmitter transient period shall be shorter than the values listed in the minimum requirement table 6.10.2.2-1.
