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 Δf_OBUE. 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 Δf_OBUE above and Δf_OBUE below each band. Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.

The values of Δf_OBUE are defined in tables 6.5.1-1 and 6.5.1-2 for the NR operating bands.

Table 6.5.1-1: Maximum offset of OBUE outside the downlink operating band of repeater type 1-C DL

Repeater type	Operating band characteristics	Δf_OBUE (MHz)
Repeater type 1-C	F_DL,high – F_DL,low < 200 MHz	10
	200 MHz ≤ F_DL,high – F_DL,low ≤ 900 MHz	40

Table 6.5.1-2: Maximum offset of OBUE outside the uplink operating band of repeater 1-C UL

Repeater type	Operating band characteristics	Δf_OBUE (MHz)
Repeater type 1-C	F_UL,high – F_UL,low < 200 MHz	10
	200 MHz ≤ F_UL,high – F_UL,low ≤ 900 MHz	40

6.5.2 Adjacent Channel Leakage Power Ratio (ACLR)

6.5.2.1 Definition and applicability

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 6.5.2.5 shall apply in Gaps between passbands for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.5-3, while the CACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.5 shall apply in gaps between passbands for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.5-4 or 6.5.2.5.4a.

For a multi-band connector, the ACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.5 shall apply in inter-passband gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.5-3, while the CACLR requirement in clause 6.5.2.5 shall apply in inter-passband gaps for the frequency ranges defined in table 6.5.2.5-4 or 6.5.2.5.4a.

The requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON state.

6.5.2.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirement applies per single-band connector, or per multi-band connector supporting transmission in the operating band.

The minimum requirement in TS 38.106 [x], clause 6.5.2.2.

6.5.2.3 Test purpose

To verify that the adjacent channel leakage power ratio requirement shall be met as specified by the minimum requirement.

6.5.2.4 Method of test

Test environment: Normal; see annex B.2.

RF channels to be tested for single carrier: B, M and T; see clause 4.9.1.

6.5.2.4.2 Procedure

1) Connect the single-band connector or multi-band connector under test to measurement equipment as shown in annex D.1.1. All connectors not under test shall be terminated.

The measurement device characteristics shall be:

– Measurement filter bandwidth: defined in clause 6.5.2.5.

– Detection mode: true RMS voltage or true average power.

2) Set the input signal to the representative connectors under test according to the applicable test configuration in clause 4.8 using the corresponding test models NR-FR1‑TM 1.1 in clause 4.9.2 at the input power intended to produce the maximum rated output power, P_in,p,AC+ 10dB.

3) Measure ACLR for the frequency offsets both side of channel frequency as specified in clause 6.5.2.5. In multiple carrier case only offset frequencies below the lowest and above the highest carrier frequency used shall be measured.

4) For the ACLR requirement applied inside sub-block gap for non-contiguous spectrum operation, or inside Inter passband gap for multi-band operation:

a) Measure ACLR inside sub-block gap or Inter passband gap as specified in clause 6.5.2.5, if applicable.

b) Measure CACLR inside sub-block gap or Inter passband gap as specified in clause 6.5.2.5, if applicable.

5) Repeat the test with the channel set-up according to NR-FR1-TM 1.2 in clause 4.9.2.

In addition, for multi-band connectors, the following steps shall apply:

6) For a multi-band connectors and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved operating band where single band test configurations and test models shall apply with no carrier activated in the other operating band.

6.5.2.5 Test requirements

The ACLR is defined with a square filter of bandwidth equal to the transmission bandwidth configuration of the transmitted signal (BW_Config) centred on the assigned channel frequency and a filter centred on the adjacent channel frequency according to the tables below.

The ACLR shall be higher than the value specified in table 6.5.2.5‑1 for repeater type 1-C for DL and UL for Wide Area class.

For repeater type 1-C nominal repeater channel bandwidth is calculated as min(100MHz, BW_passband). 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 BW_passband.

For repeater type 1-C for DL and for UL for WA class, the ACLR (CACLR) absolute minimum requirements in table 6.5.2.5-2, 6.5.2.5-5 or the ACLR (CACLR) limits in table 6.5.2.5-1, 6.5.2.5-3 or 6.5.2.5-4, whichever is less stringent, shall apply for each antenna connector.

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 Definition and applicability

Unless otherwise stated, the operating band unwanted emission (OBUE) limits for repeater type 1-C DL are defined from Δf_OBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band up to Δf_OBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band. The values of Δf_OBUE 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 Δf_OBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported uplink operating band up to Δf_OBUE above the highest frequency of each supported uplink operating band. The values of Δf_OBUE 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 passband. 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_offset_max is the offset to the frequency Δf_OBUE outside the downlink operating band of repeater type 1-C DL and uplink operating band of repeater type 1-C UL, where Δf_OBUE is defined in tables 6.5.1-1 and 6.5.1-2.

– Δf_max is equal to f_offset_max minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

For a multi-band connector inside any inter-passband gaps with W_gap < 2*Δf_OBUE, 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.

– 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_offset_max is equal to the inter-passband gap minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δf_max is equal to f_offset_max 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*Δf_OBUE, f_offset_max shall be the offset to the frequency Δf_OBUE 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 (Δf_max), shall apply from Δf_OBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to Δf_OBUEMHz 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* Δf_OBUE, f_offsetmax shall be the offset to the frequency Δf_OBUE 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 Δf_OBUE MHz below the lowest frequency, up to Δf_OBUE MHz above the highest frequency of the supported uplink operating band without any carrier transmitted.

In addition, inside any gap between passband 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 passband.

– 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_offset_max is equal to the gap between passband bandwidth minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

– Δf_max is equal to f_offset_max minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

6.5.3.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirement applies per single-band connector, or per multi-band connector supporting transmission in the operating band.

The minimum requirement is defined in TS 38.106 [x], clause 6.5.3.2

6.5.3.3 Test purpose

This test measures the emissions close to the assigned channel bandwidth of the wanted signal, while the transmitter is in operation.

6.5.3.4 Method of test

6.5.3.4.1 Initial conditions

Test environment: Normal; see annex B.2.

RF channels to be tested for single carrier: B, M and T; see clause 4.9.1.

6.5.3.4.2 Procedure

1) Connect the single-band connector or multi-band connector under test to measurement equipment as shown in annex D.1.1. All connectors not under test shall be terminated.

As a general rule, the resolution bandwidth of the measuring equipment should be equal to the measurement bandwidth. However, to improve measurement accuracy, sensitivity, efficiency and avoiding e.g. carrier leakage, 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.

The measurement device characteristics shall be:

– Detection mode: True RMS.

3) Step the centre frequency of the measurement filter in contiguous steps and measure the emission within the specified frequency ranges with the specified measurement bandwidth. For connector under test declared to operate in multiple bands or non-contiguous spectrum, the emission within the Inter passband Bandwidth or sub-block gap shall be measured using the specified measurement bandwidth from the closest RF Bandwidth or sub block edge.

4) Repeat the test for the remaining test cases, with the channel set-up according to NR-FR1-TM 1.2.

In addition, for multi-band connectors, the following steps shall apply:

5) For a multi-band connectors and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved operating band where single band test configurations and test models shall apply with no carrier activated in the other operating band.

In addition to the requirements in clauses 6.5.3.4.1, 6.5.3.4.2, 6.5.3.4.3 and 6.5.3.4.4, the repeater type 1-C may have to comply with the applicable emission limits established by FCC Title 47 [10], when deployed in regions where those limits are applied, and under the conditions declared by the manufacturer.

6.5.3.4.5.2 Protection of DTT

In certain regions the following requirement may apply for protection of DTT. For repeater type 1-C operating in Band n20, the level of emissions in the band 470-790 MHz, measured in an 8 MHz filter bandwidth on centre frequencies F_filter according to table 6.5.3.4.5.2-1, a minimum requirements P_EM,N is declared by the manufacturer. This requirement applies in the frequency range 470-790 MHz even though part of the range falls in the spurious domain.

Table 6.5.3.4.5.2-1: Declared emissions minimum requirement for protection of DTT

Filter centre frequency, F_filter	*Measurement bandwidth*	*Declared emission minimum requirement* (dBm)**
F_filter = 8*N + 306 (MHz); 21 ≤ N ≤ 60	8 MHz	P_EM,N

Note: The regional requirement is defined in terms of EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power), 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 repeater needed to verify compliance with the regional requirement. Compliance with the regional requirement can be determined using the method outlined in TS 36.104 [20], annex F.

For repeater type 1-C, the transmitter spurious emission limits shall apply from 9 kHz to 12.75 GHz, excluding the frequency range from Δf_OBUE below the lowest frequency of each supported downlink operating band, up to Δf_OBUE above the highest frequency of each supported downlink operating band, where the Δf_OBUE 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 5^th 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 Δf_OBUE around the band is excluded from the transmitter spurious emissions requirement.

The requirements shall apply whatever the type of transmitter considered (single carrier or multi-carrier). It applies for all transmission modes foreseen by the manufacturer’s specification.

Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).

For Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, the sum of the spurious emissions over all antenna connectors for Repeater type 1-C shall not exceed the minimum requirements defined in clause 6.5.4.5.

6.5.4.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirement applies per single-band connector, or per multi-band connector supporting transmission in the operating band.

The minimum requirement is defined in TS 38.106 [x], clause 6.5.4.2.

6.5.4.5.2 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.

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 6.5.4.5.2-1 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 6.5.4.5.2-1 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 6.5.4.5.2 -1 do not apply for the Δf_OBUE frequency range immediately outside the downlink operating band. Emission limits for this excluded frequency range may be covered by local or regional requirements.

NOTE 2: Table 6.5.4.5.2 -1 assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges 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 Δf_OBUE below the lowest repeater transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band and Δf_OBUE above the highest repeater transmitter frequency of the downlink operating band. Δf_OBUE is defined in clause 6.5.1.

The spurious emission minimum requirements for this requirement are:

Frequency range	*minimum requirements*	*Measurement Bandwidth*	Note
1884.5 – 1915.7 MHz	-41 dBm	300 kHz	Applicable when co-existence with PHS system operating in 1884.5 – 1915.7 MHz

In certain regions, the following requirement may apply to NR repeater operating in Band n50 and n75 within the 1432 – 1452 MHz, and in Band n51 and Band n76. The minimum requirements are specified in Table 6.5.4.5.2-3. This requirement is also applicable at the frequency range from Δf_OBUE below the lowest frequency of the repeater downlink operating band up to Δf_OBUE above the highest frequency of the repeater downlink operating band.

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.

NOTE 1: As defined in the scope for spurious emissions in this clause, the co-location requirements in table 6.5.4.5.3-1 do not apply for the frequency range extending Δf_OBUE 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 6.5.4.5.3-1 assumes that two operating bands, where the corresponding transmit and receive frequency ranges 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 Definition and applicability

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 6.5.4.5.

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 6.5.5.5.

6.5.5.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirements are in TS 38.106 [x], clause 6.5.5.2.

6.5.5.3 Test purpose

The test purpose is to verify the ability of the repeater to limit the interference caused by receiver spurious emissions to other systems.

6.5.5.4 Method of test

6.5.5.4.1 Initial conditions

Test environment: Normal; see annex B.2.

RF channels to be tested for single carrier: M; see clause 4.9.1.

6.5.5.4.2 Procedure

The minimum requirement is applied to all connectors under test,

1) Connect the connector under test to measurement equipment as shown in annex D.9.

2) Ensure the transmitter is OFF.

3) Set the measurement equipment parameters as specified in table 6.5.5.5-1.

4) Measure the spurious emissions over each frequency range described in table 6.5.5.5-1.

In addition, for a multi-band connector, the following steps shall apply:

5) For multi-band connector and single band tests, repeat the steps above per involved band where single band test configurations and test models shall apply with no carrier activated in the other band.

6.5.5.5 Test 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 6.5.5.5-1.

NOTE 4: The frequency range from Δf_OBUE below the lowest frequency of the repeater transmitter operating band to Δf_OBUE above the highest frequency of the repeater transmitter operating band may be excluded from the requirement. Δf_OBUE is defined in clause 6.5.1. For multi-band connectors, the exclusion applies for all supported operating bands.

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 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.

6.6.2 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 [x] 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 [x] 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.

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.

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 Repeater to maintain the wanted frequency free of internally created interference.

The measurements shall apply to both uplink and downlink paths of the Repeater, at maximum gain.

6.7.1.2 Minimum requirements

The minimum requirement is in TS 38.106 [x] clauses 6.7.1.2, 6.7.2.2 and 6.7.3.2.

2) Measure the increase in output power in the passband when the interferer is applied.

3) Repeat the measurement for the opposite path of the Repeater.

6.7.1.5 Test requirements

6.7.1.5.1 General requirement

The intermodulation performance should be met when the following signals are applied to the NR Repeater:

Table 6.7.1.5.1-1: Input intermodulation requirement

1,0 MHz	-40 dBm	2 CW carriers	1 MHz

f₁ offset is the offset from the channel edge frequency of the first or last channel in the passband of the closer carrier.

For the parameters specified in Table 6.7.1.5.1-1, the power in the pass band shall not increase by more than [10+TT] dB at the output of the Repeater as measured in the centre of the pass band, compared to the level obtained without interfering signals applied.

6.7.1.5.2 Co-location with BS/Repeater in other systems

This additional input intermodulation requirement may be applied for the protection of NR repeater receivers when GSM, CDMA, UTRA, E-UTRA, NR BS or repeater operating in a different frequency band are co-located with a NR repeater.

The following requirement applies for interfering signals depending on the repeaters passband.

This requirement applies to the uplink and downlink of the repeater. If the BS side is declared to meet co-location requirements, then it should meet input intermodulation co-location requirements for the downlink. If the UE side is declared to meet co-location requirements, then it should meet input intermodulation co-location requirements for the uplink.

NOTE 1: The co-location requirements in Table 6.7.1.5.2-1 and 6.7.1.5.2-2 do not apply when the Repeaters passband frequency range is adjacent to the frequency range of the co-location requirement in the Table 6.7.1.5.2-1 or Table 6.7.1.5.2-2. 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 Repeater-BS minimum coupling loss. However, there are certain site-engineering solutions that can be used. These techniques are addressed in TR 25.942 [5].

NOTE 2: The Table 6.7.1.5.2-1 and Table 6.7.1.5.2-2 assumes that two operating bands, where the corresponding BS or Repeater transmit and receive frequency ranges 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.

For the parameters specified in table Table 6.7.1.5.2-1 and 6.7.1.5.2-2, the power in the passband shall not increase with more than [10 + TT] dB B at the output of the repeater as measured in the centre of the passband, compared to the level obtained without interfering signals applied.

6.7.1.5.3 Co-existence with other systems

This input intermodulation existence requirement may be applied for the protection of NR repeater receivers when GSM, CDMA, UTRA, E-UTRA, NR BS or repeater operating in another frequency band co-exist with a NR repeater.

The intermodulation performance should be met when the signals in Table 6.7.1.5.3-1 are applied to the Repeater:

Table 6.7.1.5.3-1: input intermodulation requirement for NR repeater when co-exist with BS/repeater in other non-overlapping frequency bands

Frequency range of interfering signal	Interfering signal mean power (dBm)	Type of interfering signals	Measurement bandwidth
Frequency range of co-existence system operating band	-15	2 CW carriers	1MHz
NOTE 1: All the interfering signals should be limited into the frequency ranges that are either X MHz higher than F_UL,highor X MHz lower than F_UL,low, where X equals to 20MHz when F_UL,high– F_UL,low is not larger than 200MHz, otherwise X equals to 60MHz

NOTE 1: The co-existence requirements in Table 6.7.1.5.3-1 do not apply when the repeaters pass band frequency range is adjacent to the frequency range of the co-existence requirement in the Table 6.7.1.5.3-1. The current state-of-the-art technology does not allow a single generic solution for co-existence.

NOTE 2: The Table 6.7.1.5.3-1 assumes that two operating bands, where the frequency ranges 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.

For the parameters specified in Table 6.7.1.5.3-1, the power in the pass band shall not increase with more than [10 + TT] dB at the output of the repeater as measured in the centre of the pass band, compared to the level obtained without interfering signals applied.

6.8 Output intermodulation

6.8.1 Definition and applicability

6.8.1.1 General

The output intermodulation requirement is a measure of the capability of the repeater to inhibit the generation of signals in its non-linear elements caused by presence of the wanted signal and an interfering signal reaching the repeater via the output port. The requirement shall apply during the transmitter ON period and the transmitter transient period.

The requirement shall apply to the uplink and downlink of the Repeater.

For repeater type 1-C, the output intermodulation level is the power of the intermodulation products when an interfering signal is injected into the antenna connector.

6.8.1.2 Minimum requirements

The minimum requirement is in TS 38.106 [x] clause 6.8.2.

6.8.1.3 Test purpose

The test purpose is to verify the ability of the repeater to restrict the generation of intermodulation products in the presence of a subject signal on the repeater input and output ports, and an interfering signal applied at the repeater output port.

6.8.1.4 Method of test

6.8.1.4.1 Initial conditions

Test environment: normal; see Annex A.2

A measurement system set-up is shown in Annex D.

1) Connect a signal generator to the input port of the Repeater (wanted signal). Connect a signal generator to the output port (interfering signal) and make sure the signal generator power is directed to the repeater output port.

2) Detection mode: True RMS.

6.8.1.4.2 Procedure

1) Set the Repeater to maximum gain.

2) Set the signal generator at the repeater input port (wanted signal) to generate a signal in accordance to test model R-FR1-TM1.1, with a bandwidth as defined in Table 6.8.1.5.1-1, at the level which produce the manufacturer specified maximum output power at maximum gain.

3) Set the signal generator at the repeater output port (interference signal) to generate a signal in accordance to test model R-FR1-TM1.1, with a bandwidth, level and frequency offset as defined in Table 6.8.1.5.1-1.

4) Measure the emission at the specified frequencies with specified measurement bandwidth as described in the test requirements and note that the measured value does not exceed the specified value. Measurements in the band of the interfering signal shall be excluded. The measurements can be limited to the power of all third and fifth order intermodulation products.

5) Repeat the test from step 3 on until all interfering signal centre frequency offsets in Table 6.8.1.5.1-1 has been tested, but exclude interfering signal frequencies that are outside of the allocated frequency band for NR downlink.

6) For repeater supporting Band n41 and n90 operation in Japan, repeat the test using wanted and interfering signal parameters as defined in Table 6.8.1.5.2-1.

NOTE: As a general rule 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 can 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.

6.8.1.5 Test requirements

6.10 Transmit ON/OFF power

6.10.1 Transmitter OFF power

6.10.1.1 Definition and applicability

Transmit OFF power requirements apply only to TDD operation of the repeater. The requirement applies to both downlink and uplink of the repeater.

Transmitter OFF power is defined as the mean power measured over 70/N us filtered with a square filter of bandwidth equal to the passband bandwidth of the repeater (BW_passband) centred on the assigned channel frequency during the transmitter OFF state. 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

The minimum requirement for repeater type 1-C is in TS 38.106 [x], clause 6.10.1.2.

6.10.1.3 Test purpose

The purpose of this test is to verify the transmitter OFF power is within the limits of the minimum requirements.

6.10.1.4 Method of test

Requirement is tested together with transmitter transient period, as described in clause 6.10.2.4.

6.10.1.5 Test requirements

The conformance testing of transmit OFF power is included in the conformance testing of transmitter transient period; therefore, see clause 6.10.2.5 for test requirements.

6.10.2 Transmitter transient period

6.10.2.1 Definition and applicability

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 state, transmitter OFF state and transmitter transient period

For repeater type 1-C this requirement shall be applied at the antenna connector supporting transmission in the operating band.

For a repeater that is not declared to be a long delay repeater (D.15), the beginning and end point of downlink and uplink bursts are referenced to the slot timing at the input.

For a repeater that is declared to be a long delay repeater (D.15), the beginning and end point of downlink and uplink bursts are referenced to the slot timing at the input plus the declared repeater delay.

6.10.2.2 Minimum requirement

The minimum requirement is the same as for for BS type 1-C in TS 38.104 [2], clause 6.10.2.2.

6.10.2.3 Test purpose

The purpose of this test is to verify the transmitter transient periods are within the limits of the minimum requirements.

6.10.2.4 Method of test

6.10.2.4.1 Initial conditions

Test environment:

– normal; see annex B.2.

RF channels to be tested for single carrier:

– M; see clause 4.9.1.

6.10.2.4.2 Procedure

The minimum requirement is applied to all antenna connectors, they may be tested one at a time or multiple antenna connectors may be tested in parallel as shown in annex D.1.1. Whichever method is used the procedure is repeated until all antenna connectors necessary to demonstrate conformance have been tested.

1) Connect antenna connector for input and output signals to measurement equipment as shown in annex D.1.1. All antenna connectors not under test shall be terminated.

2) Set the input signal to the representative connectors under test according to the applicable test configuration in clause 4.8 using the corresponding test models in clause 4.9.2 at the input power intended to produce the maximum rated output power, P_{rated,in, AC}+ 10dB.

3) Measure the mean power spectral density over 70/N μs filtered with a square filter of bandwidth equal to the RF bandwidth of the antenna connector centred on the central frequency of the RF bandwidth. 70/N μs average window centre is set from 35/N μs after end of one transmitter ON period + 10 μs to 35/N μs before start of next transmitter ON period – 10 μs. N = SCS/15, where SCS is Sub Carrier Spacing in kHz.

In addition, for multi-band connector(s), the following steps shall apply:

6.10.2.5 Test requirements

For repeater type 1-C downlink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -83 dBm/MHz per antenna connector for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0 GHz.

For repeater type 1-C downlink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -82.5 dBm/MHz per antenna connector for carrier frequency 3.0 GHz < f ≤ 6.0 GHz.

For repeater type 1-C uplink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -48dBm / (SCS*(12*N_RB+1)/1000) MHz per antenna connector, where SCS is Sub Carrier Spacing in kHz for carrier frequency f ≤ 3.0 GHz.

For repeater type 1-C uplink, the requirements for transmitter OFF power spectral density shall be less than -47.5dBm / (SCS*(12*N_RB+1)/1000) MHz per antenna connector, where SCS is Sub Carrier Spacing in kHz for carrier frequency 3.0 GHz < f ≤ 6.0 GHz.

For multi-band connector, the requirement is only applicable during the transmitter OFF period in all supported operating bands.
