5.1 General

38.521-23GPPNRPart 2: Range 2 StandaloneRadio transmission and receptionRelease 17TSUser Equipment (UE) conformance specification

The channel arrangements presented in this clause are based on the operating bands and channel bandwidths defined in the present release of specifications.

NOTE: Other operating bands and channel bandwidths may be considered in future releases.

Requirements throughout the RF specifications are in many cases defined separately for different frequency ranges (FR). The frequency ranges in which NR can operate according to this version of the specification are identified as described in Table 5.1-1.

Table 5.1-1: Definition of frequency ranges

Frequency range designation	Corresponding frequency range
FR1	410 MHz – 7125 MHz
FR2	24250 MHz – 52600 MHz

This test specification covers FR2 operating bands.

For the purpose of derivation of Maximum Test System Uncertainty (MTSU) in Annex F, the frequency range FR2 is further divided into sub-ranges as shown in Table 5.1-2. These FR2 sub-ranges are also referred to as part of definition of test tolerance within the individual test cases.

Table 5.1-2: Definition of frequency sub-ranges

Frequency sub-range designation		Corresponding frequency range
FR2a		23.45 GHz ≤ f < 32.125 GHz
FR2b		32.125 GHz ≤ f < 40.8 GHz
FR2c		40.8GHz ≤ f < 44.3GHz
FR2d		44.3 GHz ≤ f < 49.0 GHz
