5 Receiver characteristics
3GPP45.005GSM/EDGE Radio transmission and receptionTS
In this clause, the requirements are given in terms of power levels at the antenna connector of the receiver. Equipment with integral antenna may be taken into account by converting these power level requirements into field strength requirements, assuming a 0 dBi gain antenna. This means that the tests on equipment on integral antenna will consider fields strengths (E) related to the power levels (P) specified, by the following formula (derived from the formula E = P + 20logF(MHz) + 77,2):
assuming F = 405 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 129,3 for T-GSM 380 and T-GSM 410;
assuming F = 460 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 130,5 for GSM 400;
assuming F = 722 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 134,4 for GSM 710;
assuming F = 770 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 134,9 for GSM 750;
assuming F = 831 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 135,6 for T-GSM 810;
assuming F = 859 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 135,9 for GSM 850;
assuming F = 918 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 136,2 for ER-GSM 900;
assuming F = 925 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 136,5 for GSM 900;
assuming F = 1 795 MHz : E (dBµV/m) = P (dBm) + 142,3 for DCS 1 800;
assuming F = 1 920 MHz : E (dBuV/m) = P (dBm) + 142,9 for PCS 1 900.
Static propagation conditions are assumed in all cases, for both wanted and unwanted signals. For subclauses 5.1 and 5.2, values given in dBm are indicative, and calculated assuming a 50 ohms impedance.
NOTE: From a system perspective the over the air antenna performance is relevant. To determine the MS over the air performance the Total Radiated Sensitivity has been defined. Its definition can be found in 3GPP TS 25.144, and a test method is specified in 3GPP TS 34.114.

5.1.2 Requirements for MS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1c, and 1e, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4, shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver:
‑ for all MS, a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK) at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2;
‑ a continuous, static sine wave signal at a level as in the table 5.1-2a, 5.1-3 or 5.1-4 and at a frequency (f) which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz.
with the following exceptions, called spurious response frequencies:
a) GSM 900 MS, ER-GSM 900, GSM 850 MS and GSM 700 MS: in band, for a maximum of six occurrences (which if grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group);
DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 MS: in band, for a maximum of twelve occurrences (which if grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group);
GSM 400 MS: in band, for a maximum of three occurrences;
b) out of band, for a maximum of 24 occurrences (which if below f0 and grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group).
where the above performance shall be met when the continuous sine wave signal (f) is set to a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm).
DLMC configuration
In case of DLMC configuration, when MS is configured according to subclause 6.1a, the reference performance as specified in table 6.2-5 shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver:
– for GSM 850, GSM 900, DCS 1800 and PCS 1900 MS two useful signals, modulated with GMSK at frequencies fo and f1, located at
– the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing as defined in table 6a-1 when the blocking signal is located in the out-of-band frequency range defined in tables 5.1-1a, 5.1-1c, 5.1-1d and 5.1-1e.
– the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing and all lower carrier frequency spacings according to table 5.1-1i when the blocking signal is located in the in-band frequency range defined in tables 5.1-1a, 5.1-1c, 5.1-1d and 5.1-1e.
and at a signal level X dB above the input levels in table 1a, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2‑4, where X is specified in table 5.1‑5c;
In addition, for an MS indicating support for non-contiguous intra-band reception, and in case of DLMC configuration, the reference performance as specified in table 6.2-5 apply with the two useful signals at frequencies fo and f1 located at a larger frequency spacing than the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing.
‑ a blocking signal that is either
– a continuous, static sine wave signal at a frequency (f) which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz, when located between the useful signals, or when located in the out-of-band frequency range, and at a signal level as in table 5.1-5c or
– a static signal at a frequency (f) modulated with 5 MHz W-CDMA according to 3GPP TS 25.101 annex C.4, when located outside the useful signals and
– within the in-band frequency region, at an offset between the center frequency of the blocking signal and the useful signal of 2,7 MHz or more in steps of 5 MHz up to the edges of the in-band frequency band, and
– at a signal level as in table 5.1‑5c.
with the following exceptions, called spurious response frequencies:
a) GSM 900 MS and GSM 850 MS in band, for a maximum of one occurrence;
DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 MS in band, for a maximum of two occurrences;
b) out of band, for a maximum of 24 occurrences (which if grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group).
where the above performance shall be met when the blocking signal (f) is set to a level of 57+X dBµV (emf) (-56+X dBm) in the inband frequency range and 70 dBµV (emf) (‑43 dBm) in the out-of-band frequency range.
When more than one useful signal frequency is considered, the maximum number of allowed occurrences for the spurious response frequencies applies separately to each useful signal frequency.
In case of DLMC configuration, requirements for inter-band reception are only defined in the out-of-band frequency region for band combinations (GSM 850, PCS1900) and (GSM 900, DCS 1800). In this case, the requirements for each frequency band apply using one useful signal in each band.
An MS indicating support for DLMC shall in addition to DLMC specific performance requirements, comply to the requirements in Table 5.1-2a and Table 5.1-4.
NOTE: For testing effort reasons, in case of DLMC configuration, and a MS indicating support for DLMC inter-band reception, it may be considered sufficient to perform the test in the out-of-band frequency range only for the inter-band reception configuration.

5.1.3 Requirements for BTS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1b and 1d, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4,shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver:
– for BTS excluding multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver on all frequency bands, excluding normal BTS on the GSM 700 and GSM 850 bands, and excluding MXM 850 and MXM 1900 normal BTS, a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK), at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2.
– for normal BTS and multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver on the GSM 700 and GSM 850 bands and MXM 850 and MXM 1900 normal BTS, a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK), symbol rate and specified pulse shaping filter, at frequency fo, 1 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2.
– for multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver on all frequency bands excluding multicarrier BTS on the GSM 700 and GSM 850 bands, a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK), at frequency fo, at a signal level according to table 5.1-2a.2 above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2
– a continuous, static sine wave signal at a level as in the table 5.1-2a below and at a frequency (f) which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz. For normal BTS and multicarrier BTS on the GSM 700 and GSM 850 bands, and MXM 850 and MXM 1900 normal BTS at inband frequency offsets 3 000 kHz this signal is GMSK modulated by any 148‑bit sequence of the 511‑bit pseudo random bit sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4,
with the following exceptions, called spurious response frequencies:
a) GSM 900 BTS, ER-GSM 900 BTS, GSM 850 BTS, GSM 700 BTS MXM 850 BTS,: in band, for a maximum of six occurrences (which if grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group);
DCS 1 800, PCS 1 900 BTS and MXM 1900 BTS: in band, for a maximum of twelve occurrences (which if grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group);
GSM 400 BTS: in band, for a maximum of three occurrences;
b) out of band, for a maximum of 24 occurrences (which if below f0 and grouped shall not exceed three contiguous occurrences per group).
where the above performance shall be met when the continuous sine wave signal (f) is set to a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm).
If more than one wanted signal frequency is considered, the maximum number of allowed occurrences for the spurious response frequencies applies separately to each wanted signal frequency.
In case of multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver the requirements apply when up to the maximum number of supported useful, modulated input signals with equal power level, at least separated by minimum carrier frequency spacing, is simultaneously received within the declared maximum Base Station RF bandwidth.
NOTE: For testing reasons, a MXM 1900 normal BTS fulfilling the PCS 1900 normal BTS requirements in this paragraph may be considered fulfilling the requirements for MXM 1900 normal BTS.

More stringent requirements apply in other frequency bands when co-location capability is declared for any band(s), see table 5.1-5a. NOTE 4: For a MS in DLMC configuration, the requirements only apply – whenever the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing only allows for a single carrier to be received in a given radio block period, see 3GPP TS 45.002. – when fallback to single carrier reception is performed, see 3GPP TS 45.002. – when PTCCH/D is being received. |

NOTE 1: f refers to the interfering blocker signal and fo refers to the wanted signal being considered. In case of more than one wanted signal being considered fo refers to each wanted signal. NOTE 2: For inband requirements and frequency offsets 800 kHz |f‑fo |, the performance according to table 5.1-2a.2 shall be met at an input level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2.

5.2 AM suppression characteristics
5.2.1 Requirements for MS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1c and 1e, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4, shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver.
– A useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK) and symbol rate, at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2. In case of DLMC configuration, two useful signals at frequencies f0 and f1, which are located at maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing and with signal level 3 dB above input level for reference performance.
‑ A single frequency (f), in the relevant receive band, | f‑fo | > 6 MHz, which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz, a GSM TDMA signal modulated in GMSK and by any 148‑bit sequence of the 511‑bit pseudo random bit sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4, at a level as defined in table 5.2-6. The interferer shall have one timeslot active and the frequency shall be at least 2 channels separated from any identified spurious response. The transmitted bursts shall be synchronized to but delayed in time between 61 and 86 bit periods relative to the bursts of the wanted signal. In case of DLMC configuration when more than one useful signal is considered, the interferer is located between the useful signals at | f‑fo | > 6 MHz, and | f‑f1 | > 6 MHz respectively, whenever possible, at a level as defined in table 5.2-6. Exceptions apply in case the MS has not indicated support for non-contiguous intra-band reception, and the maximum supported DLMC carrier frequency spacing is not sufficient to fulfil the above conditions. In this case, the above performance shall be fulfilled for the useful signals:
– at fo for | f‑fo | > 6 MHz and | f‑f1 | ≤ 6 MHz, and,
– at f1 for | f‑fo | ≤ 6 MHz and | f‑f1 | > 6 MHz
NOTE: When testing this requirement, a notch filter may be necessary to ensure that the co‑channel performance of the receiver is not compromised.
5.2.2 Requirements for BTS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1b and 1d, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4, shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver.
– A useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK), at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2. In case of multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver the requirements also apply when up to the maximum number of supported useful, modulated (GMSK or 8PSK) input signals, at least separated by minimum carrier frequency spacing, with equal power level is simultaneously received within the declared maximum Base Station RF bandwidth.
‑ A single frequency (f), in the relevant receive band, | f‑fo | > 6 MHz, which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz, a GSM TDMA signal modulated in GMSK and by any 148‑bit sequence of the 511‑bit pseudo random bit sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4, at a level as defined in table 5.2-6. The interferer shall have one timeslot active and the frequency shall be at least 2 channels separated from any identified spurious response. The transmitted bursts shall be synchronized to but delayed in time between 61 and 86 bit periods relative to the bursts of the wanted signal.
NOTE: When testing this requirement, a notch filter may be necessary to ensure that the co‑channel performance of the receiver is not compromised.

5.3 Intermodulation characteristics
5.3.1 Requirements for MS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1c and 1e, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4, shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver:
‑ a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK or 8-PSK) at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2;
‑ a continuous, static sine wave signal at frequency f1 and a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm):
‑ for small MSs on the GSM 400, GSM 900, ER-GSM 900, GSM 850 and GSM 700 frequency bands, and DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 MS this value is relaxed to 64 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑49 dBm);
‑ for the DCS 1 800 class 3 MS this value is relaxed to 68 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑45 dBm);
‑ any 148‑bits subsequence of the 511‑bits pseudo‑random sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4 GMSK modulating a signal at frequency f2, and a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm):
‑ for small MSs on the GSM 400, GSM 900, ER-GSM 900, GSM 850 and GSM 700 frequency bands, and DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 MS this value is relaxed to 64 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑49 dBm);
‑ for the DCS 1 800 class 3 MS this value is relaxed to 68 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑45 dBm);
such that f0 = 2f1 ‑ f2 and |f2‑f1 | = 800 kHz.
NOTE: For subclauses 5.2 and 5.3 instead of any 148‑bits subsequence of the 511‑bits pseudo‑random sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4, it is also allowed to use a more random pseudo‑random sequence.
5.3.2 Requirements for BTS
The reference sensitivity performance as specified in tables 1, 1a, 1b and 1d, adjusted by the correction factors of table 6.2-4, shall be met when the following signals are simultaneously input to the receiver:
‑ a useful signal, modulated with the relevant supported modulation (GMSK, 8-PSK), symbol rate and specified pulse shaping filter, at frequency fo, 3 dB above the reference sensitivity level or input level for reference performance, whichever applicable, as specified in subclause 6.2;
‑ a continuous, static sine wave signal at frequency f1 and a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm):
‑ for DCS 1 800, PCS 1 900 and MXM 1900 BTS this value is relaxed to 64 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑49 dBm);
‑ any 148‑bits subsequence of the 511‑bits pseudo‑random sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4 GMSK modulating a signal at frequency f2, and a level of 70 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑43 dBm):
‑ and DCS 1 800, PCS 1 900 and MXM 1900 BTS this value is relaxed to 64 dBµV (emf) (i.e. ‑49 dBm);
such that f0 = 2f1 ‑ f2 and |f2‑f1 | = 800 kHz.
For a multicarrier BTS equipped with multicarrier receiver, interfering signals shall be adjusted by 0 dB, +2 dB or +5 dB for the Wide Area, Medium Range and Local Area classes, respectively.
NOTE: For subclauses 5.2 and 5.3 instead of any 148‑bits subsequence of the 511‑bits pseudo‑random sequence, defined in CCITT Recommendation O.153 fascicle IV.4, it is also allowed to use a more random pseudo‑random sequence.
5.4 Spurious emissions
The spurious emissions for a BTS receiver, measured in the conditions specified in subclause 4.3.1, shall be no more than:
‑ 2 nW (‑57 dBm) in the frequency band 9 kHz to 1 GHz;
‑ 20 nW (‑47 dBm) in the frequency band 1 GHz to 12.75 GHz.
NOTE: For radiated spurious emissions for the BTS, the specifications currently only apply to the frequency band 30 MHz to 4 GHz. The specification and method of measurement outside this band are under consideration.
