6 Reference test methods
3GPP51.010-1Mobile Station (MS) conformance specificationPart 1: Conformance specificationTS
6.1 General
Annex 1 gives reference test conditions to be used throughout the present document, unless otherwise specified. It consists of a part on general conditions, and a part on normal and extreme test conditions.
Unless otherwise specified, tests are run using the normal test conditions.
If a test is to be run using the extreme test conditions then this is identified in the test description.
For all tests, the MS is connected to the SS. This connection, unless otherwise specified, is to the permanent antenna connector for a MS which is equipped with one, or via the temporary antenna connector defined in annex 1, GC7, for a MS with an integral antenna, and not normally having a means of connecting an external antenna.
6.2 Choice of frequencies in the frequency hopping mode
For the tests using frequency hopping, 38 frequencies are used over:
GSM 850: a 21 MHz band;
P-GSM 900: a 21 MHz band;
E-GSM 900: a [21] MHz band;
R-GSM 900: a 23 MHz band;
ER-GSM 900: a 23 MHz band;
DCS 1 800: a 75 MHz band;
PCS 1 900: a 60 MHz band.
For the tests using frequency hopping, 14 frequencies are used over:
GSM 450: a 6.4 MHz band;
GSM 480: a 6.4 MHz band.
For the tests using frequency hopping, 24 frequencies are used over:
GSM 710: a 12.4 MHz band.
GSM 750: a 12.4 MHz band.
T-GSM 810: a 12.4 MHz band.

NOTE: The range of frequencies available during tests under simulated fading conditions is restricted by the fading simulator bandwidth.
For the tests using frequency hopping on packet data channels a reduced number of frequencies shall be used for certain bands.

6.3 "Ideal" radio conditions
In the present document the following conditions are referenced by the term "ideal" radio conditions:
– No multipath conditions.
MS power control level:
DCS 1 800, PCS 1 900: |
3 |
|
All other bands |
7 |
|
RF level to MS: |
63 dBµVemf( ) |
(not tests in subclauses 14.4, 14.5 or 18.1.4) |
RF level to MS: |
20 dB above reference sensitivity level ( ) |
(subclauses 14.4 and 14.5) |
RF level to MS: |
28 dBµVemf( ) |

6.4 Standard test signals
The standard test signals C0, C1, I0, I1 and I2 as used in the present document, are defined in annex 5.
6.5 Power (control) levels
In the present document, except where explicitly stated otherwise, if the MS is commanded to its minimum power (control) level, the SS is allowed to signal power control level 15 for DCS 1 800 and PCS 1 900 and 19 for all other bands. Furthermore, except where explicitly stated otherwise, if the MS is commanded to its maximum power (control) level, and if MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH is set to the maximum output power of the MS, the SS is allowed to signal the power control level corresponding to the maximum output power for the power class of the MS. For a GSM 450, GSM 480 or GSM 900 power class 2 MS, the SS is allowed to signal power control level 2.
