6.6 Spurious emissions from the transmitter antenna connector
3GPP51.021Base Station System (BSS) equipment specificationRadio aspectsRelease 17TS
The test conditions for conducted emissions are defined separately for the BSS relevant transmit band, and elsewhere.
6.6.1 Conducted spurious emissions from the transmitter antenna connector, inside the BTS transmit band
6.6.1.1 Test Purpose
This test measures spurious emissions from the BSS transmitter antenna connector inside the BSS relevant transmit band, while one transmitter is in operation.
6.6.1.2 Test Case
i) For a BTS not belonging to the multicarrier BTS class
The BTS shall be configured with one TRX active at its maximum output power on all time slots. The test shall be performed at RF channels B, M and T. Slow frequency hopping shall be disabled.
NOTE: It may be necessary to take steps to ensure that emissions from other transmitters which are not active do not influence the results. This may be achieved by, for example, equipping the BTS with only one TRX or by muting the outputs of the transmitters to a greater degree than otherwise required in GSM 05.05 (ETS 300 577), 3GPP TS 05.05 or 3GPP TS 45.005.
The transmitter antenna connector shall be connected to a spectrum analyser or selective voltmeter with the same characteristic impedance. Peak hold shall be enabled. The power shall be measured.
For frequencies with an offset of 1.8 MHz f < 6 MHz from the carrier frequency, and which fall within the relevant TX band:
– The detecting device shall be configured with a resolution bandwidth of 30 kHz and a video bandwidth of approximately three times this value.
For frequencies with an offset of 6 MHz from the carrier frequency, and which fall within the relevant TX band:
– The detecting device shall be configured with a resolution bandwidth of 100 kHz and a video bandwidth of approximately three times this value.
ii) For a BTS belonging to the multicarrier BTS class
The test methods and conditions specified in clause 6.5.1.2 apply for configurations with one carrier active and declared maximum output power on all time slots. For BTS configurations with more than one carrier active, the test in subclause 6.12 shall be performed in addition.

6.6.2.1.2 Test Case
a) The BSS shall be configured with all transmitters active at their maximum output power on all time slots. If a TRX is designated as being a dedicated BCCH, it shall be allocated to RF channel M.

Slow frequency hopping shall be disabled.

The detecting device shall be configured with a resolution and video bandwidth of 100 kHz. The minimum sweep time shall be at least 75 ms and the response shall be averaged over 200 sweeps.

‑ for a GSM 900 BSS, the band 1710 MHz to 1785 MHz.
‑ for a DCS 1800 BSS, the band 880 MHz to 915 MHz.
e) The BSS shall be configured as in step a) except that each TRX which is not a dedicated BCCH shall transmit on full power on alternate time slots. The active timeslots should be the same for all TRXs. Either odd or even timeslots may be tested.
