1 Scope
The present document covers the assessment of UTRA TDD, UTRA FDD, E-UTRA, NR and Multi-Standard Radio
(MSR) Active Antenna Systems Base Stations in respect of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC).
NOTE 1: Whenever the AAS BS in single RAT UTRA operation, or AAS BS in MSR operation using UTRA is
referred in this specification, UTRA TDD and UTRA FDD shall be considered, unless otherwise stated.
NOTE 2: For NR, scope of this specification is limited to BS type 1-H and BS type 1-O. For EMC requirements of
the MSR BS for BS type 1-C, refer to TS 37.113 [4].
The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for
base stations in the following categories:
- Active Antenna System Base Station for UTRA TDD, UTRA FDD, E-UTRA, NR and MSR meeting the
conducted requirements of TS 37.105 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 37.145-1 [3],
- Active Antenna System Base Station for UTRA FDD, E-UTRA, NR and MSR meeting the OTA requirements of
3TS 37.105 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 37.145-2 [10].
The present document does not cover ancillary equipment requirements, where ancillary equipment is not incorporated
in the radio equipment and can be assessed on a stand-alone basis, as declared by the manufacturer. Ancillary
equipment EMC requirements are still applicable to the AAS BS and are covered by other EMC specifications in TS
25.113 [5], TS 36.113 [6], TS 37.113 [4] or TS 38.113 [30].
The present document does not specify test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for the
Narrow-Band Internet of Things (NB-IoT) in band, NB-IoT guard band, or standalone NB-IoT operation, for AAS BS
in single RAT E-UTRA operation as defined in TS 36.113 [6], or for AAS BS in MSR operation using E-UTRA as
defined in TS 37.113 [4].
The present document does not specify test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for Band 46
operation as it is not supported by AAS BS.
The scope of the present document is twofold:
- Requirement, procedures and values of a hybrid AAS BS with TAB connectors for every transceiver unit at the
transceiver array boundary (TAB), subject to conducted requirements,
NOTE 3: hybrid AAS BS in the single RAT NR operation is equivalent to BS type 1-H defined in NR BS
specification TS 38.104 [31].
- Requirements, procedures and values of an OTA AAS BS without TAB connectors and relying in the radiated
interface, subject to radiated requirements.
NOTE 4: OTA AAS BS in the single RAT NR operation is equivalent to BS type 1-O defined in NR BS
specification TS 38.104 [31].
The electromagnetic environment classification used in the present document refers to the residential, commercial and
light industrial environment classification used in IEC 61000-6-1 [7] and IEC 61000-6-3 [8].
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential,
commercial and light industrial environments. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any
location but with low probability of occurrence.

4 Test conditions
The equipment shall be tested in normal test environment defined in base station conformance testing specification
TS 37.145-1 [3], or TS 37.145-2 [10]. The test conditions shall be recorded in the test report.
For an AAS BS supporting more than one RAT, tests shall be performed with RATs activated according to the test
configurations in subclause 4.4. Tests shall be performed relating to each type of port and RIB, and need not be repeated
for each RAT if operating RATs are assessed simultaneously during the test.
For AAS BS supporting only single RAT operation only, tests relating to the antenna port(s) and RIBs shall be
performed for each supported RAT.
For AAS BS capable of multi-band operation, the requirements in the present document apply for each supported
operating band unless otherwise stated. Operating bands and RATs shall be activated according to the respective test
configurations in TS 25.113 [5], TS 36.113 [6], TS 37.113 [4], or TS 38.113 [30]. Tests shall be performed relating to
each type of port and RIB, and all RATs per band shall be assessed during the tests.
Requirements apply only for the declared operating band and corresponding Band Categories as per CSA and/or RCSA
capability sets and manufacturer's declarations of the AAS BS in TS 37.145-1 [3] and TS 37.145-2 [10].
The manufacturer shall declare the supported capability set(s) according to TS 37.145-1 [3] and TS 37.145-2 [10]. Tests
performed on an AAS BS according to a declared capability set(s) cover all single RAT and multi-RAT configurations
included in the declared capability set.
NOTE 1: TAB connector capability sets (CSA) for hybrid AAS BS are defined in TS 37.145-1 [3] and declared in
D6.12 declaration.
NOTE 2: Radiated capability sets (RCSA) for hybrid AAS BS and OTA AAS BS are defined in TS 37.145-2 [10]
and declared by D9.25 declaration.
Where the hybrid AAS BS has multiple TAB connectors which are declared to be equivalent then it is sufficient to
perform EMC tests on a single representative TAB connector. For the definition of the TAB connector equivalence
declaration (D6.70), refer to TS 37.145-1 [3].
EMC test shall not be performed with the AAS BS antenna array radiating, all TAB connectors shall be disconnected
from the radio distribution network (RDN)/antenna array as specified in TS 37.105 [2] and terminated in an appropriate
load impedance. For the description of the general AAS BS radio architecture and relations between the RDN/antenna
array and the Transceiver Array Boundary, refer to TR 37.842 [9].
Depending on RAT capability sets supported by the AAS BS, the following test conditions shall be referred and applied
for the BS test configurations:
- For AAS BS in single RAT UTRA operation the test conditions from TS 25.113 [5] apply.
- For AAS BS in single RAT E-UTRA operation the test conditions from TS 36.113 [6] apply.
- For AAS BS in single RAT NR operation the test conditions from TS 38.113 [30] apply.
- For AAS BS in MSR operation the test conditions from TS 37.113 [4] apply.
Whenever ports are considered for the emissions and immunity testing in the referred TS 25.113 [5], TS 36.113 [6] and
TS 37.113 [4] specifications, special considerations shall be taken to test conditions specification for OTA AAS BS due
to lack of antenna ports.
NOTE 3: The receiver exclusion bands defined in E-UTRA and MSR specifications for Band 46 operation are not
applicable for AAS BS, as the Band 46 operation is not supported by AAS BS.
NOTE 4: The NB-IoT operation is not supported by AAS BS.

The present document specifies the applicable test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for
base stations in the following categories:
- AAS BS for UTRA TDD, UTRA FDD, E-UTRA, NR and MSR meeting the conducted requirements of
TS 37.105 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 37.145-1 [3]. In this case, the EMC test
configuration are listed in tables 4.4-1, 4.4-3, 4.4-5, 4.4-7, 4.4-9, 4.4-11 respectively.
- AAS BS for UTRA FDD, E-UTRA, NR and MSR meeting the OTA requirements of TS 37.105 [2], with
conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 37.145-2 [10]. In this case, the EMC test configuration are
listed in table 4.4-2, 4.4-4, 4.4-6, 4.4-8, 4.4-10, 4.4-12 respectively.
The test configurations apply according to the declared RAT capability sets (i.e. CSA or RCSA) of the AAS BS
according to subclause 4.9 of TS 37.145-1 [3] and TS 37.145-2 [10] and the Band Category of the declared operating
band (i.e. BC1, BC2 or BC3).
The AAS BS test configurations are defined as ATCx in TS 37.145-1 [3] and ATCRx in TS 37.145-2[10],
subclause 4.11.
- For AAS BS declared to be capable of contiguous operation only, the test configuration(s) in tables 4.4-1, 4.4-2
and 4.4-3, 4.4-4 denoted by a "C" shall be used for testing.
- For AAS BS declared to be capable of contiguous and non-contiguous operation and where the parameters in the
manufacture's declaration according to subclause 4.10 of TS 37.145-1 [3] and TS 37.145-2 [10] are identical for
contiguous and non-contiguous operation, the test configurations denoted by "CNC" shall be used.
- For AAS BS declared to be capable of contiguous and non-contiguous operation and where the parameters in the
manufacture's declaration according to subclause 4.10 of TS 37.145-1 [3] and TS 37.145-2 [10] are not identical
for contiguous and non-contiguous operation, the test configurations denoted by "C/NC" shall be used for
testing.
For immunity tests:
- The communication link for the RAT(s) listed in the table shall be established according to subclause 4.2.
- Tests for ports relating to the RAT(s) supported shall be performed according to subclause 4.1.
