the normative clauses of the present document given in table A.1 confers, within the limits of the scope of the present
document, a presumption of conformity with the corresponding essential requirements of that Directive, and associated
EFTA regulations.
The present document has been produced to rationalize the current ETSI EN 301 489 series [i.9] of EMC standards by
collating the EMC requirements for Digital Cellular Communication Base Station (BS), repeater and ancillary
Equipment into a single standard, there are no technical changes to product EMC Test requirements. The present
document has been produced to replace ETSI EN 301 489-8 [i.9] (GSM/EDGE), ETSI EN 301 489-23 [i.9] (WCDMA
and LTE, UTRA/E-UTRA), ETSI EN 301 489-26 [i.9] CDMA, 2000 1x and those parts of ETSI EN 301 489-4 [i.9]
which pertain to OFDMA WMAN BS and to incorporate MSR and OFDMA WMAN.

4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply, with the following modifications.
UTRA/E-UTRA/GSM-EDGE/MSR
The wanted RF signal nominal frequency shall be selected by setting the channel number according to the following:
- The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) for E-UTRA carrier.
- The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) for UTRA carrier.
- The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) for GSM/EDGE carrier.
CDMA - Set the CDMA channel to an appropriate number.
Mobile OFDMA WMAN - The wanted signal(s) shall be (a) representative baseband input signal(s) corresponding to
normal operation.
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable test system capable of evaluating the required performance criteria
(hereafter called "the test system") at the radio interface and telecommunication port/ports (e.g. the S1/Iub/Abis
interface).
The test system shall be located outside of the test environment.
When the EUT is required to be in the transmit/receive mode, the following conditions shall be met:
• The EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum rated transmit power.
• Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of the unwanted signal on the measuring equipment.
• The wanted RF input signal level shall be set to a level where the performance is not limited by the receiver
noise floor or strong signal effects:
- For E-UTRA, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level as defined in
ETSI TS 136 141 [6] to provide a stable communication link.
- For UTRA FDD and TDD, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level
as defined in ETSI TS 125 141 [2] or ETSI TS 125 142 [3] respectively, to provide a stable
communication link.
- For GSM/EDGE the wanted receiver input signal level shall be set to a nominal value of -47 dBm.
OFDMA WMAN
The input signal level shall be at a nominal value of 15 dB above the receiver input level for a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of
-5
1 × 10 .
CDMA
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable mobile station simulator (hereafter called "the test system")
according to the Radio Configuration (RC) supported by the base station (see clause 1.3 in TIA-97 [18] using full data
rate only).
4.2.1 Multiple enclosure BS solution
For a BS with multiple enclosures, the BS part with Radio digital unit and the Radio unit may be tested separately.
Communication link shall be set up in the same way as if they are in single BS enclosure. The Radio Digital unit and
the Radio unit shall communicate over an interface enabling establishment of a communication link.
ETSI
14 ETSI EN 301 489-50 V2.1.1 (2017-02)
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply.
4.2.3 Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
4.2.4 Arrangements for test signals at the input of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.3 shall apply with the following modification.
To provide a stable communication link, the wanted input signal level shall be set to a level of 15 dB above the
reference sensitivity level as defined in:
- UTRA TS 125 141 [2] (for FDD), ETSI TS 125 142 [3] (for TDD);
- E-UTRA ETSI TS 136 141 [6];
-5
- OFDMA WMAN for a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of 1 × 10 ;
- CDMA TIA-97 [18].
GSM/EDGE
The source of the wanted RF input signal shall be at a nominal value of -47 dBm.
CDMA
For immunity testing the wanted RF signal level at the input of the EUT shall be set to no more than 40 dB above the
reference sensitivity level as defined in TIA-97 [18].
4.2.5 Arrangements for test signals at the output of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.4 shall apply.
4.2.6 Arrangements for test signals for repeaters
For immunity tests of repeaters, the wanted RF input signal shall be coupled to one antenna port at a level which will
result, when measured, in the maximum rated RF output power per channel, as declared by the manufacturer. The test
shall either be repeated with a wanted signal coupled to the other antenna port, or a single test shall be performed with
the specified input signals being simultaneously coupled to both antenna ports.
4.3 Exclusion bands
4.3.1 Transmitter exclusion band
UTRA, E-UTRA, GSM/Edge, CDMA, Mobile OFDMA WMAN and MSR - for testing of radiated immunity there
shall be no transmitter exclusion band.
4.3.2 Receiver exclusion band
The BSS receiver exclusion band is the band of frequencies over which no tests of radiated immunity of a receiver are
made.
Extends from the lower frequency of the Base Station receive band minus 20 MHz to the upper frequency of the Base
Station receive band plus 20 MHz.
NOTE: The value of 20 MHz above is derived using the formula in clause 4.3.3.1 of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1]
where the value of n is one.
ETSI
15 ETSI EN 301 489-50 V2.1.1 (2017-02)
For BS capable of multi-band operation, the total receiver exclusion band shall be the combination of the exclusion
bands for each operating band supported by the BS.
The exclusion bands for the E- UTRA, UTRA, GSM/EDGE and MSR paired and unpaired can be calculated using the
operating bands are as set out in tables 4.4-2 and 4.4-3 in ETSI TS 137 113 [27].
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or duplex transceivers occurring during the immunity test at discrete frequencies which are
narrow band responses - spurious responses, are identified by the following method:
• If during an immunity test the quantity being monitored goes outside the specified tolerances (clause 6), it is
necessary to establish whether the deviation is due to a narrow band response or to a wide band (EMC)
phenomenon. Therefore, the test shall be repeated with the unwanted signal frequency first increased, and then
decreased by an offset f , where:
offset
- For UTRA, f = 10 MHz.
offset
- For E-UTRA, f = 2 × BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth as defined in ETSI
offset Channel Channel
TS 136 104 [5].
- For GSM/EDGE, f = 400 kHz.
offset
- For CDMA, f = 10 MHz, f = 12,5 MHz.
offset offset
- For OFDMA WMAN, f = 2 × BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth.
offset Channel Channel
• If the deviation disappears in either or both of the above offset cases, then the response is considered as a
narrow band response.
• If the deviation does not disappear, this may be due to the fact that the offset has made the frequency of the
unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under these circumstances, the
procedure is repeated with the increase and decrease of the frequency of the unwanted signal set to
1,25 × f .
offset
• If the deviation does not disappear with the increased and/or decreased frequency, the phenomenon is
considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test.
Narrow band responses are disregarded.
For an MSR BS or other BS supporting more than one RAT, the method above shall be applied for each RAT
supported. For BS capable of multi-band operation, all supported operating bands shall be considered for narrow band
responses.
4.5 Normal test modulation
A communication link shall be set up with suitable base station system test equipment.
UTRA
The normal test modulation should be a bearer with the characteristics of data rate shown in table 1.
If the test is not performed using one of these bearers, (for example none of them are supported by the BS), the
characteristics of the bearer used shall be declared by the manufacturer and recorded in the test report.

shall apply.
For EUT which contains more than one BS, it is sufficient to perform tests relating to connectors of each representative
type of port forming part of the EUT. For an MSR BS or other BS supporting more than one RAT, tests shall be
performed relating to each port, but need not be repeated for each RAT that use the same port unless the test
configuration in clause 4.6 calls for multi-RAT test configuration. For other BS supporting more than one RAT
however (other than MSR BS), tests relating to the antenna port(s) shall always be performed for each supported RAT.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply, with the following modifications.

normal operation.
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable test system capable of evaluating the required performance criteria
(hereafter called "the test system") at the radio interface and telecommunication port/ports (e.g. the S1/Iub/Abis
interface).
The test system shall be located outside of the test environment.
When the EUT is required to be in the transmit/receive mode, the following conditions shall be met:
• The EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum rated transmit power.
• Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of the unwanted signal on the measuring equipment.
• The wanted RF input signal level shall be set to a level where the performance is not limited by the receiver
noise floor or strong signal effects:
- For E-UTRA, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level as defined in
ETSI TS 136 141 [6] to provide a stable communication link.
- For UTRA FDD and TDD, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level
as defined in ETSI TS 125 141 [2] or ETSI TS 125 142 [3] respectively, to provide a stable
communication link.
- For GSM/EDGE the wanted receiver input signal level shall be set to a nominal value of -47 dBm.
OFDMA WMAN
The input signal level shall be at a nominal value of 15 dB above the receiver input level for a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of
-5
1 × 10 .
ETSI
14 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-50 V2.1.0 (2016-06)
CDMA
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable mobile station simulator (hereafter called "the test system")
according to the Radio Configuration (RC) supported by the base station (see clause 1.3 in TIA-97 [18] using full data
rate only).
4.2.1 Multiple enclosure BS solution
For a BS with multiple enclosures, the BS part with Radio digital unit and the Radio unit may be tested separately.
Communication link shall be set up in the same way as if they are in single BS enclosure. The Radio Digital unit and
the Radio unit shall communicate over an interface enabling establishment of a communication link.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.1 shall apply.
4.2.3 Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.2 shall apply.
4.2.4 Arrangements for test signals at the input of receivers
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.3 shall apply with the following modification.
To provide a stable communication link, the wanted input signal level shall be set to a level of 15 dB above the
reference sensitivity level as defined in:
- UTRA TS 125 141 [2] (for FDD), ETSI TS 125 142 [3] (for TDD);
- E-UTRA ETSI TS 136 141 [6];

4.3 Exclusion bands
4.3.1 Transmitter exclusion band
UTRA, E-UTRA, GSM/Edge, CDMA, Mobile OFDMA WMAN and MSR - for testing of radiated immunity there
shall be no transmitter exclusion band.
4.3.2 Receiver exclusion band
The BSS receiver exclusion band is the band of frequencies over which no tests of radiated immunity of a receiver are
made.
Extends from the lower frequency of the Base Station receive band minus 20 MHz to the upper frequency of the Base
Station receive band plus 20 MHz.
NOTE: The value of 20 MHz above is derived using the formula in clause 4.3.3.1 of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1]
where the value of n is one.
For BS capable of multi-band operation, the total receiver exclusion band shall be the combination of the exclusion
bands for each operating band supported by the BS.
The exclusion bands for the E- UTRA, UTRA, GSM/EDGE and MSR paired and unpaired can be calculated using the
operating bands are as set out in tables 4.4-2 and 4.4-3 in ETSI TS 137 113 [27].
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or duplex transceivers occurring during the immunity test at discrete frequencies which are
narrow band responses - spurious responses, are identified by the following method:
• If during an immunity test the quantity being monitored goes outside the specified tolerances (clause 6), it is
necessary to establish whether the deviation is due to a narrow band response or to a wide band (EMC)
phenomenon. Therefore, the test shall be repeated with the unwanted signal frequency first increased, and then
decreased by an offset f , where:
offset
- For UTRA, f = 10 MHz.
offset
- For E-UTRA, f = 2 x BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth as defined in
offset Channel Channel
ETSI TS 136 104 [5].
- For GSM/EDGE, f = 400 kHz.
offset
- For CDMA, f = 10 MHz, f = 12,5 MHz.
offset offset
- For OFDMA WMAN, f = 2 x BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth.
offset Channel Channel
• If the deviation disappears in either or both of the above offset cases, then the response is considered as a
narrow band response.
• If the deviation does not disappear, this may be due to the fact that the offset has made the frequency of the
unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under these circumstances, the
procedure is repeated with the increase and decrease of the frequency of the unwanted signal set to
1,25 × f .
offset
• If the deviation does not disappear with the increased and/or decreased frequency, the phenomenon is
considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test.
Narrow band responses are disregarded.
For an MSR BS or other BS supporting more than one RAT, the method above shall be applied for each RAT
supported. For BS capable of multi-band operation, all supported operating bands shall be considered for narrowband
responses.

4.5 Normal test modulation
A communication link shall be set up with suitable base station system test equipment.
UTRA
The normal test modulation should be a bearer with the characteristics of data rate shown in table 1.
If the test is not performed using one of these bearers, (for example none of them are supported by the BS), t

(hereafter called "the test system") at the radio interface and telecommunication port/ports (e.g. the S1/Iub/Abis
interface).
The test system shall be located outside of the test environment.
When the EUT is required to be in the transmit/receive mode, the following conditions shall be met:
• The EUT shall be commanded to operate at maximum rated transmit power.
• Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of the unwanted signal on the measuring equipment.
• The wanted RF input signal level shall be set to a level where the performance is not limited by the receiver
noise floor or strong signal effects:
- For E-UTRA, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level as defined in
ETSI TS 136 141 [6] to provide a stable communication link.
- For UTRA FDD and TDD, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 dB above the reference sensitivity level
as defined in ETSI TS 125 141 [2] or ETSI TS 125 142 [3] respectively, to provide a stable
communication link.
- For GSM/EDGE the wanted receiver input signal level shall be set to a nominal value of -47 dBm.

The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2.4 shall apply.
4.2.6 Arrangements for test signals for repeaters
For immunity tests of repeaters, the wanted RF input signal shall be coupled to one antenna port at a level which will
result, when measured, in the maximum rated RF output power per channel, as declared by the manufacturer. The test
shall either be repeated with a wanted signal coupled to the other antenna port, or a single test shall be performed with
the specified input signals being simultaneously coupled to both antenna ports.
4.3 Exclusion bands
4.3.1 Transmitter exclusion band
UTRA, E-UTRA, GSM/Edge, CDMA, Mobile OFDMA WMAN and MSR - for testing of radiated immunity there
shall be no transmitter exclusion band.
4.3.2 Receiver exclusion band
The BSS receiver exclusion band is the band of frequencies over which no tests of radiated immunity of a receiver are
made.
Extends from the lower frequency of the Base Station receive band minus 20 MHz to the upper frequency of the Base
Station receive band plus 20 MHz.
NOTE: The value of 20 MHz above is derived using the formula in clause 4.3.3.1 of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1]
where the value of n is one.
ETSI
15 ETSI EN 301 489-50 V2.1.1 (2017-02)
For BS capable of multi-band operation, the total receiver exclusion band shall be the combination of the exclusion
bands for each operating band supported by the BS.
The exclusion bands for the E- UTRA, UTRA, GSM/EDGE and MSR paired and unpaired can be calculated using the
operating bands are as set out in tables 4.4-2 and 4.4-3 in ETSI TS 137 113 [27].
4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers
Responses on receivers or duplex transceivers occurring during the immunity test at discrete frequencies which are
narrow band responses - spurious responses, are identified by the following method:
• If during an immunity test the quantity being monitored goes outside the specified tolerances (clause 6), it is
necessary to establish whether the deviation is due to a narrow band response or to a wide band (EMC)
phenomenon. Therefore, the test shall be repeated with the unwanted signal frequency first increased, and then
decreased by an offset f , where:
offset
- For UTRA, f = 10 MHz.
offset
- For E-UTRA, f = 2 × BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth as defined in ETSI
offset Channel Channel
TS 136 104 [5].
- For GSM/EDGE, f = 400 kHz.
offset
- For CDMA, f = 10 MHz, f = 12,5 MHz.
offset offset
- For OFDMA WMAN, f = 2 × BW , where BW is the channel bandwidth.

• If the deviation disappears in either or both of the above offset cases, then t
