4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
ancillary equipment: equipment (apparatus) used in connection with a Base Station
NOTE: This is considered as an ancillary equipment (apparatus) if:
� the equipment is intended for use in conjunction with a BS to provide additional operational and/or
control features to the radio equipment, (e.g. to extend control to another position or location);
� the equipment cannot be used on a standalone basis to provide user functions independently of a
BS; and
� the BS to which it is connected, is capable of providing some intended operation such as
transmitting and/or receiving without the ancillary equipment (i.e. it is not a sub-unit of the main
equipment essential to the main equipment basic functions).
Base Station class: wide area Base Station, medium range Base Station, local area Base Station or home Base Station,
as declared by the manufacturer
chip rate: rate of "chips" (modulated symbols after spreading) per second
NOTE: The UTRA FDD chip rate is 3,84 Mchip/s.
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink (BS transmit)
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which equipment, within the scope of the present
document, is required to comply with the provisions of the present document

between systems of the IMT family (for band III and VIII also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics.
4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT Base
Stations (BS), seven essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [5] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1
provides a cross reference between these seven essential parameters and the corresponding ten technical requirements
for equipment within the scope of the present document.

The supplier shall declare the Base Station class and operating band(s) for the Base Station. The technical requirements
in the present document apply for Base Stations supporting UTRA FDD, for the declared Base Station class and
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Base Station supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed for each operating band.
The technical requirements also apply to the BS configurations described in annex B.
For an UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], conformance with the technical
requirements listed in table 4.2.1-1 can equally be demonstrated through the corresponding technical requirements and
test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8], as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
When conformance is demonstrated through the test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8] for these technical requirements, the
corresponding test suites in the present document need not be performed.

NOTE: Conformance with the UTRA ACLR requirement is for an MSR BS demonstrated through the requirement in
clause 4.2.3 of the present document and the corresponding test suite in clause 5.3.2.

NOTE: There are EC and ECC Decisions for the harmonisation of certain frequency bands for terrestrial systems
capable of providing electronic communications services, including technical conditions and parameters
related to spectrum usage of the bands. These are related to the deployment and installation of the
equipment, but are not related to the conformity of the equipment with the present document.
For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the
assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply
relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 Environmental profile
The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the
equipment, which shall be declared by the supplier. The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of
the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental
profile.
For guidance on how a supplier can declare the environmental profile, see annex C.
4.2 Conformance requirements
The requirements in the present document are based on the assumption that the operating band (see table 1-1) is shared
between systems of the IMT family (for band III and VIII also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics.
4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT Base
Stations (BS), seven essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [5] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1
provides a cross reference between these seven essential parameters and the corresponding ten technical requirements
for equipment within the scope of the present document.

The supplier shall declare the Base Station class and operating band(s) for the Base Station. The technical requirements
in the present document apply for Base Stations supporting UTRA FDD, for the declared Base Station class and
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Base Station supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed for each operating band.
The technical requirements also apply to the BS configurations described in annex B.
For an UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], conformance with the technical
requirements listed in table 4.2.1-1 can equally be demonstrated through the corresponding technical requirements and
test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8], as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
When conformance is demonstrated through the test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8] for these technical requirements, the
corresponding test suites in the present document need not be performed.

NOTE: Conformance with the UTRA ACLR requirement is for an MSR BS demonstrated through the requirement in
clause 4.2.3 of the present document and the corresponding test suite in clause 5.3.2.

NOTE: There are EC and ECC Decisions for the harmonisation of certain frequency bands for terrestrial systems
capable of providing electronic communications services, including technical conditions and parameters
related to spectrum usage of the bands. These are related to the deployment and installation of the
equipment, but are not related to the conformity of the equipment with the present document.
For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the
assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply
relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
