3.1 Terms
For the purposes of the present document, the terms given in ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1] and the following apply:
ancillary equipment: electrical or electronic equipment, that is intended to be used with a receiver or transmitter
NOTE 1: It is considered as an ancillary equipment if:
 the equipment is intended for use with a receiver or transmitter to provide additional operational
and/or control features to the radio equipment (e.g. to extend control to another position or
location);
 the ancillary equipment cannot be used without being connected to radio equipment to provide user
functions independently of a receiver or transmitter; and
 the receiver or transmitter, 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).
NOTE 2: An example of ancillary equipment would be a docking station for radio equipment whose interface is
dedicated to a particular product or range of products.
bearer: information transmission path of defined characteristics for transfer of user data or predefined test data
camped on a cell: UE is in idle mode and has completed the cell selection/reselection process and has chosen a cell
NOTE 1: The UE monitors system information and (in most cases) paging information.
NOTE 2: The services may be limited and the PLMN may not be aware of the existence of the UE within the
chosen cell.
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA RF carrier with the transmission bandwidth
configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
critical stored data: data that is essential for an EUT to perform a primary function in accordance with that EUT's
specification
NOTE: This may include data previously stored by the user.
data application ancillary: ancillary which provides, sends and/or receives data access to UMTS services via UE
end-user data: manufacturer defined data patterns for data transfer testing
NOTE: Represents EUT's typical user application data pattern (e.g. photo, video, text file, message) in its
characteristics.
fixed equipment: equipment intended for use in a fixed location and fitted with one or more antennas
NOTE: The equipment may be fitted with either antenna socket(s) or integral antenna(s) or both.
idle mode:
• For UTRA/EUTRA equipment: state of User Equipment (UE) when switched on but with no Radio Resource
Control (RRC) connection.

E-UTRA carrier's guard-band
NB-IoT In-band operation: operation of NB-IOT in-band utilizing the resource block(s) within a normal E-UTRA
carrier
NB-IoT standalone operation: operation of NB-IOT standalone utilizing its own spectrum, for example the spectrum
currently being used by GERAN systems as a replacement of one or more GSM carriers, as well as scattered spectrum
for potential IoT deployment
necessary bandwidth: for a given class of emission, the width of the frequency band which is just sufficient to ensure
the transmission of information at the rate and with the quality required under specified conditions
portable equipment: radio equipment intended for portable use and powered by integral batteries or battery
NOTE: Devices will typically be handheld.
RXQUAL: measure of the received signal quality, which is generated by the mobile or portable equipment, for use as a
criterion in the Radio Frequency (RF) power control and handover processes

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
The test conditions for user equipment are specified in the present document.
The test configuration and mode of operation shall represent the intended use and shall be recorded in the test report.
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system").
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply.
4.2.1 Reference Sensitivity Level
Within clause 4.2 there are very specific configuration requirements based upon the reference sensitivity levels for each
radio technology. As an alternative to these specific requirements the following process may be used.
Configure the EUT with the relevant test case or defined parameters and where possible attempt to maximize the
reference sensitivity level, for example with the appropriate modulation type or higher channel bandwidth. Establish a
communication link then reduce the power until the monitored communication path is no longer stable (for example
additional errors are occurring which are outside the limits defined in clause 6.1). Then increase the transmit power by
15 dB (±3dB) to establish a stable communication link.
NOTE: The reference sensitivity levels are very specific to the modulation type, channel bandwidth and other
defined radio parameters.
How the stable communication link was established shall be included within the test report.
4.2.2 Arrangements for test signals for GSM
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply.
4.2.3 Arrangements for test signals for UTRA and E-UTRA
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply. The test of the transmitter section and receiver section
of the EUT may be carried out simultaneously to reduce test time.
When the EUT is required to be in the traffic mode, a call is set up according to the Generic call set-up procedure and
the following conditions shall be met:
• for UTRA see clause 7.2.3 of ETSI TS 134 108 [2] and annex A of ETSI TS 134 109 [4] Logical Test
Interface for details regarding generic call set-up procedure and BER, BLER test loop scenarios;
• for E-UTRA see clause 4.5.1 of ETSI TS 136 508 [10] and clause 5.4 of ETSI TS 136 509 [11] for details
regarding generic call set-up procedure and throughput test loop scenarios:
- set and send continuously Up power control commands to the UE;
- the DTX shall be disabled;
- Inner Loop or Up Link Power Control shall be enabled;
ETSI
14 Final draft ETSI EN 301 489-52 V1.2.0 (2021-09)
• for UTRA the transmitting and/or receiving (UL/DL) bit rate for reference test channel shall be 12,2 kbit/s;
• E-UTRA the transmitting and/or receiving (UL/DL) bit rate for reference test channel shall be the reference
measurement channel as specified in annex C in ETSI TS 136 101 [9] with parameters specified in
tables 7.3.1-1 and 7.3.1-2 in ETSI TS 136 101 [9].
When the EUT is required to be in the idle mode the following conditions shall be met:
• UE shall be camped on a cell;
• UE shall perform Location Registration (LR) before the test, but not during the test;
• UE's neighbour cell list shall be empty;
• paging repetition period and DRX cycle shall be set to minimum (shortest possible time interval).
Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of immunity RF test signals on the measuring equipment.
4.2.4 Arrangements for test signals for NR
4.2.4.1 General for NR

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
For the purpose of the present document, the test conditions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4, shall apply as
appropriate. Further product related test conditions for digital cellular mobile and portable radio equipment are specified
in the present document.
Whenever the EUT is provided with a detachable antenna, the EUT shall be tested with the antenna fitted in a manner
typical of normal intended use, unless specified otherwise.
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.1 Arrangements for test signals for GSM and DCS
4.2.1.1 General for GSM and DCS
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply with the following modifications given in
clauses 4.2.1.2 to 4.2.1.4.
4.2.1.2 GSM and DCS Arrangements for establishing a communications link
The nominal frequency of the wanted RF input signal (for the receivers) shall be selected by setting the Absolute Radio
Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) to an appropriate number (e.g. in case of GSM 900 MHz this is 60 to 65, and in
case of GSM 1 800 MHz this is 690 to 706).
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system").
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 transmit power;
• the downlink RXQUAL shall be monitored.
4.2.1.3 GSM and DCS Calibration of the overall audio link performance
Prior to the test sequence, the reference level of the speech output signal on both the downlink and uplink shall be
recorded on the test instrumentation, as shown in figure 1.
If the equipment does not include acoustical transducers (e.g. a microphone or loudspeaker) the equivalent electrical
reference levels shall be specified by the manufacturer.
The voice processor may often apply noise and echo cancellation algorithms which attempt to eliminate or reduce
steady state audio signals as e.g. the 1 kHz calibration signals.
The calibration should be carried out with the noise and echo cancellation algorithms disabled. (Specific test software
may be required).
If the noise and echo cancellation algorithms cannot be disabled then the reference level of the speech output signal
should be measured using a max-hold detection on the audio level meter in order to determine the level before the noise
and echo cancellation algorithms become effective.
ETSI
12 Draft ETSI EN 301 489-52 V1.1.0 (2016-11)
Calibration of the downlink:
• The EUT is not used for the calibration of the downlink. Adjust the output of the audio test source to achieve a
reference level equivalent to a SPL of 0 dBPa at 1 kHz at the input of the acoustic coupler (tube in figure 1) for
the downlink. Record the reading of the audio level meter as the reference level.
• If in handsfree applications an external loudspeaker is used, the SPL from the external loudspeaker is higher
than that from the earpiece of the portable by a certain amount in order overcome a high ambient noise level.
Two methods can be used to achieve the required SPL:
- the downlink reference level shall be increased by the same amount in order to compensate for the
difference in SPL; or
- the distance between the loudspeaker and the measuring microphone shall be adjusted during the
measurement procedure resulting in the required SPL.
It is important that the dynamic range of the test instrumentation is not exceeded.
Calibration of the uplink:
• For the calibration of the uplink the EUT is used. Adjust the output of the audio test source to achieve a
reference level equivalent to a SPL of -5 dBPa at 1 kHz at the Mouth Reference Point (MRP) defined in
Recommendation ITU-T P.64 [6]. Record the reading of the audio level meter, which is connected to the
output of the test system, as the reference level.
• For handsfree applications, normally no corrections are made to the uplink reference level. If it is not possible
to perform the above calibration (e.g. a PC card with headset) the manufacturer shall specify the distance
between the MRP and the microphone.
• It is important that the dynamic range of the test instrumentation is not exceeded.
• The MRP is defined with respect to an artificial head defined in Recommendation ITU-T P.64 [6]. The handset
shall be mounted on the artificial head such that the ear piece is centred at the artificial ear.
Both recorded levels (downlink and uplink) are used as reference levels for the performance assessment (see
clauses 6.1.1 and 6.1.3).

4.2.1.4 GSM and DCS Measurement of the audio level at the speech output of the
EUT
The voice processor may apply noise and echo cancellation algorithms which attempt to eliminate or reduce steady state
audio signals as e.g. the 1 kHz calibration signals.
When the audio levels are measured during testing the EUT software shall be configured for voice applications. If the
algorithms for noise and echo cancellation are not disabled, then the level shall be measured using a max-hold detection
on the audio level meter in order to determine the level before the noise and echo cancellation algorithms become
effective.
Set the EUT volume to provide the nominal audio level if specified by the manufacturer. If no such level is specified,
the centre volume step shall be used. The volume settings shall be recorded in the test report.
The level of the output signal from the downlink speech channel of the EUT at the mobile or portable's earpiece shall be
assessed by measuring the Sound Pressure Level (SPL) as shown in figure 2. When an external loudspeaker is used the
acoustic coupler shall be fixed to the loudspeaker in the position used during the calibration.
The level of the decoded output signal from the uplink speech channel of the EUT at the analogue output of the test
system shall be measured. Pick up of extraneous background noise by the microphone of the EUT shall be minimized
by sealing the speech input port (microphone) of the EUT (see figure 2).
If the equipment is designed for use with external transducers, they shall be included in the test configuration. If the
equipment does not include acoustical transducers the line voltage developed across a specified termination impedance
may be measured.

• The wanted RF signal nominal frequency shall be selected by setting the UTRA or E-UTRA Absolute Radio
Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN or EARFCN) to an appropriate number.
• A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system").
The test system shall be located outside of the test environment.
Where possible the test of the transmitter section and receiver section of the EUT may be carried out simultaneously to
reduce test time.

4 Test conditions
4.1 General
The test conditions for user equipment are specified in the present document.
The test configuration and mode of operation shall represent the intended use and shall be recorded in the test report.
A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station simulator (hereafter called "the test system").
4.2 Arrangements for test signals
4.2.0 General
The provisions of ETSI EN 301 489-1 [1], clause 4.2 shall apply.
4.2.1 Reference Sensitivity Level
Within clause 4.2 there are very specific configuration requirements based upon the reference sensitivity levels for each
radio technology. As an alternative to these specific requirements the following process may be used.
Configure the EUT with the relevant test case or defined parameters and where possible attempt to maximize the
reference sensitivity level, for example with the appropriate modulation type or higher channel bandwidth. Establish a
communication link then reduce the power until the monitored communication path is no longer stable (for example
additional errors are occurring which are outside the limits defined in clause 6.1). Then increase the transmit power by
15 dB (±3dB) to establish a stable communication link.
