1 Scope
The present document applies to the following equipment types:
1) Repeaters for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) (FDD).
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1-1.
Table 1-1: E-UTRA Repeater operating bands
E-UTRA FDD Direction of transmission E-UTRA Repeater operating bands
band
1 Downlink 2 110 MHz to 2 170 MHz
Uplink 1 920 MHz to 1 980 MHz
3 Downlink 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz
Uplink 1 710 MHz to 1 785 MHz
7 Downlink 2 620 MHz to 2 690 MHz
Uplink 2 500 MHz to 2 570 MHz
8 Downlink 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 880 MHz to 915 MHz
20 Downlink 791 MHz to 821 MHz
Uplink 832 MHz to 862 MHz
22 Downlink 3 510 MHz to 3 590 MHz
Uplink 3 410 MHz to 3 490 MHz
28 Downlink 758 MHz to 803 MHz
Uplink 703 MHz to 748 MHz
32 Downlink 1 452 MHz to 1 496 MHz
(note 1)
Uplink N/A
(note 2)
NOTE 1: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating
band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell.
NOTE 2: Radio equipment in band XXXII is only allowed to operate between 1 452 MHz and 1 492 MHz.

The present document covers requirements for E-UTRA Repeaters for Release 8, 9, 10 and 11. This includes the
requirements for E UTRA Repeater operating bands and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP Release 12.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that Radio equipment both effectively uses and supports
the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:

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.
channel edge: lowest and highest frequency of the E-UTRA carrier, separated by the channel bandwidth
donor coupling loss: coupling loss between the repeater and the donor Base Station
downlink: signal path where Base Station transmits and mobile receives
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
nominal passband edge: lowest and highest frequency of the pass band of the repeater
operating band: frequency range that is defined with a specific set of technical requirements, in which E-UTRA FDD
operates
NOTE: The operating band(s) for an E-UTRA Repeater is declared by the manufacturer according to the
designations in clause 1, table 1-1. Operating bands for UTRA are designated with Roman numerals,
while the corresponding operating bands for E-UTRA are designated with Arabic numerals. Unless
specified, operating band refers to the uplink operating band and downlink operating band.
output power, Pout: mean power of one carrier at maximum repeater gain delivered to a load with resistance equal to
the nominal load impedance of the transmitter
pass band: frequency range that the repeater operates in with operational configuration
NOTE: This frequency range can correspond to one or several consecutive nominal channels. If they are not
consecutive each subset of channels is considered as an individual pass band. The Repeater can have one
or several pass bands.
rated output power: rated output power of the repeater is the mean power level per carrier that the manufacturer has
declared to be available at the antenna connector
repeater: device that receives, amplifies and transmits the radiated or conducted RF carrier both in the downlink
direction (from the Base Station to the mobile area) and in the uplink direction (from the mobile to the Base Station)
NOTE: In operating bands specified with only down-link or up-link, only the up-link or down-link as specified
for the operating band is repeated.
transmission bandwidth: bandwidth of an instantaneous transmission from a UE or BS, measured
