The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "….. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present

band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell.
The present document covers requirements for E-UTRA Base Stations for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10 and 11. This includes
the requirements for E UTRA Base Station operating bands and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP Release 12.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "…. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.

NOTE: 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.
The present document covers requirements for E-UTRA Base Stations for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10 and 11. This includes
the requirements for E UTRA Base Station operating bands and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP Release 12.
The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.2,
which states that "…. radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to
terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.
