Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.2]. The
modular structure is shown in ETSI EG 201 399 [i.3].

1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment types:
1) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the operating bands given in table 1-1.
Table 1-1: E-UTRA Base Station operating bands
E-UTRA band Direction of transmission E-UTRA Base Station operating bands
1 Transmit 2 110 MHz to 2 170 MHz
Receive 1 920 MHz to 1 980 MHz
3 Transmit 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz
Receive 1 710 MHz to 1 785 MHz
7 Transmit 2 620 MHz to 2 690 MHz
Receive 2 500 MHz to 2 570 MHz
8 Transmit 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 880 MHz to 915 MHz
20 Transmit 791 MHz to 821 MHz
Receive 832 MHz to 862 MHz
22 Transmit 3 510 MHz to 3 590 MHz
Receive 3 410 MHz to 3 490 MHz
Transmit 703 MHz to 748 MHz
28
Receive 758 MHz to 803 MHz
Transmit 1 452 MHz to 1 496 MHz
32
(note) Receive N/A
33 Transmit and Receive 1 900 MHz to 1 920 MHz
34 Transmit and Receive 2 010 MHz to 2 025 MHz
38 Transmit and Receive 2 570 MHz to 2 620 MHz
40 Transmit and Receive 2 300 MHz to 2 400 MHz
42 Transmit and Receive 3 400 MHz to 3 600 MHz
43 Transmit and Receive 3 600 MHz to 3 800 MHz
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.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.

42 Transmit and Receive 3 400 MHz to 3 600 MHz
43 Transmit and Receive 3 600 MHz to 3 800 MHz
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.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
