1 Scope
The present document defines the requirements for the transceiver of the pan-European digital mobile cellular and
personal communication systems operating in the GSM 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz band (GSM 900 and DCS 1 800), and
in the PCS 1 900 MHz band.
Requirements are defined for two categories of parameters:
- those that are required to provide compatibility between the radio channels, connected either to separate or
common antennas, that are used in the system. This category also includes parameters providing compatibility
with existing systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands;
- those that define the transmission quality of the system.
The present document defines RF characteristics for the Mobile Station (MS) and Base Station System (BSS). The BSS
will contain either Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) or microcell base transceiver stations (micro-BTS). The precise
measurement methods are specified in GSM 11.10 and GSM 11.20.
Unless otherwise stated, the requirements defined in the present document apply to the full range of environmental
conditions specified for the equipment (see annex D).
In the present document some relaxation's are introduced for GSM 900 MSs which fulfil the following conditions:
- pertain to power class 4 or 5 (see clause 4.1.1);
- not designed to be vehicle mounted (see GSM 02.06).
In the present document these Mobile Stations are referred to as "small MS".
NOTE: In the present document, a handheld which can be connected to a car kit is not considered to be vehicle
mounted.
MSs may operate on more than one of the frequency bands specified in clause 2. These MSs, defined in GSM 02.06, are
referred to as "Multi band MSs" in the present document. Multi band MSs shall meet all requirements for each of the
bands supported. The relaxation on GSM 900 for a "small MS" are also valid for a multi band MS if it complies with
the definition of a small MS.
The RF characteristics of repeaters are defined in annex E of the present document. Annexes D and E are the only
clauses of the present document applicable to repeaters. Annex E does not apply to the MS or BSS.

NOTE 1: The term GSM 900 is used for any GSM system which operates in any 900 MHz band.
NOTE 2: The BTS may cover the complete band, or the BTS capabilities may be restricted to a subset only,
depending on the operator needs.
Operators may implement networks which operates on a combination of the frequency bands above to support multi
band mobile terminals which are defined in GSM 02.06.
The carrier spacing is 200 kHz.
The carrier frequency is designated by the absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN). If we call Fl(n) the
frequency value of the carrier ARFCN n in the lower band, and Fu(n) the corresponding frequency value in the upper
band, we have:
P-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
1 ≤ n ≤ 124
E-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n 0 ≤ n ≤ 124 Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*(n-1024) 975 ≤ n ≤ 1023
R-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n 0 ≤ n ≤ 124 Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*(n-1024) 955 ≤ n ≤ 1023
DCS 1 800 Fl(n) = 1710.2 + 0.2*(n-512) Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 95
512 ≤ n ≤ 885
PCS 1 900 FI(n) = 1850.2 + .2*(n-512) Fu(n) = FI(n) + 80
512 ≤ n ≤ 810
Frequencies are in MHz.
3 Reference configuration
The reference configuration for the radio subsystem is described in GSM 05.01.
The micro-BTS is different from a normal BTS in two ways. Firstly, the range requirements are much reduced whilst
the close proximity requirements are more stringent. Secondly, the micro-BTS is required to be small and cheap to
allow external street deployment in large numbers. Because of these differences the micro-BTS needs a different set of
RF parameters to be specified. Where the RF parameters are not different for the micro-BTS the normal BTS
parameters shall apply.
The pico-BTS is an extension of the micro-BTS concept to the indoor environments. The very low delay spread, low
speed, and small cell sizes give rise to a need for a different set of RF parameters to be specified.

4 Transmitter characteristics
Throughout this clause, unless otherwise stated, requirements are given in terms of power levels at the antenna
connector of the equipment. For equipment with integral antenna only, a reference antenna with 0 dBi gain shall be
assumed.
The term output power refers to the measure of the power when averaged over the useful part of the burst (see annex B).
The term peak hold refers to a measurement where the maximum is taken over a sufficient time that the level would not
significantly increase if the holding time were longer.
4.1 Output power
4.1.1 Mobile Station
The MS maximum output power and lowest power control level shall be, according to its class, as defined in the
following table (see also GSM 02.06).
Power GSM 900 DCS 1 800 PCS 1 900 Tolerance (dB)
class Nominal Maximum Nominal Maximum Nominal Maximum for conditions
output output output
power power power normal extreme
1 ------ 1W (30dBm) 1W (30dBm) ±2 ±2,5
2 8 W (39 dBm) 0,25 W (24 dBm) 0,25 W (24 dBm) ±2 ±2,5
3 5 W (37 dBm) 4 W (36 dBm) 2 W (33 dBm) ±2 ±2,5
4 2 W (33 dBm) ±2 ±2,5
5 0,8 W (29 dBm) ±2 ±2,5
NOTE: The lowest nominal output power for all classes of GSM 900 MS is 5 dBm and for all classes of DCS 1 800 and
PCS 1 900 MS is 0 dBm.
A multi band MS has a combination of the power class in each band of operation from the table above. Any
combination may be used.
The PCS 1 900 MS, including its actual antenna gain, shall not exceed a maximum of 2 Watts (+33 dBm) EIRP per the
applicable FCC rules for wideband PCS services [ANSI T1.610, "Generic Procedures for Supplementary Services",
1990]. Power Class 3 is restricted to transportable or vehicular mounted units.
The different power control levels needed for adaptive power control (see GSM 05.08) shall have the nominal output
power as defined in the table below, starting from the power control level for the lowest nominal output power up to the
power control level for the maximum nominal output power corresponding to the class of the particular MS as defined
in the table above. Whenever a power control level commands the MS to use a nominal output power equal to or greater
than the maximum nominal output power for the power class of the MS, the nominal output power transmitted shall be
the maximum nominal output power for the MS class, and the tolerance of ±2 or 2.5 dB (see table above) shall apply.

NOTE 1: For DCS 1 800, the power control levels 29, 30 and 31 are not used when transmitting the parameter
MS_TXPWR_MAX_CCH on BCCH, for cross phase compatibility reasons. If levels greater than
30 dBm are required from the MS during a random access attempt, then these shall be decoded from
parameters broadcast on the BCCH as described in GSM 05.08.
Furthermore, the difference in output power actually transmitted by the MS between two power control levels where the
difference in nominal output power indicates an increase of 2 dB (taking into account the restrictions due to power
class), shall be +2 ± 1.5 dB. Similarly, if the difference in output power actually transmitted by the MS between two
power control levels where the difference in nominal output power indicates an decrease of 2 dB (taking into account
the restrictions due to power class), shall be -2 ± 1,5 dB.
NOTE 2: A 2 dB nominal difference in output power can exist for non-adjacent power control levels e.g. power
control levels 18 and 22 for GSM 900; power control levels 31 and 0 for class 3 DCS 1 800 and power
control levels 3 and 6 for class 4 GSM 900.

NOTE: Tolerance for MS Power Classes 1 and 2 is ±2 dB normal
and ±2,5 dB extreme at Power Control Levels 0 and 3
respectively.
The output power actually transmitted by the MS at each of the power control levels shall form a monotonic sequence,
and the interval between power steps shall be 2 dB ± 1,5 dB except for the step between power control levels 30 and 31
where the interval is 1 dB ± 1dB.
The MS transmitter may be commanded by the BTS to change from any power control level to any other power control
level. The maximum time to execute this change is specified in GSM 05.08.
For CTS transmission, the nominal maximum output power of the MS shall be restricted to :
- 11 dBm (0,015 W) in GSM 900 i.e. power control level 16;
- 12 dBm (0,016 W) in DCS 1 800 i.e. power control level 9.
4.1.2 Base station
The Base Station Transmitter maximum output power, measured at the input of the BSS Tx combiner, shall be,

The micro-BTS maximum output power per carrier measured at the antenna connector after all stages of combining
shall be, according to its class, defined in the following table.

The tolerance of the actual maximum output power of the BTS shall be ±2 dB under normal conditions and ±2,5 dB
under extreme conditions. Settings shall be provided to allow the output power to be reduced from its maximum level in
at least six steps of nominally 2 dB with an accuracy of ±1 dB to allow a fine adjustment of the coverage by the network
operator. In addition, the actual absolute output power at each static RF power step (N) shall be 2*N dB below the
absolute output power at static RF power step 0 with a tolerance of ±3 dB under normal conditions and ±4 dB under
extreme conditions. The static RF power step 0 shall be the actual output power according to the TRX power class.
As an option the BSS can utilize downlink RF power control. In addition to the static RF power steps described above,
the BSS may then utilize up to 15 steps of power control levels with a step size of 2 dB ± 1,5 dB, in addition the actual
absolute output power at each power control level (N) shall be 2*N dB below the absolute output power at power
control level 0 with a tolerance of ±3 dB under normal conditions and ±4 dB under extreme conditions. The power
control level 0 shall be the set output power according to the TRX power class and the six power settings defined above.
Network operators or manufacturers may also specify the BTS output power including any Tx combiner, according to
their needs.
4.1.2.1 Additional requirements for PCS 1 900 Base stations (PCS 1 900)
The BTS transmitter maximum rated output power per carrier, measured at the input of the transmitter combiner, shall
be, according to its TRX power class, as defined in the table above. The base station output power may also be specified
by the manufacturer or system operator at a different reference point (e.g. after transmitter combining).
The maximum radiated power from the BTS, including its antenna system, shall not exceed a maximum of 1640 W
EIRP, equivalent to 1000 W ERP, per the applicable FCC rules for wideband PCS services [14].
4.2 Output RF spectrum
The specifications contained in this clause apply to both BTS and MS, in frequency hopping as well as in non frequency
hopping mode, except that beyond 1800 kHz offset from the carrier the BTS is not tested in frequency hopping mode.
Due to the bursty nature of the signal, the output RF spectrum results from two effects:
- the modulation process;
- the power ramping up and down (switching transients).
The two effects are specified separately; the measurement method used to analyse separately those two effects is
specified in GSM 11.10 and 11.20. It is based on the "ringing effect" during the transients, and is a measurement in the
time domain, at each point in frequency.
The limits specified thereunder are based on a 5-pole synchronously tuned measurement filter.
Unless otherwise stated, for the BTS, only one transmitter is active for the tests of this clause.
4.2.1 Spectrum due to the modulation and wide band noise
The output RF modulation spectrum is specified in the following tables. A mask representation of this specification is
shown in annex A. This specification applies for all RF channels supported by the equipment.
ETSI
14 ETSI EN 300 910 V7.3.1 (2000-10)
(GSM 05.05 version 7.3.1 Release 1998)
The specification applies to the entire of the relevant transmit band and up to 2 MHz either side.
The specification shall be met under the following measurement conditions:
- For BTS up to 1800 kHz from the carrier and for MS in all cases:
Zero frequency scan, filter bandwidth and video bandwidth of 30 kHz up to 1800 kHz from the carrier and
100 kHz at 1800 kHz and above from the carrier, with averaging done over 50 % to 90 % of the useful part of
the transmitted bursts, excluding the midamble, and then averaged over at least 200 such burst measurements.
Above 1800 kHz from the carrier only measurements centred on 200 kHz multiples are taken with averaging
over 50 bursts.
- For BTS at 1800 kHz and above from the carrier:
Swept measurement with filter and video bandwidth of 100 kHz, minimum sweep time of 75 ms, averaging
over 200 sweeps. All slots active, frequency hopping disabled.
- When tests are done in frequency hopping mode, the averaging shall include only bursts transmitted when the
hopping carrier corresponds to the nominal carrier of the measurement. The specifications then apply to the
measurement results for any of the hopping frequencies.
The figures in tables a) and b) below, at the vertically listed power level (dBm) and at the horizontally listed frequency
offset from the carrier (kHz), are then the maximum allowed level (dB) relative to a measurement in 30 kHz on the
carrier.
NOTE: This approach of specification has been chosen for convenience and speed of testing. It does however
require careful interpretation if there is a need to convert figures in the following tables into spectral
density values, in that only part of the power of the carrier is used as the relative reference, and in
addition different measurement bandwidths are applied at different offsets fro
