Foreword This Harmonized European Standard (EN) has been produced by Technical Committee Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM). The present document has been produced by in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued under Directive 98/34/EC [i.2] as amended by Directive 98/48/EC [i.8]. The present document together with EN [1], is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Council Directive on the approximation of the laws of the Member States relating to electromagnetic compatibility ("the EMC Directive") (2004/108/EC [i.15] as amended) and Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] of the European Parliament and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive"). The present document is part 50 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [1]. National transposition dates Date of adoption of this EN: 22 February 2013 Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 31 May 2013 Date of latest publication of new National Standard or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 30 November 2013 Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 30 November 2014 Introduction The present document has been produced to rationalize the current EN series [i.9] of EMC standards by collating the EMC requirements for Digital Cellular Communication Base Station (BS), repeater and ancillary Equipment into a single standard, there are no technical changes to product EMC Test requirements. The present document has been produced to replace EN [i.10] (GSM/EDGE), EN [i.11] (UTRA/E-UTRA), EN [i.12] CDMA1x and those parts of EN [i.13] which pertain to WiMAX BS and to incorporate IMT MSR and IMT Mobile WiMAX.

12 12 EN V1.2.1 ( ) 4 Test conditions For the purpose of the present document, the test conditions of EN [1], clause 4, shall apply as appropriate. Further product related test conditions for base station equipment are specified in the present document. 4.1 General The equipment shall be tested in the normal test environment defined in the appropriate conformance testing specification as specified below: Base station: - UTRA (FDD) base station TS [2]; - UTRA (TDD) base station TS [3]; - E-UTRA base station TS [6]; - GSM/EDGE base station EN [8]; - MSR base station TS [12]; - Mobile WiMAX TDD base station EN [15]; - Mobile WiMAX FDD base station EN [16]; - CDMA Multi-Carrier base station TIA-97-E-1 [18]. Repeater: - UTRA repeater conformance testing specification TS [4]; - E-UTRA repeater conformance testing specification TS [25]. The test conditions shall be recorded in the test report. For emission and immunity tests the test arrangements, etc., as specified in the present document, clauses 4.2 to 4.6, shall apply. For an EUT which contains more than one BS, it is sufficient to perform tests relating to connectors of each representative type of port forming part of the EUT. For an MSR BS or other BS supporting more than one RAT, tests shall be performed relating to each port, but need not be repeated for each RAT that use the same port unless the test configuration in clause 4.6 calls for multi-rat test configuration. For other BS supporting more than one RAT however (other than MSR BS), tests relating to the antenna port(s) shall always be performed for each supported RAT. 4.2 Arrangements for test signals The provisions of EN [1], clause 4.2 shall apply, with the following modifications. UTRA/E-UTRA/GSM-EDGE/MSR The wanted RF signal nominal frequency shall be selected by setting the channel number according to the following: - The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (EARFCN) for E-UTRA carrier. - The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (UARFCN) for UTRA carrier. - The Absolute Radio Frequency Channel Number (ARFCN) for GSM/EDGE carrier. CDMA - Set the CDMA channel to an appropriate number. Mobile WiMAX - The wanted signal(s) shall be (a) representative baseband input signal(s) corresponding to normal operation.
13 13 EN V1.2.1 ( ) A communication link shall be set up with a suitable test system capable of evaluating the required performance criteria (hereafter called "the test system") at the radio interface and telecommunication port/ports (e.g. the S1/Iub/Abis interface). The test system shall be located outside of the test environment. 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 rated transmit power. Adequate measures shall be taken to avoid the effect of the unwanted signal on the measuring equipment. The wanted RF input signal level shall be set to a level where the performance is not limited by the receiver noise floor or strong signal effects. Mobile WiMAX - For E-UTRA, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 db above the reference sensitivity level as defined in TS [6] to provide a stable communication link. - For UTRA FDD and TDD, the wanted signal can be set e.g. 15 db above the reference sensitivity level as defined in TS [2] or TS [3] respectively, to provide a stable communication link. - For GSM/EDGE the wanted receiver input signal level shall be set to a nominal value of -47 dbm. The input signal level shall be at a nominal value of 15 db above the receiver input level for a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of CDMA A communication link shall be set up with a suitable mobile station simulator (hereafter called "the test system") according to the Radio Configuration (RC) supported by the base station (see clause 1.3 in TIA-97-E-1 [18] using full data rate only) Multiple enclosure BS solution For a BS with multiple enclosures, the BS part with Radio digital unit and the Radio unit may be tested separately. Communication link shall be set up in the same way as if they are in single BS enclosure. The Radio Digital unit and the Radio unit shall communicate over an interface enabling establishment of a communication link Arrangements for test signals at the input of transmitters The provisions of EN [1], clause shall apply Arrangements for test signals at the output of transmitters The provisions of EN [1], clause shall apply Arrangements for test signals at the input of receivers The provisions of EN [1], clause shall apply with the following modification. The wanted input signal level shall be set to a level to provide a stable communication link where the performance is not limited by the receiver noise floor or strong signal effects e.g. 15 db above the reference sensitivity level as defined in: - UTRA TS [2] (for FDD), TS [3] (for TDD); - E-UTRA TS [6]; - CDMA TIA-97-E-1 [18]; - Mobile WiMAX for a Bit Error Ratio (BER) of
14 14 EN V1.2.1 ( ) GSM/EDGE The source of the wanted RF input signal shall be at a nominal value of -47 dbm. CDMA For immunity testing the wanted RF signal level at the input of the EUT shall be set to no more than 40 db above the reference sensitivity level as defined in TIA-97-E-1 [18] Arrangements for test signals at the output of receivers The provisions of EN [1], clause shall apply Arrangements for test signals for repeaters For immunity tests of repeaters, the wanted RF input signal shall be coupled to one antenna port at a level which will result, when measured, in the maximum rated RF output power per channel, as declared by the manufacturer. The test shall either be repeated with a wanted signal coupled to the other antenna port, or a single test shall be performed with the specified input signals being simultaneously coupled to both antenna ports. 4.3 Exclusion bands Transmitter exclusion band UTRA, E-UTRA, GSM/Edge, CDMA, Mobile WiMAX and MSR - for testing of radiated immunity there shall be no transmitter exclusion band Receiver exclusion band The BSS receiver exclusion band is the band of frequencies over which no tests of radiated immunity of a receiver are made. Extends from the lower frequency of the Base Station receive band minus 20 MHz to the upper frequency of the Base Station receive band plus 20 MHz. 4.4 Narrow band responses of receivers Responses on receivers or duplex transceivers occurring during the immunity test at discrete frequencies which are narrow band responses - spurious responses, are identified by the following method: if during an immunity test the quantity being monitored goes outside the specified tolerances (clause 6), it is necessary to establish whether the deviation is due to a narrow band response or to a wide band (EMC) phenomenon. Therefore, the test shall be repeated with the unwanted signal frequency first increased, and then decreased by an offset f offset, where: - for UTRA, f offset = 10 MHz; - for E-UTRA, f offset = 2 x BW Channel, where BW Channel is the channel bandwidth as defined in TS [5]; - for GSM/EDGE, f offset = 400 khz; - CDMA, f offset = 10 MHz, f offset = 12,5 MHz; - mobile WiMAX f offset = 2 x BW Channel, where BW Channel is the channel bandwidth; if the deviation disappears in either or both of the above offset cases, then the response is considered as a narrow band response;
15 15 EN V1.2.1 ( ) if the deviation does not disappear, this may be due to the fact that the offset has made the frequency of the unwanted signal correspond to the frequency of another narrow band response. Under these circumstances the procedure is repeated with the increase and decrease of the frequency of the unwanted signal set to 1,25 f offset ; if the deviation does not disappear with the increased and/or decreased frequency, the phenomenon is considered wide band and therefore an EMC problem and the equipment fails the test. Narrow band responses are disregarded. 4.5 Normal test modulation A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station system test equipment. UTRA The normal test modulation should be a bearer with the characteristics of data rate shown in table 1. If the test is not performed using one of these bearers, (for example none of them are supported by the BS), the characteristics of the bearer used shall be declared by the manufacturer and recorded in the test report. Table 1: Bearer information data rate Bearer Information Data Rate 12,2 kbit/s 64 kbit/s 144 kbit/s 384 kbit/s E-UTRA The normal test modulation should be a bearer with the characteristics of data rate shown in table 2. If the test is not performed using one of these bearers, (for example none of them are supported by the BS), the characteristics of the bearer used shall be declared by the manufacturer and recorded in the test report. Table 2: Bearer information data rate E-UTRA Channel Bandwidth [MHz] Bearer Information Data Rate 1,4 FRC A1-1 in clause A.1 in TS [5] 3 FRC A1-2 in clause A.1 in TS [5] 5 FRC A1-3 in clause A.1 in TS [5] 10 FRC A1-3 in clause A.1 in TS [5] (see note) 15 FRC A1-3 in clause A.1 in TS [5] (see note) 20 FRC A1-3 in clause A.1 in TS [5] (see note) NOTE: This is the information data rate of a single instance of the bearer mapped to 25 resource blocks. The performance criteria shall be met for each consecutive application of a single instance of the bearer mapped to disjoint frequency ranges with a width of 25 resource blocks each. GSM/EDGE The normal test modulation shall be delivered by a suitable mobile station or base station system test equipment (BSSTE). Mobile WiMAX A representative modulated RF signal corresponding to normal operation.
16 16 EN V1.2.1 ( ) CDMA A communication link shall be set up with a suitable base station system test equipment. The normal test modulation should be setup according to the Radio Configuration (RC) supported by the base station under test using full data rate only (see clause 1.3 in TIA-97-E-1 [18]). 4.6 MSR BS test configurations The present clause defines the test configurations for MSR Base Stations that shall be used for demonstrating conformance. This is specified in table 3a for multi-rat capable MSR Base Stations and in table 3b for single-rat capable BS. For other BS supporting more than one RAT (other than MSR BS), table 3b applies separately for each RAT supported.
