Cable networks for television signals, sound Signals and interactive services - Part 2-3: LTE (4G) Interference Mitigation Filters
This Technical Specification provides requirements to passive filters intended to reduce RF interference from LTE Base Stations (LTE-BS) and LTE User Equipment (LTE-UE) to receiving equipment and cable distribution systems of broadcast DVB-T and DVB-T2 signals in the VHF and UHF bands. While primarily intended to be used with VHF/UHF DVB-T and DVB-T2 receivers and signal distribution systems, filters can also be useful for mitigation of interference to VHF FM or DAB radio.

Kabelska omrežja za televizijske signale, zvokovne signale in interaktivne storitve - 2-3. del: Filter LTE (4G) za preprečevanje motenj
Ta tehnična specifikacija določa zahteve za pasivne filtre za zmanjšanje RF-motenj pri sprejemni opremi in kabelskih razdelilnih sistemih za radiodifuzijo signalov DVB-T in DVB-T2 v pasovih VHF in UHF, ki jih povzročajo bazne postaje LTE (LTE-BS) in uporabniška oprema LTE (LTE-UE). Medtem ko se filtri uporabljajo predvsem s sprejemniki VHF/UHF DVB-T in DVB-T2 ter sistemi za razdelitev signalov, so lahko uporabni tudi za preprečevanju motenj pri radijskih signalih VHF FM ali DAB.

European foreword
This document (CLC/TS 50083-2-3:2018) has been prepared by CLC/TC 209 “Cable networks for television
signals, sound signals and interactive services”.
Attention is drawn to the possibility that some of the elements of this document may be the subject of patent

Introduction
Standards and deliverables of EN 60728 series and EN 50083 series deal with cable networks including
equipment and associated methods of measurement for headend reception, processing and distribution of
television and sound signals and for processing, interfacing and transmitting all kinds of data signals for
interactive services using all applicable transmission media. These signals are typically transmitted in
networks by frequency-multiplexing techniques.
This includes for instance:
a) regional and local broadband cable networks;
b) extended satellite and terrestrial television distribution systems;
c) individual satellite and terrestrial television receiving systems;
and all kinds of equipment, systems and installations used in such cable networks, distribution and receiving
systems.
The extent of this standardization work is from the antennas and/or special signal source inputs to the
headend or other interface points to the network up to the terminal input of the customer premises
equipment.
The standardization work will consider coexistence with users of the RF spectrum in wired and wireless
transmission systems.
The standardization of any user terminals (i.e. tuners, receivers, decoders, multimedia terminals etc.) as well
as of any coaxial, balanced and optical cables and accessories thereof is excluded.
1 Scope
This Technical Specification provides requirements to passive filters intended to reduce RF interference from
LTE Base Stations (LTE-BS) and LTE User Equipment (LTE-UE) to receiving equipment and cable
distribution systems of broadcast DVB-T and DVB-T2 signals in the VHF and UHF bands. While primarily
intended to be used with VHF/UHF DVB-T and DVB-T2 receivers and signal distribution systems, filters can
also be useful for mitigation of interference to VHF FM or DAB radio.

4 LTE Filter Characteristics
4.1 General
To comply with this specification a filter shall pass a range of frequencies (the pass-band) which includes a
number of VHF and UHF TV channels and shall attenuate a range of LTE frequencies (the stop-band). In all
cases the stop-band lies above the pass-band.
4.2 Pass-band and stop-band of a LTE filter (800 MHz band)
Pass-band (terrestrial broadcasting service):
a) the lower boundary of the pass-band shall lie between 0 Hz (DC) and 174 MHz;
b) the upper boundary of the pass-band shall lie on the upper edge of a TV channel, UHF channel N, such
that the pass-band upper bound frequency is (8*N+310) MHz. The value of N shall be in the range 58 to
60.
It should be noted that a filter of the band-stop (or band-reject) type can be used to meet this specification.
Where this type of filter is used, the range of frequencies lying above the defined stop-band is not considered
to be part of the pass-band for the purpose of this specification.
NOTE 1 What the filter does above 862 MHz might be advantageous and could offer some roll-off in the 900 MHz
mobile spectrum, but this is outside the scope of this specification.
Stop-band: shall be from 791 MHz to 862 MHz, divided in two parts:
1) Stop-band 1: 791 MHz to 821 MHz (LTE Base Station (LTE-BS))
2) Stop-band 2: 832 MHz to 862 MHz (LTE User Equipment (LTE-UE))
NOTE 2 It is intended to add an extended stop-band option in a future revision of this specification, allowing the
option to cover the proposed 700 MHz LTE band once the extent of that band is agreed.
4.3 Types of standard for a LTE filter
Three types of standard for a LTE filter are defined, considering the stop-band attenuation performance, as
defined below.
a) Standard 1 LTE filter
“Professional” filter for use in large cable systems incorporating distribution amplifiers and/or where greater
attenuation of LTE interference is required in the case that channel 60 is not distributed.
b) Standard 2 LTE filter
“Consumer” filter intended for use with a single receiver or a number of receivers fed via a passive
distribution network.
c) Standard 3 LTE filter
“Typical” filter for use in MATV systems incorporating distribution amplifiers and/or where a typical
attenuation for LTE interference mitigation is required.
4.4 LTE filter specifications
The nominal characteristic impedance for the LTE filters is 75 Ω, to be used also in measurements. The main
LTE filter characteristics are specified in Table 1.
