Globalni sistem mobilnih komunikacij (GSM) - Harmonizirani EN za opremo za bazne postaje, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive R&TTE

Ta dokument se uporablja za radijsko opremo naslednje vrste: bazne postaje GSM. Ta dokument zajema določbe člena 3.2 Direktive 1999/5/ES [i.2] (direktive R&TTE), ki navaja, da »/.../ mora biti radijska oprema skonstruirana tako, da učinkovito uporablja spekter, razporejen za prizemne/vesoljske radijske komunikacije in orbitalne vire, tako da ne pride do škodljivega motenja.« Kar zadeva motnje sistemov, ki delujejo v sosednjih pasovih, so v Poročilo 146 Odbora za elektronske komunikacije [i.4] vključena navodila za enega ali več operaterjev baznih sprejemno-oddajnih postaj (BTS). Poleg tega dokumenta se za opremo na področju uporabe tega dokumenta uporabljajo tudi drugi standardi EN, ki določajo tehnične zahteve v zvezi z bistvenimi zahtevami iz drugih delov člena 3 direktive R&TTE [i.2].

Overview

ETSI EN 301 502 V10.2.1 (2012-11) (ETSI EN 301 502 V10.2.1) is the harmonized European standard for GSM base station equipment that addresses the essential requirement of Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (Directive 1999/5/EC). Its primary aim is to ensure GSM base stations use spectrum efficiently and avoid harmful interference to adjacent and nearby radio systems. The standard is intended for manufacturers, test laboratories, network operators and conformity assessors involved with GSM base station equipment design, testing and certification.

Key Topics and Technical Requirements

The standard defines technical requirements, test methods and conformance criteria covering the radio performance and interference behaviour of GSM base stations. Major topics include:

• Modulation accuracy - definitions, limits and conformance tests to verify transmitted signal quality.
• Mean transmitted RF carrier power and power versus time - measurement definitions and test procedures for transmitter power control and stability.
• Adjacent channel power (ACP) - spectrum due to modulation, wideband noise, and switching transients with conformance methods to limit interference to adjacent bands.
• Spurious emissions - conducted emissions at the transmitter and receiver antenna connectors, and radiated spurious emissions outside the BTS transmit band.
• Intermodulation and intra-BSS intermodulation attenuation - requirements for single-carrier and multicarrier BTS to limit intermodulation products.
• Receiver performance characteristics - static and multipath reference sensitivity levels, blocking, spurious responses and AM suppression.
• Reference interference level and testing - definitions and conformance procedures for reference interference and how to interpret measurement results.
• Environmental profile and test conditions - prescribed environmental conditions and essential radio test suites with test cases and test environments.

The document also outlines conformance procedures and test suites, enabling consistent laboratory measurement and certification.

Practical Applications and Who Uses This Standard

SIST EN 301 502 is applied in practical settings including:

• Product design: GSM base station manufacturers use it to design transmitters and receivers that meet regulatory interference limits.
• Compliance & certification: Test labs and notified bodies apply the conformance tests when certifying equipment against the R&TTE essential requirements.
• Network planning and deployment: Mobile network operators use the standard’s interference limits and test methods to reduce mutual interference between sites and adjacent-band systems.
• Regulatory enforcement: National regulators reference the harmonized EN when enforcing spectrum protection and market access.

Related Standards

• Directive 1999/5/EC (R&TTE Directive) - Article 3.2 is the legal requirement this EN covers.
• ECC Report 146 - referenced guidance for adjacent-band interference, especially for single-carrier and multicarrier BTS.
• Other harmonized ENs - may apply for essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 of the R&TTE Directive (e.g., EMC, safety).

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 EG 201 399 [i.3].

1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment type:
1) GSM base stations.
Table 1-1: GSM Base Station System frequency bands
GSM band Direction of GSM Base Station System relevant frequency bands

Receive 890 MHz to 915 MHz
E-GSM 900 Transmit 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 880 MHz to 915 MHz
R-GSM 900 Transmit 921 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 876 MHz to 915 MHz

Receive 450,4 MHz to 457,6 MHz
GSM 480 Transmit 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz
Receive 478,8 MHz to 486 MHz
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 regards to interference to systems operating in adjacent bands guidance for single carrier BTS and multicarrier BTS
is provided in ECC Report 146 [i.4].
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 [i.2] 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.

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 EG 201 399 [i.3].
ETSI
8 ETSI EN 301 502 V10.2.1 (2012-11)
1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment type:
1) GSM base stations.
Table 1-1: GSM Base Station System frequency bands
GSM band Direction of GSM Base Station System relevant frequency bands
transmission
P-GSM 900 Transmit 935 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 890 MHz to 915 MHz
E-GSM 900 Transmit 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 880 MHz to 915 MHz
R-GSM 900 Transmit 921 MHz to 960 MHz
Receive 876 MHz to 915 MHz
DCS 1 800 Transmit 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz
Receive 1 710 MHz to 1 785 MHz
GSM 450 Transmit 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz
Receive 450,4 MHz to 457,6 MHz
GSM 480 Transmit 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz
Receive 478,8 MHz to 486 MHz
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 regards to interference to systems operating in adjacent bands guidance for single carrier BTS and multicarrier BTS
is provided in ECC Report 146 [i.4].
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 [i.2] 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.

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 EG 201 399 [i.3]. SIST EN 301 502 V10.2.1:2013

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 regards to interference to systems operating in adjacent bands guidance for single carrier BTS and multicarrier BTS is provided in ECC Report 146 [i.4]. 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 [i.2] 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. 2 References References are either specific (identified by date of publication and/or edition number or version number) or non-specific. For specific references, only the cited version applies. For non-specific references, the latest version of the referenced document (including any amendments) applies.
