4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT-2000
Repeaters five essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [1] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1
provides a cross reference between these five essential parameters and the corresponding seven technical requirements
for equipment within the scope of the present document.
Table 4.2.1-1: Cross references
Essential parameter Corresponding technical requirements
Spectrum emissions mask 4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
Conducted spurious emissions from the antenna connector 4.2.3 Spurious emissions
Accuracy of maximum output power 4.2.4 Maximum output power
4.2.5 Input intermodulation
Receiver immunity 4.2.6 Out of band gain
4.2.7 Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio
Intermodulation attenuation of the output 4.2.8 Output intermodulation
4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (ITU-R Recommendation
SM.329-10 [4]). Out of band emissions are emissions immediately outside the pass band bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter, but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are
emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission,
intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The out of band emissions requirement for repeater is specified both in terms operating band unwanted emissions and
protection of the BS receiver in the uplink operating band. The operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted
emissions in the repeater operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 MHz above and 10 MHz below that band.
Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.
4.2.2.2 Limit
Emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in the tables below, where:
• Δf is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the
measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
• Nominal passband edge is the lowest and highest frequency of the pass band of the repeater.
• BW is the measurement bandwidth.
Meas
• BW is the bandwidth of the repeaters pass band.

Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).
This requirement applies to the uplink and downlink of the repeater, at maximum gain, and with the following input
signals:
• without E-UTRA input signal;
• with E-UTRA input signals in the pass band of the repeater, at levels that produce the maximum rated power
output per channel;

4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT Repeaters
five essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [1] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1 provides a cross
reference between these five essential parameters and the corresponding seven technical requirements for equipment
within the scope of the present document.
Table 4.2.1-1: Cross references
Essential parameter Corresponding technical requirements
Spectrum emissions mask 4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
Conducted spurious emissions from the antenna connector 4.2.3 Spurious emissions
Accuracy of maximum output power 4.2.4 Maximum output power
4.2.5 Input intermodulation
Receiver immunity 4.2.6 Out of band gain
4.2.7 Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio
Intermodulation attenuation of the output 4.2.8 Output intermodulation
4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (ITU-R Recommendation
SM.329-11 [4]). Out of band emissions are emissions immediately outside the pass band bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter, but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are
emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission,
intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The out of band emissions requirement for repeater is specified both in terms operating band unwanted emissions and
protection of the BS receiver in the uplink operating band. The operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted
emissions in the repeater operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 MHz above and 10 MHz below that band.
Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.
4.2.2.2 Limit
Emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in the tables below, where:
• Δf is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the
measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
• Nominal passband edge is the lowest and highest frequency of the pass band of the repeater.
• BW is the measurement bandwidth.
Meas
• BW is the bandwidth of the repeaters pass band.
Pass band
• f_offset is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.
• f_offset is the offset to the frequency 10 MHz outside the repeater operating band.
max
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
max max
Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).
This requirement applies to the uplink and downlink of the repeater, at maximum gain, and with the following input
signals:
• without E-UTRA input signal;
• with E-UTRA input signals in the pass band of the repeater, at levels that produce the maximum rated power
output per channel;
ETSI
12 ETSI EN 301 908-15 V5.2.1 (2011-07)
• with 10 dB increased E-UTRA input signals in all channels in the pass band, compared to the input level
producing the maximum rated output power.
4.2.2.2.1 General operating band unwanted emissions
For E-UTRA FDD repeater operating in bands 3 or 8 emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in
tables 4.2.2.2.1-1 and 4.2.2.2.1-2. The measurements shall apply to both paths uplink and downlink of the Repeater.

4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT Repeaters
five essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [1] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1 provides a cross
reference between these five essential parameters and the corresponding seven technical requirements for equipment
within the scope of the present document.
Table 4.2.1-1: Cross references
Essential parameter Corresponding technical requirements
Spectrum emissions mask 4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
Conducted spurious emissions from the antenna connector 4.2.3 Spurious emissions
Accuracy of maximum output power 4.2.4 Maximum output power
4.2.5 Input intermodulation
Receiver immunity 4.2.6 Out of band gain
4.2.7 Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio
Intermodulation attenuation of the output 4.2.8 Output intermodulation
4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (ITU-R Recommendation
SM.329-11 [4]). Out of band emissions are emissions immediately outside the pass band bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter, but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are
emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission,
intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The out of band emissions requirement for repeater is specified both in terms operating band unwanted emissions and
protection of the BS receiver in the uplink operating band. The operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted
emissions in the repeater operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 MHz above and 10 MHz below that band.
Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.
4.2.2.2 Limit
Emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in the tables below, where:
• Δf is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the
measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
• Nominal passband edge is the lowest and highest frequency of the pass band of the repeater.
• BW is the measurement bandwidth.
Meas
• BW is the bandwidth of the repeaters pass band.
Pass band
• f_offset is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.
• f_offset is the offset to the frequency 10 MHz outside the repeater operating band.
max
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
max max
Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).
This requirement applies to the uplink and downlink of the repeater, at maximum gain, and with the following input
signals:
• without E-UTRA input signal;
• with E-UTRA input signals in the pass band of the repeater, at levels that produce the maximum rated power
output per channel;
ETSI
12 Final draft ETSI EN 301 908-15 V5.2.1 (2011-05)
• with 10 dB increased E-UTRA input signals in all channels in the pass band, compared to the input level
producing the maximum rated output power.
4.2.2.2.1 General operating band unwanted emissions
For E-UTRA FDD repeater operating in bands 3 or 8 emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in
tables 4.2.2.2.1-1 and 4.2.2.2.1-2. The measurements shall apply to both paths uplink and downlink of the Repeater.

4.2.1 Introduction
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) for IMT Repeaters
five essential parameters in addition to those in EN 301 908-1 [1] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1 provides a cross
reference between these five essential parameters and the corresponding seven technical requirements for equipment
within the scope of the present document.
Table 4.2.1-1: Cross references
Essential parameter Corresponding technical requirements
Spectrum emissions mask 4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
Conducted spurious emissions from the antenna connector 4.2.3 Spurious emissions
Accuracy of maximum output power 4.2.4 Maximum output power
4.2.5 Input intermodulation
Receiver immunity 4.2.6 Out of band gain
4.2.7 Adjacent Channel Rejection Ratio
Intermodulation attenuation of the output 4.2.8 Output intermodulation
4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (ITU-R Recommendation
SM.329-11 [4]). Out of band emissions are emissions immediately outside the pass band bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter, but excluding spurious emissions. Spurious emissions are
emissions which are caused by unwanted transmitter effects such as harmonics emission, parasitic emission,
intermodulation products and frequency conversion products, but exclude out of band emissions.
The out of band emissions requirement for repeater is specified both in terms operating band unwanted emissions and
protection of the BS receiver in the uplink operating band. The operating band unwanted emissions define all unwanted
emissions in the repeater operating band plus the frequency ranges 10 MHz above and 10 MHz below that band.
Unwanted emissions outside of this frequency range are limited by a spurious emissions requirement.
4.2.2.2 Limit
Emissions shall not exceed the maximum levels specified in the tables below, where:
• Δf is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the
measuring filter closest to the carrier frequency.
• Nominal passband edge is the lowest and highest frequency of the pass band of the repeater.
• BW is the measurement bandwidth.
Meas
• BW is the bandwidth of the repeaters pass band.
Pass band
• f_offset is the separation between the nominal pass band edge frequency and the centre of the measuring filter.
• f_offset is the offset to the frequency 10 MHz outside the repeater operating band.
max
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

Unless otherwise stated, all requirements are measured as mean power (RMS).
This requirement applies to the uplink and downlink of the repeater, at maximum gain, and with the following input
signals:
• without E-UTRA input signal;
• with E-UTRA input signals in the pass band of the repeater, at levels that produce the maximum rated power
output per channel;
ETSI
12 ETSI EN 301 908-15 V5.2.1 (2011-07)
• with 10 dB increased E-UTRA input signals in all channels in the pass band, compared to the input level
producing the maximum rated output power.
