Ta dokument velja za naslednjo vrsto radijske opreme:
• Multi-Standard radio (E-UTRA, UTRA, GSM/EDGE) zmožne bazne postaje.
Te vrste radijske opreme so zmožne delovati v vseh ali katerem koli delu frekvenčnega pasu, kot so navedeni v preglednici 1-1.
Ta dokument zajema zahteve zmožne bazne postaje za multi-RAT E-UTRA, UTRA in GSM/EDGE za izdajo 9.
Ta dokument zajema določbe člena 3.2. Direktive 1999/5/ES [i.2] (direktive R&TTE), ki navaja, da » … radijska oprema je narejena tako, da učinkovito izrablja spekter, razporejen za prizemne/vesoljske radiokomunikacije in orbitalne vire, tako da ne pride do škodljivega motenja«.
Poleg tega dokumenta se preostali EN, ki določajo tehnične zahteve v skladu z bistvenimi zahtevami v drugih delih člena 3 direktive R&TTE, lahko uporabljajo za opremo v okviru uporabe tega dokumenta.

The present document covers requirements for multi-RAT capable E-UTRA, UTRA and GSM/EDGE MSR Base
Stations for Release 9.
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 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 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.

3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:

Base Station RF bandwidth: bandwidth in which a Base Station transmits and receives multiple carriers and/or RATs
simultaneously
Base Station RF bandwidth edge: frequency of one of the edges of the Base Station RF bandwidth
carrier: modulated waveform conveying the E-UTRA, UTRA or GSM/EDGE physical channels
channel bandwidth: RF bandwidth supporting a single E-UTRA RF carrier with the transmission bandwidth
configured in the uplink or downlink of a cell
NOTE: The channel bandwidth is measured in MHz and is used as a reference for transmitter and receiver RF
requirements.
carrier power: power at the antenna connector in the channel bandwidth of the carrier averaged over at least one
subframe for E-UTRA, at least one slot for UTRA and the useful part of the burst for GSM/EDGE
configured carrier power: target maximum power for a specific carrier for the operating mode set in the BS
downlink operating band: part of the operating band designated for downlink
lower RF bandwidth edge: frequency of the lower edge of the Base Station RF bandwidth, used as a frequency
reference point for transmitter and receiver requirements
maximum carrier output power: carrier power available at the antenna connector for a specified reference condition

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 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 may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.

4 Technical requirements specifications
4.1 Environmental profile
The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the
equipment, which shall be declared by the supplier. The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of
the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental
profile.
For guidance on how a supplier can declare the environmental profile, see annex C.
4.2 Conformance requirements
The requirements in the present document are based on the assumption that the operating band (see table 1-1) is shared
between systems of the IMT family (for band 3 and 8 also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics.
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 Base
Stations (BS), seven 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 seven essential parameters and the corresponding ten technical requirements
for equipment within the scope of the present document.

The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile. For guidance on how a supplier can declare the environmental profile, see annex C. 4.2 Conformance requirements The requirements in the present document are based on the assumption that the operating band (see table 1-1) is shared between systems of the IMT family (for band 3 and 8 also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics. 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 Base Stations (BS), seven 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 seven essential parameters and the corresponding ten technical requirements for equipment within the scope of the present document.
