Foreword
This European Telecommunication Standard (ETS) has been produced by the Special Mobile Group
(SMG) Technical Committee (TC) of the European Telecommunications Standards Institute (ETSI).
This ETS defines the requirements for transceivers operating in the 900 MHz and 1 800 MHz bands within
the digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2).
This ETS correspond to GSM technical specification, GSM 05.05 version 4.16.1.
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS is not in accordance with the ETSI/PNE rules.
Reference is made within this ETS to GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs) (see note).
NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give the technical specifications for the
implementation of the digital cellular telecommunications system. Historically, these
documents have been identified as GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs). These
TSs may have subsequently become I-ETSs (Phase 1), or ETSs (Phase 2), whilst
others may become ETSI Technical Reports (ETRs). GSM-TSs are, for editorial
reasons, still referred to in GSM ETSs.

1 Scope
This European Telecommunications Standard (ETS) defines the requirements for the transceiver of the
pan-european digital mobile cellular and personal communication systems operating in the 900 MHz and
1 800 MHz band (GSM 900 and DCS 1 800).
Requirements are defined for two categories of parameters:
- Those that are required to provide compatibility between the radio channels, connected either to
separate or common antennas, that are used in the system. This category also includes parameters
providing compatibility with existing systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands.
- Those that define the transmission quality of the system.
This ETS defines RF characteristics for the Mobile Station (MS) and Base Station System (BSS). The
BSS will contain either Base Transceiver Stations (BTS) or microcell base transceiver stations
(micro-BTS). The precise measurement methods are specified in GSM 11.10 and 11.20.
Unless otherwise stated, the requirements defined in this ETS apply to the full range of environmental
conditions specified for the equipment (see annex D).
In this ETS, some relaxation are introduced for GSM 900 mobile stations which fulfil the following
conditions:
- pertain to power class 4 or 5 (see section 4.1.1);
- not designed to be vehicle mounted (see GSM 02.06).
In this ETS, these mobile stations are referred to as "small MS".
NOTE: In this ETS, a handhold which can be connected to a car kit is not considered to be
vehicle mounted.
Mobile stations may operate on more than one of the frequency bands specified in section 2. These
mobile stations, defined in GSM 02.06, are referred to as "Multi band mobile stations" in this ETS. Multi
band mobile stations shall meet all requirements for each of the bands supported. The relaxation on
GSM 900 for a "small MS" are also valid for a multi band MS if it complies with the definition of a small
MS.
The RF characteristics of repeaters are defined in annex E of this ETS. Annexes D and E are the only
sections of this ETS applicable to repeaters. Annex E does not apply to the MS or BSS.
1.1 Normative references
This ETS incorporates by dated and undated reference, provisions from other publications. These
normative references are cited at the appropriate places in the text and the publications are listed

1.2 Abbreviations
Abbreviations used in this ETS are listed in GSM 01.04.
2 Frequency bands and channel arrangement
i) Standard or primary GSM 900 Band, P-GSM;
For Standard GSM 900 Band, the system is required to operate in the following frequency band:
890 - 915 MHz: mobile transmit, base receive;
935 - 960 MHz: base transmit, mobile receive.

The carrier frequency is designated by the absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN). If we call
Fl(n) the frequency value of the carrier ARFCN n in the lower band, and Fu(n) the corresponding
frequency value in the upper band, we have:
P-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
1 ≤ n ≤ 124
E-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
0 ≤ n ≤ 124
Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*(n-1024)
975 ≤ n ≤ 1 023
DCS 1 800 Fl(n) = 1 710.2 + 0.2*(n-512) Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 95
512 ≤ n ≤ 885
Frequencies are in MHz
3 Reference configuration
The reference configuration for the radio subsystem is described in GSM 05.01.
The micro-BTS is different from a normal BTS in two ways. Firstly, the range requirements are much
reduced whilst the close proximity requirements are more stringent. Secondly, the micro-BTS is required
to be small and cheap to allow external street deployment in large numbers. Because of these differences
the micro-BTS needs a different set of RF parameters to be specified. Where the RF parameters are not
different for the micro-BTS the normal BTS parameters shall apply.
4 Transmitter characteristics
Throughout this section, unless otherwise stated, requirements are given in terms of power levels at the
antenna connector of the equipment. For equipment with integral antenna only, a reference antenna with
0 dBi gain shall be assumed.
The term output power refers to the measure of the power when averaged over the useful part of the burst
(see annex B).
The term peak hold refers to a measurement where the maximum is taken over a sufficient time that the
level would not significantly increase if the holding time were longer.
4.1 Output power
4.1.1 Mobile station
The mobile station maximum output power and lowest power control level shall be, according to its class,
as defined in the following table (see also GSM 02.06).

NOTE: The lowest power level for all classes of GSM 900 MS is
5 dBmand for all classes of DCS 1 800 MS is 0 dBm.
A multi band MS has a combination of the power class in each band of operation from the table above.
Any combination may be used.

The different power levels needed for adaptive power control (see GSM 05.08) shall have the nominal
output power as defined in the table below, starting from the lowest power control level up to the
maximum output power corresponding to the class of the particular mobile station. Whenever a power
control level corresponds to the power class of the MS, the tolerance of ± 2 or 2.5 dB (see above) shall
apply.

NOTE: For DCS 1 800, the power control levels 29, 30 and 31 are only used "in call" for power
control purposes. These levels are not used when transmitting the parameter TX PWR
MAX CCH, for cross phase compatibility reasons. If levels greater than 30 dBm are
required from the MS during a random access attempt, then these shall be decoded
from parameters broadcast on the BCCH as described in GSM 05.08.
Furthermore, the output power actually transmitted by the MS at each of the power control levels shall
form a monatomic sequence, and the interval between power steps shall be 2 ± 1.5 dB.
A change from any power control level to any power control level may be required by the base transmitter.
The maximum time to execute this change is specified in GSM 05.08.
4.1.2 Base station
The base station transmitter maximum output power, measured at the input of the BSS Tx combiner, shall
be, according to its class, as defined in the following table:

The micro-BTS maximum output power per carrier measured at the antenna connector after all stages of
combining shall be, according to its class, defined in the following table.
GSM 900 micro-BTS DCS 1 800 micro-BTS
TRX power Maximum output power TRX power Maximum output power

M3 (> 9) - 14 dBm  ((> 0.01) - 0.03 W) M3 (> 17) - 22 dBm  ((> 0.05) - 0.16 W)
The tolerance of the actual maximum output power of the BTS shall be ± 2 dB under normal conditions
and ± 2.5 dB under extreme conditions. Settings shall be provided to allow the output power to be reduced
from its maximum level in at least six steps of nominally 2 dB with an accuracy of ± 1 dB to allow a fine
adjustment of the coverage by the network operator. In addition, the actual absolute output power at each
static RF power step (N) shall be 2*N dB below the absolute output power at static RF power step 0 with a
tolerance of ± 3 dB under normal conditions and ± 4dB under extreme conditions. The static RF power
step 0 shall be the actual output power according to the TRX power class.
As an option the BSS can utilize downlink RF power control. In addition to the static RF power steps
described above, the BSS may then utilize up to 15 steps of power control levels with a step size of 2 dB
± 1.5 dB, in addition the actual absolute output power at each power control level (N) shall be 2*N dB
below the absolute output power at power control level 0 with a tolerance of ± 3 dB under normal
conditions and ± 4 dB under extreme conditions. The power control level 0 shall be the set output power
according to the TRX power class and the six power settings defined above.
Network operators may also specify the BTS output power including any Tx combiner, according to their
needs.
4.2 Output RF spectrum
The specifications contained in this section apply to both BTS and MS, in frequency hopping as well as in
non frequency hopping mode, except that beyond 1 800 kHz offset from the carrier the BTS is not tested
in frequency hopping mode.
Due to the bursty nature of the signal, the output RF spectrum results from two effects:
- the modulation process;
- the power ramping up and down (switching transients).

ETS 300 577 (GSM 05.05 version 4.16.1): January 1997
The two effects are specified separately; the measurement method used to analyse separately those two
effects is specified in GSM 11.10 and 11.20. It is based on the "ringing effect" during the transients, and is
a measurement in the time domain, at each point in frequency.
The limits specified hereunder are based on a 5-pole synchronously tuned measurement filter.
Unless otherwise stated, for the BTS, only one transmitter is active for the tests of this section.
4.2.1 Spectrum due to the modulation and wide band noise
The output RF modulation spectrum is specified in the following table. A mask representation of this
specification is shown in annex A. This specification applies for all RF channels supported by the
equipment.
The specification applies to the entire of the relevant transmit band and up to 2 MHz either side.
The figures in the table below, at the listed frequencies from the carrier (kHz), are the maximum level (dB)
relative to a measurement in 30 kHz on the carrier.
For the BTS, the power level is the "actual absolute output power" defined in subclause 4.1.2. If the power
level falls between two of the values in the table, the requirement shall be determined by linear
interpolation.

ETS 300 577 (GSM 05.05 version 4.16.1): January 1997
For BTS up to 1 800 kHz from the carrier and for MS in all cases:
Zero frequency scan, filter bandwidth and video bandwidth of 30 kHz up to 1 800 kHz from the carrier and
100 kHz beyond 1 800 kHz, with averaging done over 50 % to 90 % of the useful part of the transmitted
bursts, excluding the midamble, and then averaged over at least 200 such burst measurements. Above
1 800 kHz from the carrier only measurements centred on 200 kHz multiples are taken with averaging
over 50 bursts.
For BTS above 1 800 kHz from the carrier swept measurement with:
Filter and video bandwidth of 100 kHz, minimum sweep time of 75 ms, averaging over 200 sweeps. All
slots active, frequency hopping disabled.
When tests are done in frequency hopping mode, the averaging shall include only bursts transmitted when
the hopping carrier corresponds to the nominal carrier of the measurement. The specifications then apply
to the measurement results for any of the hopping frequencies.
The following exceptions and minimum measurement levels shall apply; all absolute levels in dBm shall
be measured using the same bandwidth as that used in the tables a) and b) above:
i) In the combined range 600 kHz to 6 MHz above and below the carrier, in up to three bands of
200 kHz width centred on a frequency which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz, exceptions at up to
-36 dBm are allowed.
ii) Above 6 MHz offset from the carrier in up to 12 bands of 200 kHz width centred on a frequency
which is an integer multiple of 200 kHz, exceptions at up to -36 dBm are allowed. For the BTS only
one transmitter is active for this test.
iii) For MS measured below 600 kHz from the carrier, if the limit according to the above table is below
-36 dBm, a value of -36 dBm shall be used instead. For 600 kHz up to less than 1 800 kHz this limit
shall be -56 dBm for DCS 1 800 MS and -51 dBm for GSM 900 MS.
