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 manufacturer. 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 manufacturer can declare the environmental profile, see annex C.
4.2 Conformance requirements
4.2.1 Introduction
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 bands 3 and 8 also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics.
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] for IMT Repeaters, a set of essential
parameters in addition to those in ETSI EN 301 908-1 [i.3] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1 provides a cross
reference between these essential parameters and the corresponding technical requirements for equipment within the
scope of the present document.

NOTE: Some of the essential parameters of the ETSI EG 203 336 [i.2] are not included into the present document
since those requirements are not applicable for repeater equipment.
The manufacturer shall declare operating band(s) for the Repeater. The technical requirements apply for the declared
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Repeater supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed.
The technical requirements also apply to Repeater configurations described in annex B.
For a Repeater declared to support Band 20, the manufacturer shall additionally declare the following quantities
associated with the applicable test conditions of table 4.2.2.2.4-1 and information in annex G of ETSI TS 136 104 [i.5]:
• P Declared emission level for channel N

4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (Recommendation ITU-R
SM.329-12 [i.6]). 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
4.2.2.2.0 General
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

Uplink 3 410 MHz to 3 490 MHz
28 Downlink 758 MHz to 803 MHz
Uplink 703 MHz to 748 MHz
32 Downlink 1 452 MHz to 1 496 MHz
(note 1)
Uplink N/A
(note 2)
NOTE 1: Restricted to E-UTRA operation when carrier aggregation is configured. The downlink operating
band is paired with the uplink operating band (external) of the carrier aggregation configuration
that is supporting the configured Pcell.
NOTE 2: Radio equipment in band XXXII is only allowed to operate between 1 452 MHz and 1 492 MHz.

The present document covers requirements for E-UTRA Repeaters for Release 8, 9, 10 and 11. This includes the
requirements for E UTRA Repeater operating bands and E-UTRA CA operating bands from 3GPP Release 12.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that Radio equipment both effectively uses and supports
the efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.

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 manufacturer. 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 manufacturer can declare the environmental profile, see annex C.
4.2 Conformance requirements
4.2.1 Introduction
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 bands 3 and 8 also GSM) or systems having compatible characteristics.
To meet the essential requirement under article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] for IMT Repeaters, a set of essential
parameters in addition to those in ETSI EN 301 908-1 [i.3] have been identified. Table 4.2.1-1 provides a cross
reference between these essential parameters and the corresponding technical requirements for equipment within the
scope of the present document.

NOTE: Some of the essential parameters of the ETSI EG 203 336 [i.2] are not included into the present document
since those requirements are not applicable for repeater equipment.
The manufacturer shall declare operating band(s) for the Repeater. The technical requirements apply for the declared
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Repeater supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed.
The technical requirements also apply to Repeater configurations described in annex B.
For a Repeater declared to support Band 20, the manufacturer shall additionally declare the following quantities
associated with the applicable test conditions of table 4.2.2.2.4-1 and information in annex G of ETSI TS 136 104 [i.5]:

4.2.2 Operating band unwanted emissions
4.2.2.1 Definition
Unwanted emissions consist of out of band emissions and spurious emissions (Recommendation ITU-R
SM.329-12 [i.6]). 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
4.2.2.2.0 General
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;
• 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.
