SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 is the Slovenian adoption of ETSI EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1, a Harmonized European Standard for IMT cellular networks. It specifies radio requirements and conformance tests for CDMA Direct Spread (UTRA FDD) Base Stations (BS) so manufacturers and test labs can demonstrate compliance with article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive on efficient spectrum use and avoidance of harmful interference.

What does SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 specify?

SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 applies to IMT 2000 CDMA Direct Spread (UTRA FDD) Base Stations operating in the declared bands listed in the standard, including bands I, III, VII, VIII, XV, XVI, XX and XXII. It covers Release 99 through Release 10 features and also includes requirements for operating bands identified for the 6th release, including the 3.5 GHz band.

The document is organized in the usual ETSI structure:

• clause 1 scope
• clause 2 references
• clause 3 definitions, symbols and abbreviations
• clause 4 technical requirements
• clause 5 test methods
• annexes for conformance tables, configurations and environmental profile guidance

Annex	What it covers
Annex A	HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications Table (HS-RTT)
Annex B	Base Station configurations for testing
Annex C	Environmental profile specification
Annex E	Bibliography

Clause 4 also says that a supplier declares the Base Station class and operating band(s), and that multi-band equipment is tested separately for each declared band. That matters in practice because the same unit may need different results for different transmit and receive bands.

What are the key requirements of SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014?

SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 sets the essential radio requirements that support the spectrum-use and interference-avoidance objective of the R&TTE Directive. The main technical topics are transmitter emissions, output power accuracy, receiver robustness and the special requirements for Home BS.

Transmit-side requirements

Clause 4.2.2 sets the spectrum emissions mask. This controls out-of-band emissions close to the wanted carrier, and Home BS have additional mask requirements. For Band XX, the manufacturer must also declare emission levels used for digital terrestrial television (DTT) protection. In practice, this tells you how tightly the transmitter must stay inside its assigned spectrum and what must be declared for shared-band operation.

Clause 4.2.3 defines Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR). ACLR compares the wanted channel power to the power leaking into adjacent channels. This matters because adjacent-channel leakage is one of the main causes of interference to nearby carriers.

Clause 4.2.4 covers transmitter spurious emissions. The requirement is split into several coexistence cases: protection of other systems, protection of services in adjacent bands, protection of BS receivers, and extra protection cases for Home BS operating in other bands. Practically, this means the transmitter must stay clean not only in its own band but also in neighboring spectrum and in shared deployments.

Clause 4.2.5 covers Base Station maximum output power. The output power must stay close to the manufacturer’s rated value in normal and extreme operating conditions, with different limits below and above 3 GHz. This is the main check on power accuracy and power control behavior.

Clause 4.2.6 covers transmit intermodulation. The transmitter is tested with a wanted signal plus an interfering WCDMA signal at defined offsets, and the resulting intermodulation products must remain within the emission limits. In practice, this checks how well the transmitter handles nonlinear behavior when strong signals are present together.

Receive-side requirements

Clause 4.2.7 covers receiver spurious emissions. These are emissions that appear at the BS antenna connector because of receiver activity, and the requirement differs for common and separate Rx/Tx antenna ports. This matters for equipment where the receiver and transmitter share or separate antenna paths.

Clause 4.2.8 covers blocking characteristics. The receiver must keep a bit error ratio (BER) within the limit in the presence of strong unwanted signals outside the adjacent channels, with class-dependent wanted and interfering signal levels. For bands III and VIII, there is also a narrowband blocking requirement using GMSK-modulated interference.

Clause 4.2.9 covers receiver intermodulation characteristics. Here, two or more interfering signals are applied, and the receiver must still keep BER within the limit. That tells you how well the receiver survives combinations of strong signals, not just one blocker at a time.

Clause 4.2.10 covers Receiver adjacent channel selectivity (ACS). The receiver must tolerate an adjacent-channel interferer at defined offsets while keeping BER within limits, and Home BS have an additional ACS requirement. This is important when nearby channels are reused in the same area.

Clause 4.2.11 adds a Home BS-specific function: output power for adjacent channel protection. A Home BS must be able to reduce output power to limit interference on a neighboring licensed channel while still maintaining coverage. That is a practical requirement for femtocell-style deployments in shared residential or local spectrum use.

Test and measurement rules

Clause 5 says tests are performed at representative points within the declared environmental profile and usually on RF channels B, M and T, meaning bottom, middle and top of the operating band. Clause 5.2 requires the measurement uncertainty to be documented and used when judging pass or fail. Clause 5.3 then gives the essential radio test suites for all the main requirements.

What terms does SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 define?

• Base Station class - The standard uses wide area, medium range, local area and Home BS classes, and the declared class determines several test levels and limits.
• Environmental profile - The declared range of pressure, temperature, humidity and power-supply conditions under which the equipment must still comply.
• Adjacent Channel Leakage power Ratio (ACLR) - The ratio of wanted-channel power to adjacent-channel power, used to judge how much signal leaks into neighboring channels.
• Adjacent Channel Selectivity (ACS) - A receiver measure showing how well it rejects a signal on an adjacent channel compared with the wanted channel.
• Maximum output power - The mean power per carrier measured at the antenna connector in a specified reference condition.
• Root raised cosine filtered mean power - The mean power measured through a root raised cosine filter, used in ACLR and related receiver and transmitter checks.
• Bit Error Ratio (BER) - The ratio used in receiver tests to decide whether the wanted signal is still received correctly under interference.

Who uses SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014?

SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 is used by Base Station manufacturers, RF design engineers, test laboratories, conformity assessment bodies and procurement teams working with UTRA FDD equipment. It helps them choose the right class and band, design transmitter filtering and receiver selectivity, and plan testing for duplexers, antenna arrays, diversity paths and MIMO.

Telecom operators and buyers use it when checking whether a proposed BS is suitable for a specific band or deployment scenario, especially where spectrum is shared with other systems. It is also relevant for Home BS deployments, where adjacent-channel protection and power control are part of normal operation.

Which standards are used with SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014?

• ETSI EN 301 908-1 - Provides the common requirements for the EN 301 908 series.
• ETSI TS 125 141 - Supplies the UTRA FDD base-station conformance test model, setups, BER procedures and annexed test information used throughout clause 5.
• ETSI TS 125 104 - Provides the UTRA FDD BS radio transmission and reception requirements used as a technical companion.
• Recommendation ITU-R SM.329-12 - Gives the reference guidance for unwanted emissions in the spurious domain.
• Recommendation ITU-T O.153 - Provides the statistical basis for BER measurement and testing.
• ETSI TS 145 004 - Supplies the modulation reference used in the document’s signal descriptions.
• ETSI EN 301 908-18 - Provides alternative corresponding requirements and test suites for UTRA FDD Wide Area BS.
• ETSI TS 102 735 - Provides band-specific UMTS FDD requirements for certain paired bands.

What does the SIST EN 301 908-3 V6.2.1:2014 document contain?

The document contains detailed limit tables and step-by-step test methods for the main RF requirements, including spectrum emission mask, ACLR, spurious emissions, output power, transmit intermodulation, blocking, receiver intermodulation, ACS and Home BS adjacent-channel protection. Clause 5 gives the practical test conditions: initial setup, signal generation, detector type, offsets, bandwidths and how to compare results with the limits.

Annex A condenses the requirements into the HS-RTT table for conformity assessment. Annex B explains how to test receivers with diversity, duplexers, optional power supplies, ancillary RF amplifiers, antenna arrays, transmit diversity, MIMO and an integrated Iuant BS modem. Annex C gives the environmental profile items a supplier may declare, and the bibliography points to related ETSI, ITU and regulatory documents used around the standard.

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 III and VIII 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 [5] 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 supplier shall declare the Base Station class and operating band(s) for the Base Station. The technical requirements
in the present document apply for Base Stations supporting UTRA FDD, for the declared Base Station class and
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Base Station supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed for each operating band.
The technical requirements also apply to the BS configurations described in annex B.
For an UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], conformance with the technical
requirements listed in table 4.2.1-1 can equally be demonstrated through the corresponding technical requirements and
test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8], as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
When conformance is demonstrated through the test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8] for these technical requirements, the
corresponding test suites in the present document need not be performed.

NOTE: Conformance with the UTRA ACLR requirement is for an MSR BS demonstrated through the requirement in
clause 4.2.3 of the present document and the corresponding test suite in clause 5.3.2.

NOTE: There are EC and ECC Decisions for the harmonisation of certain frequency bands for terrestrial systems
capable of providing electronic communications services, including technical conditions and parameters
related to spectrum usage of the bands. These are related to the deployment and installation of the
equipment, but are not related to the conformity of the equipment with the present document.
For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the
assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply
relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

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 III and VIII 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 [5] 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.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

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 III and VIII 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 [5] 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 supplier shall declare the Base Station class and operating band(s) for the Base Station. The technical requirements
in the present document apply for Base Stations supporting UTRA FDD, for the declared Base Station class and
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Base Station supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed for each operating band.
The technical requirements also apply to the BS configurations described in annex B.
For an UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], conformance with the technical
requirements listed in table 4.2.1-1 can equally be demonstrated through the corresponding technical requirements and
test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8], as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
When conformance is demonstrated through the test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8] for these technical requirements, the
corresponding test suites in the present document need not be performed.

NOTE: Conformance with the UTRA ACLR requirement is for an MSR BS demonstrated through the requirement in
clause 4.2.3 of the present document and the corresponding test suite in clause 5.3.2.

NOTE: There are EC and ECC Decisions for the harmonisation of certain frequency bands for terrestrial systems
capable of providing electronic communications services, including technical conditions and parameters
related to spectrum usage of the bands. These are related to the deployment and installation of the
equipment, but are not related to the conformity of the equipment with the present document.
For ACS, blocking and intermodulation characteristics, the negative offsets of the interfering signal apply relative to the
assigned channel frequency of the lowest carrier frequency received and positive offsets of the interfering signal apply
relative to the assigned channel frequency of the highest carrier frequency received.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.

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 III and VIII 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 [5] 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.

in the present document apply for Base Stations supporting UTRA FDD, for the declared Base Station class and
operating band(s) as outlined for each requirement. For a Base Station supporting more than one operating band,
conformance testing for each technical requirement in clause 5 shall be performed for each operating band.
The technical requirements also apply to the BS configurations described in annex B.
For an UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], conformance with the technical
requirements listed in table 4.2.1-1 can equally be demonstrated through the corresponding technical requirements and
test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8], as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
When conformance is demonstrated through the test suites in EN 301 908-18 [8] for these technical requirements, the
corresponding test suites in the present document need not be performed.

4.2.2 Spectrum emissions mask
For a UTRA FDD Wide Area BS additionally conforming to EN 301 908-18 [8], either the requirement of the present
clause or the Operating band unwanted emissions requirement in clause 4.2.2 of EN 301 908-18 [8] can be equally
applied, as listed in table 4.2.1-2.
4.2.2.1 Definition
Out-of-band emissions are unwanted emissions immediately outside the channel bandwidth resulting from the
modulation process and non-linearity in the transmitter but excluding spurious emissions. This out-of-band emission
limit is specified in terms of a spectrum emission mask and adjacent channel leakage power ratio for the transmitter.
4.2.2.2 Limit
The requirement shall be met by a Base Station transmitting on a single RF carrier configured in accordance with the
manufacturer's specification. Emissions shall not exceed the maximum level specified in tables 4.2.2.2-1 to 4.2.2.2-4 for
the appropriate BS maximum output power, in the frequency range from Δf = 2,5 MHz to Δf from the carrier
max
frequency, where:
• Δf is the separation between the carrier frequency and the nominal -3 dB point of the measuring filter closest
to the carrier frequency;
• f_offset is the separation between the carrier frequency and the centre of the measurement filter;
• f_offset is either 12,5 MHz or the offset to the UMTS Tx band edge as defined in clause 1, whichever is the
max
greater;
• Δf is equal to f_offset minus half of the bandwidth of the measuring filter.
