Global System for Mobile communications (GSM) - GSM Repeaters - Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU

The present document applies to the following radio equipment types:
1) Repeaters for GSM.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1-1.
NOTE 1: In some circumstances, for instance when an operator (or more than one operator who co-ordinate the use of repeaters), is not allocated a complete band as defined in table 1-1, it may be necessary to restrict the frequency range of operations of repeaters. In these circumstances, the test of "Gain outside pass band" in annex C may be used to verify the performance of the repeater.
NOTE 2: A repeater is designed to operate in one or several pass bands within the MS and BTS relevant transmit bands.
The present document covers requirements for GSM Repeaters for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10, 11 and 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.

Globalni sistem mobilnih komunikacij (GSM) - Ponavljalniki GSM - Harmonizirani standard, ki zajema bistvene zahteve člena 3.2 direktive 2014/53/EU

Ta dokument se uporablja za radijsko opremo naslednjih vrst:
1) ponavljalniki za GSM.
Ta vrsta radijske opreme lahko deluje v vseh delih frekvenčnih pasov iz preglednice 1-1.
OPOMBA 1: V nekaterih okoliščinah, ko operaterju (ali operaterjem, ki usklajujejo rabo ponavljalnikov) na primer ni dodeljen celoten pas, kot je določeno v preglednici 1-1, bo morda treba omejiti frekvenčno območje delovanja ponavljalnikov. V takšnih okoliščinah se za preverjanje učinkovitosti ponavljalnika lahko uporabi preskus dostopa zunaj prepustnega pasu iz dodatka C.
OPOMBA 2: ponavljalnik je namenjen delovanju v enem ali več pasovih v okviru pasov prenosa mobilne postaje (MS) in bazne sprejemno-oddajne postaje (BTS).
Ta dokument vključuje zahteve za ponavljalnike GSM za izdaje 8, 9, 10, 11 in 12 standarda 3GPP. Ta dokument vsebuje zahteve, s katerimi se dokazuje, da radijska oprema učinkovito uporablja in tudi podpira učinkovito uporabo radijskega spektra, tako da ne pride do škodljivih motenj.

Introduction
The present document is a revision of ETSI EN 300 609-4. The present document is part of a set of standards developed
by ETSI that are designed to fit in a modular structure to cover radio equipment within the scope of the Directive
2014/53/EU [i.1]. The present document is produced following the guidance in ETSI EG 203 336 [i.2] as applicable.

1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment types:
1) Repeaters for GSM.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1-1.
Table 1-1: GSM Repeater frequency bands
GSM band Direction of GSM Repeater relevant frequency bands
transmission
P-GSM 900 Downlink 935 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 890 MHz to 915 MHz
E-GSM 900 Downlink 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 880 MHz to 915 MHz
R-GSM 900 Downlink 921 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 876 MHz to 915 MHz
ER-GSM 900 Downlink 918 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 873 MHz to 915 MHz
DCS 1 800 Downlink 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz
Uplink 1 710 MHz to 1 785 MHz
GSM 450 Downlink 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz
Uplink 450,4 MHz to 457,6 MHz
GSM 480 Downlink 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz
Uplink 478,8 MHz to 486 MHz

NOTE 1: In some circumstances, for instance when an operator (or more than one operator who co-ordinate the use
of repeaters), is not allocated a complete band as defined in table 1-1, it may be necessary to restrict the
frequency range of operations of repeaters. In these circumstances, the test of "Gain outside pass band" in
annex C may be used to verify the performance of the repeater.
NOTE 2: A repeater is designed to operate in one or several pass bands within the MS and BTS relevant transmit
bands.
The present document covers requirements for GSM Repeaters for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10, 11 and 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.

pass band: frequency range that the Repeater operates in with operational configuration
NOTE: This frequency range can correspond to one or several consecutive nominal channels. If they are not
consecutive each subset of channels have to be considered as an individual pass band. The Repeater can
have one or several pass bands.
relevant band: frequency band of GSM Repeater declared by the manufacturer according to the designations in
table 1-1
repeater: bi-directional Radio Frequency (RF) amplifier which can amplify and transmit a received Mobile Station
(MS) signal in the GSM MS transmit band, simultaneously it can amplify and transmit a radiated or conducted received
Base Transceiver Station (BTS) RF signal in the GSM BTS transmit band
R-GSM: Railways GSM 900 band (includes P-GSM band and E-GSM band)
repeater system using frequency shift: repeater system consisting of two different elements, a master unit close to the
BTS and at least one remote unit close to the area to be covered

remote unit the shifted channels from the master unit will be transferred back to the original channels and
amplified. This is valid for the downlink signals as well as for the uplink signals.
