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 1800 MHz bands within
the European digital cellular telecommunications system (Phase 2).
This ETS correspond to GSM technical specification, GSM 05.05 version 4.10.0.
The specification from which this ETS has been derived was originally based on CEPT documentation,
hence the presentation of this ETS may not be entirely in accordance with the ETSI/PNE rules.
Reference is made within this ETS to GSM Technical Specifications (GSM-TSs) (NOTE).
NOTE: TC-SMG has produced documents which give the technical specifications for the
implementation of the European 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.
Proposed transposition dates
Date of adoption of this ETS: 30 July 1995
Date of latest announcement of this ETS (doa): 31 October 1995
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this ETS (dop/e): 30 April 1996
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 30 April 1996

1.1 Scope
This standard defines the requirements for the transceiver of the pan-european digital mobile cellular and
personal communication systems operating in the 900 MHz and 1800 MHz band (GSM 900 and DCS
1800).
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 standard 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 standard apply to the full range of environmental
conditions specified for the equipment (see Annex D).
In this standard some relaxations are introduced for GSM 900 mobile stations which fulfill the following
conditions:
- pertain to power class 4 or 5 (see section 4.1.1);
- have a total weight less than 200 g (excluding battery);
3
- have a volume less than 500 cm (excluding battery).
In this standard these mobile stations are referred to as "small MS".
The RF characteristics of repeaters are defined in Annex E of this standard. Annex D and E are the only
sections of this standard applicable to repeaters. Annex E does not apply to the MS or BSS.
1.2 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
hereafter. For dated references, subsequent amendments to or revisions of any of these publications

1.3 Definitions and abbreviations
Definitions and abbreviations used in this specification are listed in GSM 01.04.
2 Frequency bands and channel arrangement
For GSM 900, the system is required to operate, at least, in the following frequency band (primary band P-
GSM 900):
890 - 915 MHz : mobile transmit, base receive
935 - 960 MHz : base transmit, mobile receive
For DCS 1800, the system is required to operate in the following frequency band:
1710 - 1785 MHz : mobile transmit, base receive
1805 - 1880 MHz : base transmit, mobile receive
Furthermore, in some countries, GSM 900 is allowed to operate in part of all of the following extension
band G1:
880 - 890 MHz : mobile transmit, base receive
925 - 935 MHz : base transmit, mobile receive
The carrier spacing is 200 kHz.
NOTE: The term GSM 900 is used for any GSM system which operates in any 900 MHz band.
P-GSM 900 band is the primary band for GSM 900. E-GSM 900 band includes the
primary band (P-GSM 900) and the extension band (G1).
The carrier frequency is designated by the absolute radio frequency channel number (ARFCN). If we call
Fl(n) the frequency value of the carrier 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 1 n 124 Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
E-GSM 900 Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*n 0 n 124 Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 45
Fl(n) = 890 + 0.2*(n-1024) 975 n 1023
DCS 1800 Fl(n) = 1710.2 + 0.2*(n-512) 512 n 885 Fu(n) = Fl(n) + 95
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).
Power GSM 900 DCS 1800 Tolerance (dB)
class Maximum output Maximum output for conditions
power power normal extreme
1 - - - - - - 1 W (30 dBm) ± 2 ± 2.5
2 8 W (39 dBm) 0.25 W (24 dBm) ± 2 ± 2.5
3 5 W (37 dBm) ± 2 ± 2.5
4 2 W (33 dBm) ± 2 ± 2.5
5 0.8 W (29 dBm) ± 2 ± 2.5
NOTE: The lowest power control level for all classes of GSM 900 MS is
19 and for all classes of DCS 1800 MS is 15.
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.

Furthermore the output power actually transmitted by the MS at each of the power control levels shall form
a monotonic 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:
GSM 900 DCS 1800
TRX Maximum TRX Maximum

ETS 300 577: July 1995 (GSM 05.05 version 4.10.0)
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 1800 micro-BTS
TRX Maximum TRX Maximum
power class output power power class output power
M1 (>19) - 24 dBm ((>0.08) - 0.25 W) M1 (>27) - 32 dBm ((>0.5) - 1.6 W)
M2 (>14) - 19 dBm ((>0.03) - 0.08 W) M2 (>22) - 27 dBm ((>0.16) - 0.5 W)
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 utilise downlink RF power control. In addition to the static RF power steps
described above, the BSS may then utilise 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 1800 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).
The two effects are specified separately; the measurement method used to analyze 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 mask applies for all RF channels mentioned in section 2.
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.

The specifications assume the following measurement conditions.
For BTS up to 1800 kHz from the carrier and for MS in all cases:
Zero frequency scan, filter bandwidth and video bandwidth of 30 kHz up to 1800 kHz from the carrier and
100 kHz beyond 1800 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
1800 kHz from the carrier only measurements centred on 200 kHz multiples are taken with averaging over
50 bursts.
For BTS above 1800 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 1800 kHz this limit
shall be -56 dBm for DCS 1800 MS and -51 dBm for GSM 900 MS. At 1800 kHz and beyond, this
limit shall be -51 dBm for DCS 1800 MS and -46 dBm for GSM 900 MS.
iv) for BTS, if the limit according to the above table is below L, a value L shall be used instead, where L
is L1 dB relative to the output power of the BTS at the lowest static power level measured at 30
kHz, or L2 dBm, whichever is higher
For up to 1800 kHz from the carrier: L1 = - 88 dB
Beyond 1800 kHz: L1 = - 83 dB
For GSM 900 BTS: L2 = - 65 dBm
For DCS 1800 BTS: L2 = - 57 dBm
The micro-BTS spectrum due to modulation and noise at all frequency offsets greater than 1.8MHz from
carrier shall be -70 dB for all GSM 900 micro-BTS classes and -76 dB for all DCS 1800 micro-BTS
classes. These are average levels in 100kHz relative to a measurement in 30kHz on carrier. The
measurement will be made in non-frequency hopping mode under the conditions specified for the normal
BTS.
The following exceptions and minimum measurement levels shall apply for the micro-BTS:-
i) for the micro-BTS, if the limit as specified above is below the values in the following table, then the
values in the table will be used instead.
