Overview

SIST EN 301 908-14 V17.1.1:2025 is the harmonised European standard for E-UTRA (LTE) Base Stations (BS) - Release 17, adopted by SIST from ETSI EN 301 908-14. It specifies technical characteristics and measurement methods required for radio spectrum access for three equipment types:

  • E-UTRA Base Stations (BS)
  • E-UTRA BS with NB‑IoT capability
  • NB‑IoT standalone Base Stations

The standard defines conformance and measurement procedures required for regulatory access to spectrum across the E‑UTRA operating bands listed in the document. Note: UTRA TDD is not included in Release 17. NB‑IoT operating bands covered include 1, 3, 8, 20, 28, 31, 41, 42, 43, 65, 72, 87 and 88. Frame Structure Type 2 (TDD duplex mode) requirements apply to both downlink and uplink unless stated otherwise.

Key Topics and Technical Requirements

This harmonised standard covers the full chain of RF and system-level requirements necessary for conformity assessment and spectrum access:

  • Environmental profile and conformance requirements (test conditions and operating classes)
  • Operating band unwanted emissions and band-specific emission limits
  • Adjacent Channel Leakage Ratio (ACLR) and cumulative ACLR for non-contiguous spectrum
  • Transmitter spurious emissions, intermodulation and output power requirements
  • Receiver characteristics: spurious emissions, blocking, intermodulation, adjacent channel selectivity (ACS) and narrow-band blocking
  • Reference sensitivity levels and minimum performance thresholds
  • Listen Before Talk (LBT) channel access procedures for downlink channel access where applicable
  • Detailed measurement methods and conformance criteria for test labs and manufacturers

The standard contains band-specific annexes and tables that define limits and additional coexistence requirements (e.g., for co-existence with FSS/FS and special bands).

Applications and Practical Value

  • Product design and RF engineering: Guidance for RF front‑end, filtering and transmitter/receiver design to meet regulatory spectrum masks and ACLR.
  • Regulatory type-approval & certification: Basis for conformity assessment when seeking spectrum access or market entry in the EU.
  • Test laboratories: Standardized measurement procedures for emissions, blocking, ACS, ACLR and sensitivity testing.
  • Network operators and deployers: Ensures base stations comply with coexistence and interference mitigation requirements for safe deployment.
  • Spectrum regulators: Reference for enforcement and national harmonisation of IMT/LTE deployments.

Who should use this standard

  • Base station manufacturers (LTE / NB‑IoT)
  • RF and systems engineers
  • Conformity assessment bodies and test houses
  • Mobile network operators and planners
  • National spectrum regulators

Related standards

  • Other parts of the EN 301 908 series (ETSI) covering IMT cellular networks
  • Relevant 3GPP specifications for E‑UTRA / NB‑IoT (used alongside this harmonised standard)
  • National and EU spectrum regulation documents

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the types of equipment:
1) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
2) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) with NB-IoT.
3) Base Station for NB-IoT standalone.
NOTE: UTRA TDD is not included in Release 17 of ETSI EN 301 908.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the operating bands given in table 1-1. Unless
stated otherwise, requirements specified for the TDD duplex mode apply for downlink and uplink operations in Frame
Structure Type 2. NB-IoT is designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 8, 20, 28, 31, 41, 42, 43, 65, 72,
87, 88 which are defined in table 1-1.

1 Scope
The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for the types of equipment:
1) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA).
2) Base Station for Evolved Universal Terrestrial Radio Access (E-UTRA) with NB-IoT.
3) Base Station for NB-IoT standalone.
NOTE: UTRA TDD is not included in Release 17 of ETSI EN 301 908.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the operating bands given in table 1-1. Unless
stated otherwise, requirements specified for the TDD duplex mode apply for downlink and uplink operations in Frame
Structure Type 2. NB-IoT is designed to operate in the E-UTRA operating bands 1, 3, 8, 20, 28, 31, 41, 42, 43, 65, 72,
87, 88 which are defined in table 1-1.
