Full Description
The present document defines the requirements for the transceiver of the pan-European digital cellulartelecommunications systems GSM.
Requirements are defined for two categories of parameters:those that are required to provide compatibility between the radio channels, connected either to separate orcommon antennas, that are used in the system. This category also includes parameters providing compatibilitywith existing systems in the same or adjacent frequency bands;those that define the transmission quality of the system.This EN defines RF characteristics for the Mobile Station (MS) and Base Station System (BSS). The BSS will containBase Transceiver Stations (BTS), which can be normal BTS, micro-BTS or pico-BTS. The precise measurementmethods are specified in 3GPP TS 11.10 and 3GPP TS 11.21.
Unless otherwise stated, the requirements defined in this EN apply to the full range of environmental conditionsspecified for the equipment (see annex D).
In the present document some relaxation's are introduced for GSM 400 MSs, GSM 900 MSs and GSM 850 MSs whichpertain to power class 4 or 5 (see subclause 4.1.1). In the present document these Mobile Stations are referred to as"small MS".
MSs may operate on more than one of the frequency bands specified in clause 2. These MSs, defined in 3GPPTS 02.06, are referred to as "Multi band MSs" in this EN. Multi band MSs shall meet all requirements for each of thebands supported. The relaxation on GSM 400 MSs, GSM 900 MSs and GSM 850 MSs for a "small MS" are also validfor a multi band MS if it complies with the definition of a small MS.
The RF characteristics of repeaters are defined in annex E of this EN. Annexes D and E are the only clauses of this ENapplicable to repeaters. Annex E does not apply to the MS or BSS.
This document also includes specification information for mixed mode operation at 850 MHz and 1900 MHz. (MXM850 and MXM 1900). 850 MHz and 1900 MHz mixed-mode is defined as a network that deploys both 30 kHz RFcarriers and 200 kHz RF carriers in geographic regions where the Federal Communications Commission (FCC)regulations are applied or adopted.
The requirements for a MS in a mixed-mode system, MXM 850 and MXM 1900, correspond to the requirements forGSM 850 MS and PCS 1900 MS respectively.
