NOTE:

• ATBR in the TX/RX Channel column indicates that the RF module uses A transmit
channels and B receive channels.
• The GSM receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 51.021, is measured at the
antenna connector assuming that the channel rate is 13 kbit/s and the bit error rate (BER)
is lower than or equal to 2%.
• The UMTS receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured at the
antenna connector assuming that the channel rate is 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is lower than
or equal to 0.001.
• The LTE FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured
under a 5 MHz channel bandwidth based on the FRC A1-3 in Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3,
25 RBs) standard.
• The LTE NB-IoT receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 36.104, is measured
under a 200 kHz bandwidth and a 15 kHz subcarrier spacing based on the FRC A14-1 in
Annex A.14 (π/2 BPSK, R = 1/3, one RB) standard.
• The NR FDD receiver sensitivity, as recommended in 3GPP TS 38.104, is measured under
a 5 MHz bandwidth based on the Annex A.1 (QPSK, R = 1/3) standard.

NR SUL Carrier Configuration

When NR SUL carriers are configured, the uplink bandwidth of LTE carriers enabled with LTE and NR
uplink spectrum sharing must be the same as the uplink bandwidth of NR carriers. The following table
lists the bandwidths. The uplink bandwidth of LTE carriers not enabled with uplink spectrum sharing is
the same as their downlink bandwidth. For details about the downlink bandwidth, see "Typical Output
Power".

NOTE:

• DC RRUs can use external power modules (such as AC/DC power modules, OPM15M,
and OPM50M) to support AC scenarios. For details about the external power modules, see
user guides of the corresponding models.
• The typical power consumption of an RF module is measured when the ambient
temperature is 25°C and the traffic load reaches 50%. The actual power consumption has a
10% deviation from this value.
