Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive [i.2]. The
modular structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.3].

ETSI
 8 ETSI EN 301 908-6 V5.2.1 (2011-07)

1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment type:

• User equipment for IMT-2000 CDMA TDD (UTRA TDD).

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: IMT-2000 CDMA TDD service frequency bands

UTRA TDD Band Direction of transmission IMT-2000 CDMA TDD service operating bands
a Transmit and Receive 1 900 MHz to 1 920 MHz
Transmit and Receive 2 010 MHz to 2 025 MHz
d Transmit and Receive 2 570 MHz to 2 620 MHz

The UTRA TDD component of IMT-2000 CDMA TDD supports three options of the TDD mode with the chip rates of
3,84 Mcps, 7,68 Mcps and 1,28 Mcps. These three options are called the 3,84 Mcps TDD option, the 1,28 Mcps TDD
option and the 7,68 Mcps TDD option respectively. The requirements are listed in different clauses only if the
parameters deviate. The present document covers requirements for:

• 3,84 Mcps UTRA TDD option user equipment for Releases 99, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9;

• 1,28 Mcps UTRA TDD option user equipment for Releases 4, 5, 6, 7, 8 and 9;

• 7,68 Mcps UTRA TDD option user equipment for Releases 7, 8 and 9.

For the case of IMB, only the 3,84 Mcps UTRA TDD option applies.

The present document covers the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] (R&TTE Directive) article 3.2, which states
that "… radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio
communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".

In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [i.2] may apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.

NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site: http://www.newapproach.org/.

4.2.11.1 Definition
The UE shall monitor the DPCH quality in order to detect a loss of the signal on layer 1. The threshold Qout specifies at
what DPCH quality levels the UE shall shut its power off. The threshold is defined by the condition under which the UE
shall shut its transmitter off as stated in this clause.

The OFF power is defined as the RRC filtered mean power measured over one chip when the transmitter is off.

5 Testing for compliance with technical requirements

5.1 Environmental conditions for testing

Tests defined in the present document shall be carried out at representative points within the boundary limits of the
required operational environmental profile.

Where technical performance varies subject to environmental conditions, tests shall be carried out under a sufficient
variety of environmental conditions (within the boundary limits of the required operational environmental profile) to
give confidence of compliance for the affected technical requirements.

Normally it should be sufficient for all tests to be conducted using normal test condition except where otherwise stated.
For guidance on the use of other test conditions to be used in order to show compliance reference can be made to
TS 134 122 [5].

5.2 Interpretation of the measurement results

The interpretation of the results recorded in a test report for the measurements described in the present document shall
be as follows:

• the measured value related to the corresponding limit shall be used to decide whether the user equipment
meets the requirements of the present document;

• the value of the measurement uncertainty for the measurement of each parameter shall be documented in the
test report;

• the recorded value of the measurement uncertainty shall be, for each measurement, equal to or lower than the
figures in table 5.2-1.

For the test methods, according to the present document, the measurement uncertainty figures shall be calculated in
accordance with TR 100 028 [i.4] and shall correspond to an expansion factor (coverage factor) k = 1,96 (which
provides a confidence level of 95 % in the case where the distributions characterizing the actual measurement
uncertainties are normal (Gaussian)). For guidance on other measurement conditions reference can be made to the
annexes of TS 134 122 [5].

Table 5.2-1 is based on this expansion factor.

NOTE 1: For RF tests it should be noted that the uncertainties in table 5.2-1 apply to the test system operating into a
nominal 50 Ω load and do not include system effects due to mismatch between the EUT and the test system.
NOTE 2: If the test system for a test is known to have a measurement uncertainty greater than that specified in
table 5.2-1, this equipment can still be used provided that an adjustment is made follows:
- any additional uncertainty in the test system over and above that specified in table 5.2-1 is used to tighten
the test requirements thus making the test harder to pass (for some tests, e.g. receiver tests, this may
require modification of stimulus signals). This procedure will ensure that a test system not compliant with
table 5.2-1 does not increase the probability of passing an EUT that would otherwise have failed a test if a
test system compliant with table 5.2-1 had been used.

5) Calculate the ACLR from the ratio of the power measured in 2) and the power measured in 4).

6) Repeat steps 3), 4) and 5) for the second lower adjacent RF channel (centre frequency 10 MHz for the
3,84 Mcps TDD Option, 3,2 MHz for the 1,28 Mcps TDD Option and 20 MHz for the 7,68 Mcps TDD Option
respectively, below the assigned channel frequency of the transmitted signal) and also for the first and second
upper adjacent RF channel (centre frequency 5 MHz for the 3,84 Mcps TDD Option, 1,6 MHz for the
1,28 Mcps TDD Option and 10 MHz for the 7,68 Mcps TDD Option respectively, above the assigned channel
frequency of the transmitted signal, and 10 MHz, for the 3,84 Mcps TDD Option, 3,2 MHz for the 1,28 Mcps
TDD Option and 20 MHz for the 7,68 Mcps TDD Option respectively above the assigned channel frequency of
the transmitted signal).

7) Run steps 1) to 6) for RF channels Low/Mid/High.

5.3.11.2 Test requirements

The ACLR calculated in steps 3) to 5) of clause 5.3.11.1.2 shall be equal or greater than the limits given in
table 4.2.12.2.1-1 for the 3,84 Mcps TDD option, table 4.2.12.2.2-1 for the 1,28 Mcps TDD option respectively and
table 4.2.12.2.3-1 for the 7,68 Mcps TDD option.

Annex A (normative):
HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications
Table (HS-RTT)
The HS Requirements and conformance Test specifications Table (HS-RTT) in table A-1 serves a number of purposes,
as follows:

• it provides a statement of all the requirements in words and by cross reference to (a) specific clause(s) in the
present document or to (a) specific clause(s) in (a) specific referenced document(s);

• it provides a statement of all the test procedures corresponding to those requirements by cross reference to (a)
specific clause(s) in the present document or to (a) specific clause(s) in (a) specific referenced document(s);

• it qualifies each requirement to be either:

- Unconditional: meaning that the requirement applies in all circumstances; or

- Conditional: meaning that the requirement is dependent on the manufacturer having chosen to support
optional functionality defined within the schedule.

• in the case of Conditional requirements, it associates the requirement with the particular optional service or
functionality;

• it qualifies each test procedure to be either:

- Essential: meaning that it is included with the Essential Radio Test Suite and therefore the requirement
shall be demonstrated to be met in accordance with the referenced procedures;

- Other: meaning that the test procedure is illustrative but other means of demonstrating compliance with
the requirement are permitted.

Key to columns:

Requirement:

No A unique identifier for one row of the table which may be used to identify a requirement or its test
specification.

Description A textual reference to the requirement.

Clause Number Identification of clause(s) defining the requirement in the present document unless another
document is referenced explicitly.

Requirement Conditionality:

U/C Indicates whether the requirement is to be unconditionally applicable (U) or is conditional upon
the manufacturers claimed functionality of the equipment (C).

Condition Explains the conditions when the requirement shall or shall not be applicable for a technical
requirement which is classified "conditional".

Test Specification:

E/O Indicates whether the test specification forms part of the Essential Radio Test Suite (E) or whether
it is one of the Other Test Suite (O).

NOTE: All tests whether "E" or "O" are relevant to the requirements. Rows designated "E" collectively make up
the Essential Radio Test Suite; those designated "O" make up the Other Test Suite; for those designated
"X" there is no test specified corresponding to the requirement. The completion of all tests classified "E"
as specified with satisfactory outcomes is a necessary condition for a presumption of conformity.
Compliance with requirements associated with tests classified "O" or "X" is a necessary condition for
presumption of conformity, although conformance with the requirement may be claimed by an equivalent
test or by manufacturer's assertion supported by appropriate entries in the technical construction file.

Clause Number Identification of clause(s) defining the test specification in the present document unless another
document is referenced explicitly. Where no test is specified (that is, where the previous field is
"X") this field remains blank.

Annex B (normative):
Environmental profile

B.1 General

B.1.1 Introduction
This normative annex defines the environmental profile of the UE.

B.1.2 Temperature
The UE should fulfil all the test requirements in the full temperature range as given in table B.1.2-1.

Table B.1.2-1: Temperatures

Range Conditions
+15 °C to +35 °C For normal conditions (with relative humidity of 25 % to 75 %)
-10 °C to +55 °C For extreme conditions (see IEC 60068-2-1 [6] and IEC 60068-2-2 [7])

The low and high extreme temperature conditions are denoted as TL (temperature low, -10 °C) and TH (temperature
high, +55 °C).

B.1.3 Voltage
The UE should fulfil all test requirements stated in the present document in the full voltage range between the extreme
supply voltages.

The manufacturer should declare a lower and a higher extreme supply voltage and an approximate shutdown voltage.
For equipment that can be operated from one or more of the power sources listed below, the lower extreme voltage
should not be higher, and the higher extreme voltage should not be lower than that specified in table B.1.3-1.

Table B.1.3-1: Supply voltages

Power source Lower extreme Higher extreme Normal conditions
voltage voltage voltage
AC mains 0,9 × nominal 1,1 × nominal nominal
Regulated lead acid battery 0,9 × nominal 1,3 × nominal 1,1 × nominal
Non regulated batteries:
Leclanché/lithium 0,85 × nominal Nominal Nominal
Mercury/nickel cadmium 0,90 × nominal Nominal Nominal

B.1.4 Test environment

Where a normal environment is required then the normal conditions shown in clauses B.1.2 and B.1.3 should be
applied.

Where an extreme environment is required then the various combinations of extreme temperatures together with the
extreme voltages shown in clauses B.1.2 and B.1.3 should be applied. The combinations are:

• Low extreme Temperature/Low extreme Voltage (TL/VL);

• Low extreme Temperature/High extreme Voltage (TL/VH);

• High extreme Temperature/Low extreme Voltage (TH/VL);

• High extreme Temperature/High extreme Voltage (TH/VH).

Annex C (informative):
The EN title in the official languages
The enlargement of the European Union (EU) resulted in a requirement from the EU for a larger number of languages
for the translation of the titles of Harmonized Standards and mandated ENs that are to be listed in the Official Journal to
support the implementation of this legislation.

For this reason the title translation concerning the present document can be consulted via the e-approval application.
