Chapter 25: RF Characteristics

Abstract

Radio-frequency (RF) requirements in terms of allowed transmission power, transmitted signal quality within the carrier, unwanted emissions outside the carrier, receiver sensitivity, and interference sensitivity are important to enable coexistence between operators and radio-access technologies. Spectrum flexibility is a key feature of NR and also has a profound impact on the RF requirements. This chapter provides a detail on how these parameters are defined as conducted requirements and as radiated requirements for devices and base stations. Multi-standard base stations operating NR together with other radio access is explained. In addition, RF requirements for multiband base stations and operation ...
