1 INTRODUCTION 1

1.1 Scope 2

This Standard details definitions, methods of measurement, and minimum performance 3

requirements for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) repeaters. This Standard shares 4

the purpose of [2] and [4] (and subsequent revisions thereof) by ensuring that a mobile 5

station can obtain service in any system that meets the compatibility requirements of [2] 6

and [4]. 7

Compatibility, as used in connection with this Standard, [2] and [4], is understood to mean 8

that any mobile station is able to place and receive calls in any system. Conversely, all 9

systems are able to place and receive calls with any mobile station. 10

This Standard details definitions, methods of measurement, and minimum performance 11

requirements for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) Repeaters. Test methods are 12

recommended in this document; however, methods other than those recommended may 13

suffice for the same purpose. 14

2 CDMA INPUT PORTS MINIMUM STANDARDS 1

2.1 Frequency Coverage Requirements 2

2.1.1 Definition 3

Frequency coverage of the repeater is dependent upon the amplifiers and filtering 4

contained within the repeater. The intended use of a repeater in a system is to amplify the 5

in-band signals and not to amplify the out-of-band emissions of the donor Base station or 6

other ambient signals. 7

2.1.2 Method of Measurement 8

1. Connect the equipment as shown in Figure 6.1-1 for the Forward link signal path. 9

2. Configure the repeater to its maximum gain setting. If the repeater supports an 10

adjustable passband span or adjustable supported channels, see 5.2 for additional 11

test requirements. 12

3. Configure the signal generator at the repeater input port to produce a CW signal at 13

an amplitude approximately 5 dB below the level that would cause the maximum 14

rated mean output power from the repeater for the configured gain setting at the 15

center of its passband. 16

4. Sweep the signal generator from 30 MHz to at least 4 times the maximum operating 17

frequency of the repeater while recording the gain versus frequency response of the 18

repeater with a spectrum (or network) analyzer using a resolution bandwidth of 3.0 19

MHz. 20

5. Re-sweep the signal generator over all frequencies that are found to be 6 dB or more 21

above the noise floor of the spectrum (or network) analyzer in step 4 as follows. 22

Start the sweep at least 100 MHz below the lowest frequency from step 4 where the 23

recorded gain is 6 dB or more above the noise floor and sweep to at least 100 MHz 24

above the highest frequency from step 4 where the recorded gain is 6 dB or more 25

above the noise floor while recording the gain versus frequency response of the 26

repeater with a spectrum (or network) analyzer using a resolution bandwidth of 30 27

kHz. 28

6. Measure the minimum attenuation relative to the minimum gain in the passband 29

under test at frequency offsets from the highest supported CDMA channel center 30

frequency, using the data from 5, as detailed in Table 2.1-1. 31

3GPP2 C.S0051-A v1.0

< 50 MHz to 4 times the maximum operating

frequency of the repeater

7. Measure the minimum attenuation relative to the minimum gain in the passband 3

under test at frequency offsets from the lowest supported CDMA channel center 4

frequency, using the data from 5, as detailed in Table 2.1-2. 5

8. Measure the maximum gain at frequency offsets from the highest supported CDMA 8

channel center frequency in the passband under test, using the data from 5, as 9

detailed in Table 2.1-1. 10

9. Measure the maximum gain at frequency offsets from the lowest supported CDMA 11

channel center frequency in the passband under test, using the data from 5, as 12

detailed in Table 2.1-2. 13

10. Measure the minimum and maximum gain between 615 kHz below the lowest 14

supported channel center frequency and 615 KHz above the highest supported 15

channel center frequency in the passband under test, using the data from 5. 16

11. Repeat steps 3 through 9 for each passband supported by the repeater. (Each 17

passband is independently evaluated; i.e., gain from a passband that is not under 18

test is ignored.) 19

12. Repeat steps 3 through 11 for the Reverse link signal path of the repeater. 20

13. Repeat step 5 with the repeater configured to its minimum gain setting, except that 21

the sweep need only be preformed over the passbands identified during the 22

maximum gain measurements. Then repeat steps 10 through 12 using the gain 23

versus frequency response data recorded at minimum gain. 24

2.1.3 Minimum Standard 1

1. The manufacturer shall declare the CDMA channel numbers supported for each 2

passband in the repeater and these channels shall comply with the frequency 3

coverage requirements of [3]. 4

2. For each passband, the difference between the measured minimum and maximum 5

gain between 615 KHz below the center frequency of the lowest supported channel 6

and 615 KHz above the center frequency of the highest supported channel, as 7

measured in step 10, shall be no more than 6.0 dB. 8

3. The manufacturer shall declare the minimum and maximum gain for each repeater 9

passband. 10

4. The minimum gain, as measured when the repeater is set to its maximum gain 11

setting, in the passband under test, shall be no less than 4.0 dB below the 12

maximum gain rated by the manufacturer, for each passband. (Each passband is 13

independently evaluated (i.e., gain from a passband that is not under test is 14

ignored).) 15

5. The maximum gain, as measured when the repeater is set to its minimum gain 16

setting, in the passband under test, shall be no greater than 4.0 dB above the 17

minimum gain rated by the manufacturer, for each passband. (Each passband is 18

independently evaluated (i.e., gain from a passband that is not under test is 19

ignored).) 20

3. Use the test setup as defined in steps 4 and 5 and measure the radiated emissions 13

of the repeater using the measurement procedure defined in step 6. 14

4 Standard Radiation Test Site 15

a. The test site shall be on level ground that is of uniform electrical 16

characteristics. The site shall be clear of metallic objects, overhead wires, 17

etc., and shall be as free as possible from undesired signals, such as ignition 18

noise and other carriers. Reflecting objects, such as rain gutters and power 19

cables, shall lie outside an ellipse measuring 60 meters on the major axis by 20

52 meters on the minor axis for a 30-meter site, or an ellipse measuring 6 21

meters on the major axis by 5.2 meters on the minor axis for a 3-meter site. 22

The equipment under test shall be located at one focus of the ellipse and the 23

measuring antenna at the other focus. If desired, shelters may be provided 24

at the test site to protect the equipment and personnel. All such 25

construction shall be of wood, plastic, or other non-metallic material. All 26

power, telephone, and control circuits to the site shall be buried at least 0.3 27

meter under ground. 28

A turntable, essentially flush with the ground, shall be provided that can be 29

remotely controlled. A platform 1.2 meters high shall be provided on this 30

turntable to hold the equipment under test. Any power and control cables 31

that are used for this equipment should extend down to the turntable, and 32

any excess cabling should be coiled on the turntable. 33

If the equipment to be tested is mounted in racks and is not easily removed 34

for testing on the above platform, then the manufacturer may elect to test 35

the equipment when it is mounted in its rack (or racks). In this case, the 36

rack (or racks) may be placed directly on the turntable. 37

If a repeater with an external antenna is being tested, then the RF output of 38

this repeater shall be terminated in a non-radiating load that is placed on 39

the turntable. A non-radiating load is used in lieu of an antenna to avoid 40

3GPP2 C.S0051-A v1.0

3-11

interference with other radio users. The RF cable to this load should be of 1

minimum length. The transmitter shall be tuned and adjusted to its rated 2

output value before starting the tests. 3

In order to conduct unintentional radiator tests as specified in Part 15, 4

subpart B of [7], the radiation site must comply with Sections 5.4.6 through 5

5.5 of [6] as required by Part 2.948 of [7]. 6

b. Search Antenna 7

For narrow-band dipole adjustable search antennas, the dipole length shall 8

be adjusted for each measurement frequency. This length may be 9

determined from a calibration ruler that is normally supplied with the 10

equipment. 11

The search antenna shall be mounted on a movable non-metallic horizontal 12

boom that can be raised or lowered on a wooden or other non-metallic pole. 13

The cable connected to the search antenna shall be at a right angle to the 14

antenna. The cable shall be dressed at least 3 meters, either through or 15

along the horizontal boom, in a direction away from the equipment being 16

measured. The search antenna cable may then be dropped from the end of 17

the horizontal boom to ground level for connection to the field-strength 18

measuring equipment. 19

The search antenna shall be capable of being rotated 90 degrees on the end 20

of the horizontal boom to allow measurement of both vertically and 21

horizontally polarized signals. When the antenna length of a vertically 22

mounted antenna does not permit the horizontal boom to be lowered to its 23

minimum specified search range, adjust the minimum height of the boom 24

for 0.3 meter clearance between the end of the antenna and the ground. 25

c. Field-Strength Measurement 26

A field-strength meter shall be connected to a search antenna. The field-27

strength meter shall have sufficient sensitivity and selectivity to measure 28

signals over the required frequency ranges at levels at least 10 dB below the 29

levels specified in any document, standard, or specification that references 30

this measurement procedure. The calibration of the measurement 31

instruments (field-strength meter, antennas, etc.) shall be checked 32

frequently to ensure that their accuracy is in accordance with the current 33

standards. Such calibration checks shall be performed at least once per 34

year. 35

d. Frequency Range of Measurements 36

When measuring radiated signals from repeaters with input CDMA signals, 37

the measurements shall be made from the lowest radio frequency (but no 38

lower than 25 MHz) generated in the equipment to the tenth harmonic of the 39

carrier, except for that region close to the carrier equal to ±250% of the 40

authorized bandwidth. 41

3GPP2 C.S0051-A v1.0

3-12

When measuring radiated signals from repeaters with input and output 1

ports terminated in 50 Ohms, the measurements shall be made from 25 2

MHz to at least 6 GHz. 3

5. Test Ranges 4

a. 30 Meter Test Range 5

Measurement of radiated signals shall be made at a point 30 meters from 6

the center of the turntable. The search antenna is to be raised and lowered 7

from 1 to 4 meters in both horizontally and vertically polarized orientations. 8

The field-strength measuring meter may be placed on a suitable table or 9

tripod at the foot of the mast. 10

b. 3-Meter Test Range 11

Measurement of radiated signals may be made at a point 3 meters from the 12

center of the turntable, provided the following three conditions can be met: 13

• A ground screen that covers an elliptical area at least 6 meters on the 14

major axis by 5.2 meters on the minor axis is used, with the 15

measuring antenna and turntable mounted 3 meters apart. The 16

measuring antenna and turntable shall lie on the major axis and 17

shall be equidistant from the minor axis of the elliptical area. 18

• The maximum dimension of the equipment shall be 3 meters or less. 19

When measuring radiated signals from receivers, the maximum 20

dimension shall include the antenna if it is an integral part of the 21

device. 22

• The field-strength measuring equipment is either mounted below the 23

ground level at the test site or is located a sufficient distance away 24

from the equipment being tested and from the search antenna to 25

prevent corruption of the measured data. 26

The search antenna is to be raised and lowered over a range from 1 to 4 27

meters in both horizontally and vertically polarized orientations. When the 28

search antenna is vertically oriented, the minimum height of the center of 29

the search antenna shall be defined by the length of the lower half of the 30

search antenna. 31

The 3-meter test range may be used for determining compliance with limits 32

specified at 30 meters (or other distances), provided that: 33

• The ground reflection variations between the two distances have been 34

calibrated for the frequencies of interest at the test range, or 35

• A 5 dB correction factor is added to the specified radiation limit(s) to 36

allow for average ground reflections. 37

Radiated field strength (volt/meter) varies inversely with distance, so that a 38

measurement made on the 3-meter test range divided by 10 gives the 39

equivalent value that would be measured on a 30-meter test range for the 40

3GPP2 C.S0051-A v1.0

3-13

same EIRP (effective isotropic radiated power). The 30-meter field strength in 1

volt/meter can be calculated from the EIRP by using the following formula: 2

µV/m @ 30 meters = 5773.5 × 10EIRP(dBm)/20 3

6. Radiated Signal Measurement Procedures 4

Radiated signals having significant levels shall be measured on the 30-meter or 3-5

meter test range by using the following procedure: 6

• For each observed radiated signal, raise and lower the search antenna to 7

obtain a maximum reading on the field-strength meter with the antenna 8

horizontally polarized. Then rotate the turntable to maximize the reading. 9

Repeat this procedure of raising and lowering the antenna and rotating the 10

turntable until the highest possible signal has been obtained. Record this 11

maximum reading. 12

• Repeat above step for each observed radiated signal with the antenna 13

vertically polarized. 14

• Remove the equipment being tested and replace it with a half-wave antenna. 15

The center of the half-wave antenna should be at the same approximate 16

location as the center of the equipment being tested. 17

• Feed the half-wave antenna replacing the equipment under test with a signal 18

generator connected to the antenna by means of a non-radiating cable. With 19

the antennas at both ends horizontally polarized and with the signal 20

generator tuned to the observed radiated signal, raise and lower the search 21

antenna to obtain a maximum reading on the field-strength measuring 22

meter. Adjust the level of the signal generator output until the previously 23

recorded maximum reading for this set of conditions is obtained. Record the 24

signal generator power output. 25

• Repeat above steps above with both antennas vertically polarized. 26

• Calculate the power into a reference ideal isotropic antenna by: 27

− First reducing the readings obtained above by the power loss in the cable 28

between the generator and the source antenna, and 29

− Then correcting for the gain of the source antenna used relative to an 30

ideal isotropic antenna. The reading thus obtained is the equivalent 31

effective isotropic radiated power (EIRP) level for the spurious signal 32

being measured. 33

• Repeat all above steps in 6 for all observed signals from the equipment being 34

tested. 35

• Repeat steps 1 through 6, except terminate both the input and output ports 36

with 50 Ohms. 37

Conducted emissions from all sources within the repeater are measured for compliance 3

with region specific regulations. 4

AC power line conducted emissions tests shall be performed on all equipment that directly 5

connects to the public utility power line. For equipment that receives power from a device 6

that is directly connected to the public utility power line (such as a DC power supply), the 7

conducted emissions tests shall be performed on the power supply device, with the 8

equipment under test connected, to insure that the supply continues to meet the current 9

emissions standards. AC power line conducted emissions tests are not required for 10

equipment that contains an internal power source or battery supply with no means for 11

connection to the public utility power line. 12


1. Configure the repeater to its minimum rated gain. If the repeater supports an 14

tested on a standard test site and connects directly to the public utility power line, 35

or receives power from a device that connects to the public utility power line. The 36

LISN shall be placed on top of or directly underneath the conductive ground plane 37

and shall be electrically grounded to it. Power line filters between the power source 38

and LISN may be used to reduce the ambient noise level on the public utility line. 39

c. Measurement Procedure 13

A radio noise meter employing a quasi-peak detector shall be used to test for 14

radio noise between each current carrying conductor and the ground 15

conductor. Each current carrying conductor shall be tested individually with 16

all unused connections on the LISN terminated in a 50Ω resistive load. The 17

ground (safety) conductor on the equipment under test shall be individually 18

connected to the power source through the LISN. Any adapters used 19

between the LISN power socket and the equipment under test shall be no 20

more than 20 cm long and shall contain only one input and only one output. 21

The equipment under test shall be tested in various modes of operation with 22

3.7 Repeater Delay 1

3.7.1 Definition 2

Repeater delay is the difference between the measured pilot time and the expected pilot 3

time caused by passing through the repeater, taking into account CDMA System Time and 4

pilot offset. This test is only applicable to the Forward link. 5



If the repeater includes a fiber optic link to the donor Base station, use 10 meters or 8

less of fiber optic cable. 9

2. Configure the repeater to its maximum gain setting and input a single CDMA signal 10

(see 6.2) at a level that will cause the maximum rated power output from the 11

repeater at the lowest supported CDMA channel in the passband under test. If the 12

repeater supports adjustable passband span or adjustable supported channels, see 13

5.2 for additional test requirements. 14

3. Measure the pilot time alignment error (delay) between the output of the CDMA 15

signal source and at the output of the Forward link of the repeater. 16

4. Repeat steps 2 and 3 for each supported carrier in the passband under test, 17

stepping the CDMA channel center frequency up by 1.23 or 1.25 MHz, depending 18

on the band class under test, but always testing the highest supported CDMA 19

channel even if the last step is less than 1.23 or 1.25 MHz. 20

5. Repeat steps 2 through 4 for each passband in the Forward link signal path. 21


1. The manufacturer shall declare the repeaters rated delay in μs. 23

2. The delay, as measured by the pilot time alignment error between the output of the 24

CDMA signal source and the output of the repeater shall be within ± 20% of the 25

manufacturers rated delay for every specified test. (In actual use, repeaters will 26

have additional delay based upon the distance between the donor Base station and 27

the repeater as well as the means by which the donor Base station is coupled to the 28

repeater (e.g., a fiber optic link). It will be necessary to evaluate the impact of the 29

additional delay on the network and possibly mitigate the effect of the delay by 30

advancing Base station timing or increasing the pilot search window size. 31

3. For repeaters that may simultaneously support more than one CDMA channel, the 32

difference in delay between the CDMA channel with the least delay and the CDMA 33

channel with the most delay, for every passband, shall be less than 2.0 μs. 34

Note: All frequencies in the measurement bandwidth shall satisfy the restrictions on |∆f| where ∆f = center frequency - closer measurement edge frequency (f). The emissions requirements shall apply for all values of ∆f regardless of whether the measurement frequency falls inside or outside of the band or block edge. The -9 dBm requirement is based on CFR 47 Part 24 –13 dBm/12.5 KHz specification. For multiple-carrier testing, ∆f is defined for positive ∆f as the center frequency of the highest carrier - closer measurement edge frequency (f) and for negative ∆f as the center frequency of the lowest carrier - closer measurement edge frequency (f).
