Section: 6.6.3.1A Minimum requirements for CA
Content: This clause specifies the spurious emission requirements for carrier aggregation. NOTE: For measurement conditions at the edge of each frequency range, the lowest frequency of the measurement position in each frequency range should be set at the lowest boundary of the frequency range plus MBW/2. The highest frequency of the measurement position in each frequency range should be set at the highest boundary of the frequency range minus MBW/2. MBW denotes the measurement bandwidth defined for the protected band. For inter-band carrier aggregation with one component carrier per operating band and the uplink active in two E-UTRA bands, the spurious emission requirement Table 6.6.3.1-2 apply for the frequency ranges that are more than FOOB as defined in Table 6.6.3.1-1 away from edges of the assigned channel bandwidth on a component carrier. If for some frequency a spurious emission requirement of individual component carrier overlaps with the spectrum emission mask or channel bandwidth of another component carrier then it does not apply. NOTE: For inter-band carrier aggregation with uplink assigned to two E-UTRA bands the requirements in Table 6.6.3.1-2 could be verified by measuring spurious emissions at the specific frequencies where second and third order intermodulation products generated by the two transmitted carriers can occur; in that case, the requirements for remaining applicable frequencies in Table 6.6.3.1-2 would be considered to be verified by the measurements verifying the one uplink inter-band CA spurious emission requirement. For intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation the spurious emission limits apply for the frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) in Table 6.6.3.1A-1 from the edge of the aggregated channel bandwidth (Table 5.6A-1). For frequencies ΔfOOB greater than FOOB as specified in Table 6.6.3.1A-1the spurious emission requirements in Table 6.6.3.1-2 are applicable. Table 6.6.3.1A-1: Boundary between E-UTRA out of band and spurious emission domain for intra-band contiguous carrier aggregation For intra-band non-contiguous carrier aggregation transmission the spurious emission requirement is defined as a composite spurious emission requirement. Composite spurious emission requirement applies to frequency ranges that are more than FOOB away from the edges of the sub-blocks. Composite spurious emission requirement is defined as follows a) Composite spurious emission requirement is a combination of individual sub-block spurious emission requirements b) In case the sub-block consist of one component carrier the sub-lock spurious emission requirement and FOOB are defined in subclause 6.6.3.1 c) If for some frequency an individual sub-block spurious emission requirement overlaps with the general spectrum emission mask or the sub-block bandwidth of another sub-block then it does not apply For combinations of intra-band and inter-band carrier aggregation with three uplink component carriers (up to two contiguously aggregated carriers per band), the spurious emission requirememnt is defined as follows. For the E-UTRA band supporting one component carrier the requirements in Table 6.6.3.1-2 apply for frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) from the edges of assigned channel bandwidth as defined in Table 6.6.3.1-1. For the E-UTRA band supporting two contiguous component carriers the requirements in Table 6.6.3.1-2 apply for frequency ranges that are more than FOOB (MHz) from the edges of assigned aggregated channel bandwidth as defined in Table 6.6.3.1A-1. If for some frequency a spurious emission requirement of a single component carrier or two contiguous component carriers overlap with the spurious emission requirement or channel bandwidth of another component carrier or two contiguously aggregated carriers then it does not apply.
