36 Conditions – unwanted emissions
Remote mobile stations (1) A person must not operate a remote mobile station if the unwanted emissions of the station exceed the limits specified in section 6.5.2.2 of Technical Specification 38.101-1, NR; User Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception; Part 2: Range 2 Standalone, published by 3GPP.
Note: Technical Specification 38.101-1 is available, free of charge, from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project website at www.3gpp.org.
Other stations (2) A person must not operate a radiocommunications transmitter, other than a remote mobile station, if the unwanted emissions of the transmitter either: (a) exceed the limits specified in section 6.5.2.2 of Technical Specification 38.101-1, NR; User Equipment (UE) radio transmission and reception; Part 2: Range 2 Standalone, published by 3GPP; or (b) exceed the limits in subclauses (3) to (7).
Note: Technical Specification 38.101-1 is available, free of charge, from the 3rd Generation Partnership Project website at www.3gpp.org.
Unwanted emissions limits in 3260 MHz to 4240 MHz – non-AAS transmitters (3) For a radiocommunications transmitter without AAS, the unwanted emission limits in Table 3, measured over the specified bandwidth, apply at frequencies: (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits set out in the licence that authorises the operation of the transmitter; and (b) offset from the upper and lower frequency limits set out in that licence; and (c) in the 3260 MHz to 4240 MHz frequency band; where foffset means the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limit set out in the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence is placed at foffset. Table 3
| Item | Column 1 | Column 2 | Column 3 |
|---|---|---|---|
| frequency offset (foffset) | Mean power (dBm) per radiocommunications transmitter | Specified bandwidth | |
| 1 | 0 MHz ≤ foffset < 5 MHz | –22 – (7/5) foffset (MHz) | 100 kHz |
| 2 | foffset ≥ 5 MHz | –29 | 100 kHz |
Unwanted emissions limits in 3260 MHz to 4240 MHz – AAS transmitters (4) For a radiocommunications transmitter with AAS, the unwanted emission limits in Table 4, measured over the specified bandwidth, apply at frequencies: (a) outside the upper or lower frequency limits set out in the licence that authorises the operation of the transmitter; and (b) offset from the upper and lower frequency limits set out in that licence; and (c) in the 3260 MHz to 4240 MHz frequency band; where foffset means the frequency offset from the upper or lower frequency limit set out in the licence. The closest -3dB point of the specified bandwidth closest to the upper and lower frequency limits set out in the licence is placed at foffset. Table 4
