The present document specifies the Radio Frequency (RF) test methods and Minimum Requirements for UTRA FDD Repeaters. These have been derived from, and are consistent with the UTRA FDD Repeater specifications defined in TS 25.106.
This document establishes the minimum RF characteristics of the UTRA FDD Repeater.
The following documents contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of the present document.
References are either specific (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.) or non specific.
For a specific reference, subsequent revisions do not apply.
For a non-specific reference, the latest version applies. In the case of a reference to a 3GPP document (including a GSM document), a non-specific reference implicitly refers to the latest version of that document in the same Release as the present document.
IEC 60721-3-3 (1994): "Classification of environmental conditions - Part 3: Classification of groups of environmental parameters and their severities - Section 3: Stationary use at weather protected locations".

CEPT ECC Decision (13)03, "The harmonised use of the frequency band 1452-1492 MHz for Mobile/Fixed Communications Networks Supplemental Downlink (MFCN SDL)".
For the purposes of the present document, the following terms and definitions apply:
Donor coupling loss:
is the coupling loss between the repeater and the donor base station.
Down-link:
signal path where base station transmits and mobile receives
Maximum output power, Pmax:
This is the mean power level per carrier measured at the antenna connector of the Repeater in specified reference condition.
Operating band:
the frequency range in which UTRA FDD operates, that is defined with a specific set of technical requirements.
Pass band:
the pass band is the frequency range in which the Repeater operates in with operational configuration. This frequency range can correspond to one or several consecutive nominal 5 MHz channels. If they are not consecutive each subset of channels shall be considered as an individual pass band. A repeater can have one or several pass bands.
Repeater:
a device that receives, amplifies and transmits the radiated or conducted RF carrier both in the down-link direction (from the base station to the mobile area) and in the up-link direction (from the mobile to the base station). In operating bands specified with only down-link or up-link, only the up-link or down-link as specified for the operating band is repeated.
Up-link:
signal path where mobile transmits and base station receives.
