Overview
SIST EN 301 908-6 V2.2.1:2004 is a harmonized European standard focusing on electromagnetic compatibility and radio spectrum matters (ERM) for user equipment (UE) operating within IMT-2000 third-generation (3G) cellular networks. Specifically, this standard sets the essential requirements for CDMA TDD (UTRA TDD) user equipment, aligning with Article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (1999/5/EC), which mandates that radio equipment must use the radio spectrum efficiently to avoid harmful interference. Developed by SIST (Slovenian Institute for Standardization), this standard is crucial for manufacturers, network operators, and regulators involved in the deployment and conformity assessment of 3G mobile systems.
Key Topics
Scope and Applicability
- Applies explicitly to user equipment for IMT-2000 CDMA TDD (UTRA TDD) in 3G networks.
- Addresses both 3.84 Mcps and 1.28 Mcps TDD options, covering key requirements from Releases 99, 4, and 5.
- Encompasses operations in designated IMT-2000 frequency bands (1 900–1 920 MHz and 2 010–2 025 MHz).
Essential Technical Requirements
- Spectrum Emission Mask: Specifies limits and test procedures to control out-of-band emissions, reducing risk of interference with other users.
- Spurious Emissions and Unwanted Emissions: Defines thresholds for both transmitter and receiver spurious emissions to mitigate spectrum pollution.
- Output Power and Minimum Power: Sets boundaries on maximum and minimum transmit power to support network coverage and efficiency.
- Receiver Performance: Covers blocking characteristics, intermodulation response, spurious response, and adjacent channel selectivity to ensure robust operation in diverse radio environments.
- Testing Procedures: Provides guidance for conformance testing under various environmental and operating conditions, critical for equipment certification.
Regulatory Alignment
- Harmonized to support compliance with the R&TTE Directive Article 3.2, ensuring that user equipment does not cause harmful interference.
- Modular structure for compatibility with related standards on EMC (Electromagnetic Compatibility) and safety.
Applications
3G Mobile Device Manufacturers
- Ensures products comply with European requirements for spectrum efficiency and electromagnetic compatibility.
- Facilitates access to the EU market and interoperability in multi-vendor environments.
Network Operators
- Provides a baseline for accepting user equipment into IMT-2000 (UMTS) TDD networks.
- Helps maintain network performance and reduce interference from non-compliant devices.
Conformity Assessment and Certification Bodies
- Supports standardized testing and certification processes for radio equipment.
- Acts as a reference for market surveillance and regulatory compliance enforcement.
Regulators and Spectrum Managers
- Assists in maintaining spectrum integrity by requiring devices to adhere to defined emission limits.
- Supports efficient spectrum allocation, especially in shared and densely populated frequency bands.

The left hand edge of the figure 1 shows the pertinent clauses of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1].
For article 3.3 various horizontal boxes are shown. Dotted lines indicate that at the time of publication of the present
document essential requirements in these areas have to be adopted by the Commission. If such essential requirements
are adopted, and as far and as long as they are applicable, they will justify individual standards whose scope is likely to
be specified by function or interface type.
The vertical boxes show the standards under article 3.2 for the use of the radio spectrum by radio equipment. The
scopes of these standards are specified either by frequency (normally in the case where frequency bands are
harmonized) or by radio equipment type.
For article 3.1b figure 1 shows EN 301 489 [9], the multi-part product EMC standard for radio used under the EMC
Directive [2].
For article 3.1a figure 1 shows the existing safety standards currently used under the LV Directive [3] and new
standards covering human exposure to electromagnetic fields. New standards covering acoustic safety may also be
required.
The bottom of figure 1 shows the relationship of the standards to radio equipment and telecommunications terminal
equipment. A Particular equipment may be radio equipment, telecommunications terminal equipment or both. A radio
spectrum standard will apply if it is radio equipment. An article 3.3 standard will apply as well only if the relevant
essential requirement under the R&TTE Directive [1] is adopted by the Commission and if the equipment in question is
covered by the scope of the corresponding standard. Thus, depending on the nature of the equipment, the essential
requirements under the R&TTE Directive [1] may be covered in a set of standards.
The modularity principle has been taken because:
• it minimizes the number of standards needed. Because equipment may, in fact, have multiple interfaces and
functions it is not practicable to produce a single standard for each possible combination of functions that may
occur in equipment;
• it provides scope for standards to be added:
- under article 3.2 when new frequency bands are agreed; or
- under article 3.3 should the Commission take the necessary decisions without requiring alteration of
standards that are already published;
• it clarifies, simplifies and promotes the usage of Harmonized Standards as the relevant means of conformity
assessment.
The product specifications upon which this multi-part deliverable is based, differ in presentation, and this is reflected in
the present document.

1 Scope
The present document applies to the following radio equipment type:
• User equipment for IMT-2000 CDMA TDD (UTRA TDD).
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: IMT-2000 CDMA TDD service frequency bands
Direction of transmission IMT-2000 CDMA TDD service frequency bands
Transmit and Receive 1 900 MHz to 1 920 MHz
Transmit and Receive 2 010 MHz to 2 025 MHz
IMT-2000 CDMA TDD (UTRA TDD) supports two options of the TDD mode with the chip rates of 3,84 Mcps and
1,28 Mcps. These two options are called the 3,84 Mcps TDD option and the 1,28 Mcps TDD option respectively. The
requirements are listed in different subsections only if the parameters deviate. The present document covers
requirements for 3,84 Mcps TDD option user equipment for Release 99, 4 and 5 and for 1,28 Mcps TDD option user
equipment for Release 4 and 5.
The present document covers the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive) article 3.2, which states
that "[…] radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio
communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".
In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements
under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present
document.

3 Definitions, symbols and abbreviations
3.1 Definitions
For the purposes of the present document, the terms and definitions given in the R&TTE Directive [1], and the
following apply:
environmental profile: range of environmental conditions under which the equipment within the scope of
EN 301 908-6 is required to comply with the provisions of EN 301 908-6
maximum output power: measure of the maximum power supported by the UE (i.e. the actual power as would be
measure assuming no measurement error) in a bandwidth of at least (1 + α) times the chip rate of the radio access mode
NOTE: The period of measurement shall be a transmit timeslot excluding the guard period unless otherwise
stated.
mean power: when applied to a CDMA modulated signal this is the power (transmitted or received) in a bandwidth of
at least (1 + α) times the chip rate of the radio access mode.
NOTE: The period of measurement shall be a transmit timeslot excluding the guard period unless otherwise
stated.
nominal maximum output power: nominal power defined by the UE power class
RRC filtered mean power: mean power as measured through a root raised cosine filter with roll-off factor α and a
bandwidth equal to the chip rate of the radio access mode
