Global System for Mobile communications (GSM); GSM Repeaters; Harmonised Standard covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU

Scope

The present document applies to the following radio equipment types:
1) Repeaters for GSM.
This radio equipment type is capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands given in table 1-1.
Table 1-1: GSM Repeater frequency bands
GSM band Direction of
transmission
GSM Repeater relevant frequency bands
P-GSM 900 Downlink 935 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 890 MHz to 915 MHz
E-GSM 900 Downlink 925 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 880 MHz to 915 MHz
R-GSM 900 Downlink 921 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 876 MHz to 915 MHz
ER-GSM 900 Downlink 918 MHz to 960 MHz
Uplink 873 MHz to 915 MHz
DCS 1 800 Downlink 1 805 MHz to 1 880 MHz
Uplink 1 710 MHz to 1 785 MHz
GSM 450 Downlink 460,4 MHz to 467,6 MHz
Uplink 450,4 MHz to 457,6 MHz
GSM 480 Downlink 488,8 MHz to 496 MHz
Uplink 478,8 MHz to 486 MHz
NOTE 1: In some circumstances, for instance when an operator (or more than one operator who co-ordinate the use
of repeaters), is not allocated a complete band as defined in table 1-1, it may be necessary to restrict the
frequency range of operations of repeaters. In these circumstances, the test of "Gain outside pass band" in
annex C may be used to verify the performance of the repeater.
NOTE 2: A repeater is designed to operate in one or several pass bands within the MS and BTS relevant transmit
bands.
The present document covers requirements for GSM Repeaters for 3GPP Release 8, 9, 10, 11 and 12.
The present document contains requirements to demonstrate that radio equipment both effectively uses and supports the
efficient use of radio spectrum in order to avoid harmful interference.
