Question: For handheld User Equipment (UE) in a standalone NR FR1 operation, how should the averaging of Total Radiated Power (TRP) results be performed for measurements taken beside the head using a phantom head?
Option 1: Averaging shall be done in logarithmic scale for both right and left side TRP results.
Option 2: Averaging shall be done in linear scale for both right and left side TRP results.
Option 3: Only the higher TRP result between the right and left side measurements is considered, without averaging.
Option 4: The lower TRP result between the right and left side measurements is used as the reference value.
Explanation: To accurately assess the overall radiated power of a handheld UE in a realistic usage scenario (beside the head), the standard requires combining (averaging) the measurements from both sides of the phantom head. A linear scale averaging is specified to maintain the accuracy of power measurements, as it directly relates to the physical quantity being measured (power). This approach ensures a more precise representation of the UE's TRP in practical scenarios.
