NR; Repeaters ElectroMagnetic Compatibility (EMC)
The present document covers the assessment of NR repeater, network-controlled repeater and ancillary equipment in respect of Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC). For network-controlled repeater (NCR), requirements for NCR-Fwd and NCR-MT apply.
The present document specifies the applicable requirements, procedures, test conditions, performance assessment and performance criteria for NR repeater, NCR and associated ancillary equipment in the following categories:
- NR repeater equipped with antenna connectors which are possible to be terminated during EMC testing, meeting the repeater type 1-C RF requirements of TS 38.106 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 38.115-1 [3].
- NR repeater not equipped with antenna connectors, i.e. with antenna elements radiating during the EMC testing, meeting the repeater type 2-O RF requirements of TS 38.106 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS 38.115-2 [4].
- NCR equipped with antenna connectors or TAB connectors which are possible to terminated during EMC testing, meeting the NCR-Fwd/MT type 1-C and type 1-H RF requirements of TS 38.106 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS38.115-1[3].
- NCR not equipped with antenna connectors, i.e. with antenna elements radiating during the EMC testing, meeting the NCR-Fwd/MT type 2-O RF requirements of TS 38.106 [2], with conformance demonstrated by compliance to TS38.115-2[4].
The environment classification used in the present document refers to the residential, commercial and light industrial environment classification used in IEC 61000‑6-1 [6], IEC 61000-6-3 [7] and IEC 61000-6-8 [24].
The EMC requirements have been selected to ensure an adequate level of compatibility for apparatus at residential, commercial and light industrial environments. The levels, however, do not cover extreme cases which may occur in any location but with low probability of occurrence.
