• Smart antenna system with 2 or more transmit/receive chains, but operating in a mode where only 1
transmit/receive chain is used.
5.1.3.2.2 Operating mode 2 (multiple antennas, no beamforming)
The equipment that can operate in this mode contains a smart antenna system using two or more transmit/receive chains
simultaneously but without beamforming.
5.1.3.2.3 Operating mode 3 (multiple antennas, with beamforming)
The equipment that can operate in this mode contains a smart antenna system using two or more transmit/receive chains
simultaneously with beamforming.
In addition to the antenna assembly gain (G), the beamforming gain (Y) may have to be taken into account when
performing the measurements described in the present document.
5.1.3.3 Output power setting
Unless otherwise stated, where multiple combinations of radio equipment and antennas are intended, the configuration
to be used for testing shall be chosen as follows:
• for each combination, determine the highest user selectable power level and the antenna assembly with the
highest gain;
• from the resulting combinations, choose the one with the highest e.i.r.p.
5.1.4 Adaptive and Non-adaptive equipment
Equipment which can operate in both a non-adaptive and an adaptive mode (see clause 4.2.2) shall be tested in both
modes. Equipment which can operate in more than one adaptive mode, shall be tested in each of these adaptive modes.
5.1.5 Presentation of equipment
5.1.5.1 Testing of stand-alone equipment
Stand-alone equipment shall be tested against the requirements of the present document.
5.1.5.2 Testing of host connected equipment and plug-in radio equipment
For combined equipment and for radio parts for which connection to or integration with host equipment is required to
offer functionality to the radio, different alternative test approaches are permitted. Where more than one such
combination is intended, testing shall not be repeated for combinations of the radio part and various host equipment
where the latter are substantially similar.
Where more than one such combination is intended and the combinations are not substantially similar, one combination
shall be tested against all requirements of the present document and all other combinations shall be tested separately for
radiated spurious emissions only.
5.1.5.2.1 The use of a host or test jig for testing Plug-In radio equipment
Where the radio part is a plug-in radio equipment which is intended to be used within a variety of combinations, a
suitable test configuration consisting of either a test jig or a typical host equipment shall be used. This shall be
representative for the range of combinations in which the equipment may be used. The test jig shall allow the radio
equipment part to be powered and stimulated as if connected to or inserted into host or combined equipment.
Measurements shall be made to all requirements of the present document.
