BEM element |
Definition |
In-block |
Assigned spectrum block for which the BEM is derived. |
Baseline |
Spectrum within either the 900 MHz or 1 800 MHz frequency band used for terrestrial systems capable of providing electronic communications services, not including the operator’s block under consideration and corresponding transitional regions. |
Transitional region |
Spectrum adjacent to an operator’s block. |
Additional baseline |
Spectrum within bands adjacent to either the 900 MHz or the 1 800 MHz frequency band, where specific power limits apply for the protection of other services. |
BEM element |
Non-AAS EIRP limit |
AAS TRP limit (only for the 1 800 MHz frequency band) |
In-block |
Not obligatory. If an upper limit is set by a Member State, a value between 63 dBm/(5 MHz) and 67 dBm/(5 MHz) per antenna may be applied for a broadband system, and a value between 60 dBm/(200 kHz) and 69 dBm/(200 kHz) per antenna may be applied for a narrowband system. |
Not obligatory. If an upper limit is set by a Member State, a value of 58 dBm/(5 MHz) per cell (*1) may be applied. |
