As recommended in 3GPP TS 25.104, is measured in the entire operating band at the antenna
connector on the condition that the channel rate is 12.2 kbit/s and the BER is not higher than 0.001.

*: The receiver sensitivity (at the centre frequency) is measured at the antenna connector provided
that the AMR service at 12.2 kbit/s is used and the BER is within 0.001.

2.4 Output Power

Maximum output power = Maximum output power of the PA - Internal losses. The maximum output
power is measured at the antenna connector of the RF module.

One 80 W WRFU supports four carriers and differentiated power configured for each carrier.
Its output power at the antenna connector reaches 80 W. Table 2-4 shows 80 W WRFU output
power. Table 2-5 shows 80 W WRFU (Optimized) output power.

The 40 W WRFU supports only the 2100 MHz band class.

2.5 Power Consumption

The typical power consumption is measured with the equipment 40% loaded at a temperature of
25C.

The maximum power consumption is measured with the equipment 100% loaded at a temperature of
25C.

In the 3x1 or 3x2 configuration, one WBBPb4 and one WMPT are configured.

In the 3x3 or 3x4 configuration, two WBBPb4 units and one WMPT are configured.
