Annex L
(informative)

FDD LTE measurements
L.1 General
Annex L describes methods to measure and extrapolate LTE (MIMO 2x2 and MIMO 2x1)
exposure level (FDD LTE [1]). This annex is not an exhaustive summary of existing methods,
and other measurement methods for LTE have been published [2]. The proposed methods
require classical radiofrequency (RF) measurement instruments: a basic spectrum analyser
or a dedicated decoder and an isotropic antenna.
LTE emissions consist of specific signals at specific time-frequency allocations [3] [4]. This
kind of dynamic time-frequency allocation is known as Orthogonal Frequency Division
Multiple Access (OFDMA). See Figure L.1.

Figure L.1 - LTE time-frequency plan
As for other telecommunication signals, LTE signals are subject to time variations because of
traffic variations and random fluctuations of the propagation medium. The extrapolation to the
maximum traffic should be based on the measurement of a time independent channel or
signal. Due to the LTE specifications, the power of each time-frequency unitary element [1]
(66,7 µs, 15 kHz) in the LTE downlink signal is scalable from one kind of transmitted data to
another. In addition, LTE downlink spectrum is totally flexible and may vary from 1,4 MHz to
20 MHz, and inside the spectrum, the power level may vary from one channel to another.
