scope:

The present document applies to cdma450 repeaters using CDMA 1x spread spectrum technology, i.e. equipment operating in band class 5 or band class 11 as defined in ANSI/TIA-97-E [4] capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands defined in footnote EU34 from the European Common Allocation table, ERC report 25.

EU34 states "Parts of the bands 450 MHz to 457,5 MHz / 460 MHz to 467,5 MHz may also be used for existing and evolving public cellular networks on a National basis".

The present document also applies to CDMA-PAMR repeaters in accordance with ECC report 25 [11] and ECC decision, ECC DEC(04)06 [12] covering:

Band class 11: Operating within the bands 410 MHz to 430 MHz and 450 MHz to 470 MHz with 10 MHz duplex spacing between the transmit frequencies of mobile stations (410 MHz to 420 MHz and 450 MHz to 460 MHz) and the transmit frequencies of base stations (420 MHz to 430 MHz and 460 MHz to 470 MHz).

Band class 12: Operating within the band 870 MHz to 876 MHz paired with 915 MHz to 921 MHz with 45 MHz duplex spacing between the transmit frequencies of mobile stations (870 MHz to 876 MHz) and the transmit frequencies of base stations (915 MHz to 921 MHz).

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of the R&TTE Directive[1] article 3.2, which states that "[...] radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference".

In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.
