1. Scope

1.1 This document and the TIA/EIA IS-95 Compatibility Standard referenced to in section 3.10 set out the minimum standards for transmitters and receivers for the dual-mode (analogue and CDMA) cellular telephone system in the 824-849 MHz and 869-894 MHz paired bands.

A technical acceptance certificate (TAC) is required, pursuant to subsection 4(2) of the Radiocommunication Act and the Radiocommunication Regulations. Before certification is granted, the applicant shall show that the applicable standards have been complied with.

1.2 The equipment is subject to licensing pursuant to subsection 4(1) of the Radiocommunication Act.

2. General

2.1 Quality Control

Periodic testing shall be carried out by the manufacturer or importer to ensure continuing compliance with the standard. Non-compliance problems shall be corrected by the manufacturer or importer. The Department of Industry (also known as Industry Canada) will conduct audit checks from time to time to ensure compliance.

2.2 Inquiries about This Standard

Inquiries about this Standard may be directed to Industry Canada's local office or to:

Manager, Radio Equipment Standards
Industry Canada
300 Slater Street
Ottawa, Ontario
Canada, K1A 0C8
Tel: (613) 990-4699 / Fax: (613) 990-3158
E-mail: Lum.kwai@ic.gc.ca

However, inquiries concerning equipment certification matters should be directed to Chief, Certification and Engineering Bureau (see address in section 14).

3. Related Documents

The following are related documents. Radio Standards Procedure 100 (RSP-100) and Telecommunications Regulation Circular 49 (TRC-49) provide guidance and the fee schedule when applying for equipment certification. The Standard Radio System Plan 503 (SRSP-503), provides information on channelling plans, permissible effective radiated powers (ERPs) and antenna heights relevant to the equipment governed by this Radio Standards Specification (RSS).

If the radio device (e.g., the base station of a radio link - see example in section 5.15 is intended for connection to a public switched telecommunication network (PSTN), the device shall also comply with the standard CS-03 and be certified under the Terminal Attachment Program procedure CP-01 as well as under the radio equipment certification procedure RSP-100. However, regular cellular base station equipment, even though they interconnect with the PSTN, are exempt from CP-01 certification.

4.2 Test Instruments for Analogue Mode Tests

4.2.1 Test Receiver

If required for any tests, the test receiver shall consist of a configuration of test equipment complying with the following minimal requirements.

1. It shall be tunable over the applicable range of radio frequencies.
2. It shall be capable of measuring positive and negative peak values of carrier frequency deviations up to ±15 kHz with an accuracy of 5% or better.
3. It shall incorporate a switchable 6 dB/octave de-emphasis network whose audio response characteristic for a constant signal deviation does not vary by more than ±1 dB from a 750 microsecond de-emphasis characteristic over the frequency range 50 to 6000 Hertz.
4. It shall incorporate a switchable 2:1 expander (2 dB output change for every 1 dB change in input)
5. The nominal 3 dB audio band pass shall be from 50 Hertz to 20 kHz and the variation in the response shall not exceed ±0.5 dB within the range 300 to 3000 Hertz with the expander switched off.
6. Distortion due to signal processing shall not exceed 1 %.
7. Inherent hum and noise input shall be at least 50 dB below the level of a signal with standard test modulation.
8. It shall be properly terminated during all tests and a switchable "C" message weighted filter shall be incorporated.
9. It shall be capable of processing wideband data transmitted at a 10 kilobits/sec rate.

4.2.2 Spectrum Analyser

1. It shall have a dynamic range of at least 70 dB.
2. It shall be capable of measuring relative levels of input signal components with an accuracy of ±1 dB or better.
