ITU-T K.94 (05/2012) FOREWORD The International Telecommunication Union (ITU) is the United Nations specialized agency in the field of telecommunications, information and communication technologies (ICTs). The ITU Telecommunication Standardization
6、 Sector (ITU-T) is a permanent organ of ITU. ITU-T is responsible for studying technical, operating and tariff questions and issuing Recommendations on them with a view to standardizing telecommunications on a worldwide basis. The World Telecommunication Standardization Assembly (WTSA), which meets
7、every four years, establishes the topics for study by the ITU-T study groups which, in turn, produce Recommendations on these topics. The approval of ITU-T Recommendations is covered by the procedure laid down in WTSA Resolution 1. In some areas of information technology which fall within ITU-Ts pur
8、view, the necessary standards are prepared on a collaborative basis with ISO and IEC. NOTE In this Recommendation, the expression “Administration“ is used for conciseness to indicate both a telecommunication administration and a recognized operating agency. Compliance with this Recommendation is vol
9、untary. However, the Recommendation may contain certain mandatory provisions (to ensure, e.g., interoperability or applicability) and compliance with the Recommendation is achieved when all of these mandatory provisions are met. The words “shall“ or some other obligatory language such as “must“ and
10、the negative equivalents are used to express requirements. The use of such words does not suggest that compliance with the Recommendation is required of any party.

ITU-T K.94 (05/2012) Introduction With the rapid progress of the telecommunication terminal technology, more and more converged devices are appearing o
17、n the market. Converged devices usually contain two or more modules which can transmit at the same time, for example: GSM/Wireless LAN dual mode terminal, WCDMA/Wireless LAN dual mode terminal, CDMA/Wireless LAN dual mode terminal, GSM/CDMA dual mode terminal. As the two modules are physically close
18、 to each other, if the PCB is not designed properly, without adequate earthing, shielding or filtering, an EMC disturbance could occur between the modules. In order to limit the EMC disturbance between these modules, this Recommendation defines a test method that can be used as one of the EMC immuni
19、ty test items on a converged device. Rec. ITU-T K.94 (05/2012) 1 Recommendation ITU-T K.94 Mutual disturbance test method for evaluating performance degradation of converged terminal devices 1 Scope This Recommendation analyses the electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) disturbance between different mo
20、dules in converged terminal devices and defines a conducted test method. As more and more converged devices appear on the market, this Recommendation will help the industry to analyse and reduce such disturbance. Furthermore, this mutual-disturbance test can be used as one of the immunity test items
21、 listed in ITU-T K.34 and ITU-T K.48 to determine the level of performance degradation. This Recommendation only covers the EMC mutual-disturbance between the different modules in converged devices. Examples of such devices include: GSM/Wireless LAN converged devices, WCDMA/Wireless LAN converged de
22、vices, CDMA/Wireless LAN converged devices and GSM/CDMA converged devices. 2 References The following ITU-T Recommendations and other references contain provisions which, through reference in this text, constitute provisions of this Recommendation.

31、 shielded chamber as defined in clause 5.2. 5.2 Generic test set-up An outline of the test set-up is shown in Figure 1. The converged device is put into a shielded chamber, while all the test equipment is outside of the chamber. To measure the conducted disturbance, the converged device modules shou
32、ld be modified to have a connection to a base station emulator via RF cables entering the shielded chamber. There will be two or more base station emulators depending on how many modules the converged device has. Rec. ITU-T K.94 (05/2012) 3 K.94(12)F_01Base station emulator Shielded chamberBase stat

34、le A. The disturbance from module A to module B can be determined using the same procedure. 1) To perform this test, the converged device should be modified to include a test port connection for both module A and module B. 2) Put the converged device in the shielded chamber to minimize external dist
35、urbances. Only the converged device should be put in the shielded chamber; all the testing equipment should be put outside. 3) Connect module A with its network emulator using an RF cable. Before the test, the cable loss between the converged device and its network emulator should be measured and la
36、ter used to compensate the test result. 4) Measure the conducted sensitivity of all the channels of module A according to the method of different product standards or Annex A of this Recommendation. During the test, module B should be set to the standby mode if module A has too many channels. It is
37、acceptable if the separation between the two test channels is lower than 500 kHz. 5) Record the conducted sensitivity of each channel, as SENori-x, where x represents the channel number. 6) Connect module B with its network emulator at the lowest channel; the test settings should conform to the meth
38、od of different product standards or Annex A of this Recommendation. During the following test, module B should maintain the maximum power output condition. 7) Measure the conducted sensitivity of module A as specified in step 4) again. Record the conducted sensitivity of each channel as SENdis-x. 8
39、) The performance degradation of module A at channel x can be expressed as SENdeg-x= SENdis-x SENori-x. 9) Connect module B with its network emulator at the middle channel and high channel separately. Perform steps 6) to 8) again and determine the disturbance from module B at the middle channel and
40、high channel. 10) Record all the performance degradation results. 7 Test procedure for typical converged devices Test procedures for some typical converged devices are given in this clause. For those converged devices not listed here, the generic method in clause 6 applies. 4 Rec. ITU-T K.94 (05/201

42、ireless LAN module: 1) To perform this test, the GSM/wireless LAN converged device should be modified to include the test port connection for both module A and module B. 2) Put the converged device in the shielded chamber to minimize external disturbances. Only the converged device should be put in
43、the shielded chamber; all the testing equipment should be put outside. 3) Connect module A with its network emulator using an RF cable. Before the test, the cable loss between the converged device and its network emulator should be measured and later used to compensate the test result. 4) Measure th
44、e conducted sensitivity of all the channels of module A according to ETSI TS 134 114. Measure the Class II residual BER (RBER) on module A. The number of frames observed shall be consistent with a 95% confidence level, but may be limited to 135 frames maximum. The measured RBER must not exceed 2.44%
45、 during the sensitivity search. During the test, module B should be set to the standby mode. If module A has too many channels, it is acceptable if the separation between the two test channels is lower than 500 kHz. 5) Record the conducted sensitivity of each channel as SENori-x, where x represents
46、the channel number. 6) Connect module B with its network emulator at the lowest channel; the test settings should conform to Annex A of this Recommendation. During the following test, module B should maintain the maximum power output condition. 7) Measure the conducted sensitivity of module A as spe
47、cified in step 4) again. Record the conducted sensitivity of each channel as SENdis-x. 8) The performance degradation of module A at channel x can be expressed as SENdeg-x= SENdis-x SENori-x. 9) Connect module B with its network emulator at the middle channel and high channel separately. Perform ste
48、ps 6) to 8) again and determine the disturbance from module B at the middle channel and high channel. 10) Record all the performance degradation results. 7.1.3 Wireless LAN performance degradation test procedure The following procedures are used to evaluate the wireless LAN performance degradation i
49、n presence with the GSM module: 1) To perform this test, the converged device should be modified to include the test port connection for both module A and module B. 2) Put the converged device in the shielded chamber to minimize external disturbances.
