TIA-98

Description / Abstract: This Standard details definitions, methods of measurement, and minimum performancecharacteristics for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) mobile stations. This Standardshares the purpose of [4] (and subsequent revision thereof) by ensuring that a mobilestation can obtain service in any cellular system that meets the compatibility requirementsof [4].

Compatibility, as used in connection with this Standard and [4], is understood to meanthat any mobile station is able to place and receive calls in any CDMA system. Conversely,all CDMA systems are able to place and receive calls with any CDMA mobile stationsupporting operation in the same band.

Test methods are recommended in this document; however, methods other than thoserecommended may suffice for the same purpose.

The performance metrics in this Standard require a mobile station to provide a singleantenna connector for testing. Mobile stations having multiple antenna, such as for receivediversity, shall provide a single antenna connector for testing. If a mobile station has morethan one antenna connector, only one connector shall be used for testing. Additionalrequirements specifically for multiple antenna configurations, i.e. receive diversity, are forfuture study.
