operating on the same band cannot exceed the instantaneous bandwidth (IBW).

● The carrier bandwidths supported by carriers with different power may be different. For
details about the output power of carriers and supported carrier bandwidth, see the
Typical Power Configurations for AAUs document. Each Output Power per Carrier
value in the Typical Power Configurations for AAUs document indicates the maximum
output power of each carrier under the corresponding configuration while ensuring the
network performance. The actual configured carrier power of RF modules can be less
than or equal to the value of Output Power per Carrier in the document. The power

General Rules
● The total output power of all carriers on a single channel cannot exceed the
maximum output power of a single channel.
● The output power is 1 dB less than the standard power when a module is
located at an altitude of 3500 m (11482.80 ft) to 4500 m (14763.60 ft) and is
2 dB less than the standard power when a module is located at an altitude of
4500 m (14763.60 ft) to 6000 m (19684.80 ft).
NOTICE
If RF modules working in multiple frequency bands are used, pay attention to the
following: If a single channel is configured with multiple cells in different
frequency bands and the carrier output power of each cell in a frequency band is
less than the minimum configurable output power of the cell, the performance of
the cell in the frequency band cannot be ensured, and the performance of the
cells that work in other frequency bands and share the same channel as the cell is
also significantly affected. Therefore, such configuration needs to be avoided. (To
ensure cell performance, the minimum configurable output power of a cell varies
depending on the RAT. For details, see the output power configuration rules of
each RAT.)
For example, a single channel of an RF module is configured with one NR cell in
the 1800 MHz frequency band and one LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band.
The carrier output power of the NR cell in the 1800 MHz frequency band is 1 mW,
which is less than the minimum configurable output power per channel for the NR
cell of the module. In this case, the performance of the NR cell cannot be ensured.
In addition, the performance of the LTE cell in the 2100 MHz frequency band on
the same channel deteriorates significantly even if its output power meets the
requirements.
