5.2 Rx Characteristics
5.2.1 Sensitivity
GSM 900 Full rate speech
The reference sensitivity performance in terms of frame erasure, bit error, or residual bit error rates (whichever is
appropriate) is specified in the following table, according to the propagation conditions.
The reference sensitivity level is <-102dBm.

1.6. The value of a can be different for each channel condition but must remain the same for FER and
class Ib RBER measurements for the same channel condition.
GSM 900 Half rate speech
The reference sensitivity performance in terms of frame erasure, bit error, or residual bit error rates (whichever is
appropriate) is specified in the following table, according to the propagation conditions.
GSM 1800 Full rate speech
The reference sensitivity performance in terms of frame erasure, bit error, or residual bit error rates (whichever is
appropriate) is specified in the following table, according to the propagation conditions.
The reference sensitivity level is <-102 dBm.
