TIA ANSI/TIA-97-F-1

This Standard details definitions, methods of measurement, and minimum performance requirements for Code Division Multiple Access (CDMA) base stations.

This Standard shares the purpose of [3] (and subsequent revisions thereof) by ensuring that a mobile station can obtain service in any system that meets the compatibility requirements of [3].

Compatibility, as used in connection with this Standard and [3], is understood to mean that any mobile station is able to place and receive calls in any system. Conversely, all systems are able to place and receive calls with any mobile station.

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