NOTE 1: In Europe, according to [i.9] and [i.10], radio equipment in band 28 is only allowed between 703 MHz and 
736 MHz (FUL_low = 703 MHz and FUL_high = 736 MHz) for the transmitter and between 758 MHz and 791 MHz 
(FDL_low = 758 MHz and FDL_high = 791 MHz) for the receiver. 
NOTE 2: Variable duplex operation does not enable dynamic variable duplex configuration by the network, and is used 
such that DL and UL frequency ranges are supported independently in any valid frequency range for the 
band. 
NOTE 3: For those bands, mechanisms to ensure no-transmit zones for the aerial UEs are not considered in the 
current version of the present document. 
 
NOTE: The relationship between the present document and essential requirements of article 3.2 of 
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] is given in annex A. 
 
ETSI 
Draft ETSI EN 301 908-26 V1.0.0 (2026-08) 11 
The present document covers requirements for E-UTRA and NR aerial UE from 3GPP™ Releases 18 defined in 
ETSI TS 136 101 [2] and ETSI TS 138 101-1 [3], respectively. This includes the requirements for E-UTRA and NR 
aerial UE operating bands from 3GPP™ Release 18 defined in ETSI TS 136 101 [2] and ETSI TS 138 101-1 [3]. 
The requirements for NR aerial UE in the present document apply to the combination of channel bandwidths, SCS and 
operating bands shown in Table 1.1-2. The channel bandwidths are specified for both the TX and RX path.
