ACS is the ratio of the receiver filter attenuation on the assigned channel frequency to the receiver filter attenuation on the adjacent channel(s). For a similar reason as that mentioned in the ACLR section, itis difficult to implement a perfect filter with low side lobe in the UE; therefore, downlink adjacent channel interference is mainly caused by UE’s imperfect receiver.
