scope:

The present document applies to transceivers, transmitters and receivers utilizing Ultra WideBand (UWB) technologies and used for short range applications. The present document applies to impulse, modified impulse and RF carrier based UWB communication technologies.

The present document applies to fixed (indoor only), mobile or portable applications, e.g.:

• stand-alone radio equipment with or without its own control provisions;

• plug-in radio devices intended for use with, or within, a variety of host systems, e.g. personal computers, hand-held terminals, etc.;

• plug-in radio devices intended for use within combined equipment, e.g. cable modems, set-top boxes, access points, etc.;

• combined equipment or a combination of a plug-in radio device and a specific type of host equipment.

As per the ECC/DEC/(06)04 [i.2] and Decision 2007/131/EC [i.4] and its amendments [i.5], [i.6], the UWB transmitter equipment conforming to the present document is not to be installed at a fixed outdoor location, for use in flying models, aircraft and other forms of aviation. The present document applies to UWB equipment with an output connection used with a dedicated antenna or UWB equipment with an integral antenna.

Equipment covered by the present document operates in accordance with ECC/DEC(06)04 [i.2] "The harmonised conditions for devices using Ultra-Wideband (UWB) technology in bands below 10,6 GHz".

These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.

The present document does not apply to radio equipment for which a specific harmonised standard applies as such harmonised standards may specify additional EN requirements relevant to the presumption of conformity under article 3.2 of the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].
