scope:

The present document specifies technical characteristics and methods of measurements for Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) User Equipment (GUE).

Global Navigation Satellite System (GNSS) User Equipment (GUE) is capable of operating as part of one or more radionavigation-satellite service (RNSS) systems in the RNSS frequency bands given in table 1-1.

A GUE receives radio signals from one or more GNSS for the purpose of radiodetermination of the position, velocity, and/or other characteristics of an object, or the obtaining of information relating to those parameters, by means of the propagation properties of radio waves. RNSS is defined as "A radiodetermination-satellite service used for the purpose of radionavigation" (article 1.43 of ITU Radio Regulations [i.16]).

The present document applies to all GUE operating in the bands given in table 1-1 with the ability to receive any GNSS (e.g. Galileo, Global Positioning System (GPS), BeiDou (BDS), Global Navigation Satellite System (GLONASS), Space Based Augmentation Systems (SBAS)).

The present document applies to the GUE only. For other systems that include a GNSS receiver, the requirements of the most appropriate harmonised standard for that type of equipment apply.

The present document covers the essential requirements of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] under the conditions identified in annex A.

As stated in the annex I of the Radio Equipment Directive [i.1] the present document does not cover:

• Marine equipment falling within the scope of Council Directive 96/98/EC [i.13].

• Airborne products, parts and appliances falling within the scope of Article 3 of Regulation (EC) No 216/2008 [i.14] of the European Parliament and of the Council.

NOTE: A new version of the Marine Equipment Directive has been published and the reference should be Directive 2014/90/EU [i.15]. However, this citation has not been updated in the RED.
