scope:

The present document applies to Short Range Devices (SRDs) transmitters and receivers:

- transmitters operating in range from 1 GHz to 40 GHz with power levels ranging up to 4W;

- receivers operating in the range from 1 GHz to 40 GHz.

The present document contains the technical characteristics for radio equipment and is referencingCEPT/ERC Recommendation for SRDs CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [5].

The present document does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. It is a product family standard which may be completely or partially superseded by specific standards covering specific applications.

The present document applies to generic SRDs:

- either with a Radio Frequency (RF) output connection and specified antenna, or with an integral antenna;

- for alarms, identification systems, radio-determination, telecommand, telemetry etc. applications;

- for all types of modulation;

- with or without speech.

The present document covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations. If a system includes transponders, these are measured together with the transmitter.

The technical requirements of the present document apply under the environmental profile for operation of the equipment, which shall be declared by the manufacturer. The equipment shall comply with all the technical requirements of the present document at all times when operating within the boundary limits of the declared operational environmental profile.

All types of modulation for radio devices are covered by the present document, provided the requirements of clause 4.1.2 are met.

The radio equipment, covered by the classification SRD is divided into several power classes based on maximum output power (see table 1). The power class designation is based on CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [5].

NOTE 1: For RFID applications, see annex C of Part 1 of this standard.

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [1] (R&TTE Directive), see annex E of EN 300 440-1 [3].

In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of Article 3 ofthe R&TTE Directive [1] may apply to equipment within the scope ofthe present document.

NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://vvww.newapproach.org.
