scope:

The present document specifies the reference receiver performance parameters, not covered by the harmonized standards EN 300 328 [i] and draft EN 301 893 [2], which are required for the purpose of spectrum planning and methods of investigation including resolving interference issues. These parameters play a fundamental role in the frequency planning and the respective compatibility analysis performed by responsible national administrations.

The present document applies to equipment utilizing wideband radio modulation techniques such as described in the IEEE 802.11 [4], [5], [6], [7] and [SI, Hiperlan2 [9], HomeRF [ l i ] and B1uetoothTM[ lo] standards.

Fixed, mobile or portable applications, e.g.:

• stand-alone radio equipment with or without their 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.

This radio equipment is capable of operating in all or any part of the 2,4 GHz Industrial, Scientific and Medical (ISM) service frequency band shown in table 1 or on any of the carrier centre frequencies in the 5 GHz bands as listed in table 2.
