scope:

The present document applies to the following Short Range Device major equipment types:

• Generic Short Range Devices, including alarms, telecommand, telemetry, data transmission in general, etc.

These radio equipment types are capable of operating in frequency bands within the 40 GHz to 246 GHz range as specified in table 1:

• either with a Radio Frequency (RF) output connection and dedicated antenna or with an integral antenna;

• for all types of modulation.

Table 1 shows a list of the frequency bands as designated in the CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1] as known at the date of publication of the present document.

NOTE 1: Table 1 represents the most widely implemented position within the CEPT countries [i.1], but it should not be assumed that all designated bands are available in all countries. It is also foreseen that these frequencies may be implemented in European Commission Decision 2006/771/EC [i.2], European Commission Decision 2013/752/EU [i.12] and CEPT/ERC Recommendation 74-01 [i.4] in the future.

NOTE 2: In addition, it should be noted that other frequency bands may be available for short range devices in a country within the frequency range 40 GHz to 246 GHz covered by the present document. See the CEPT/ERC Recommendation 70-03 [i.1] or as implemented through National Radio Interfaces (NRI) and additional NRI as relevant.

NOTE 3: On non-harmonized parameters, national administrations may impose certain conditions such as the type of modulation, frequency, channel/frequency separations, maximum transmitter radiated power, duty cycle, and the inclusion of an automatic transmitter shut-off facility, as a condition for the issue of an individual or general licence, or as a condition for the issuing of Individual Rights for use of spectrum or General Authorization, or as a condition for use "under licence exemption" as it is in most cases for Short Range Devices.

The present document covers fixed stations, mobile stations and portable stations.
