The present document applies to transceivers, transmitters and receivers utilizing Ultra WideBand (UWB) technologies and used for short range applications in road and rail vehicles, which includes devices mounted inside or at the surface.
The present document applies to impulse, modified impulse and RF carrier based UWB technologies in the main operating frequency ranges from 3,1 GHz to 4,8 GHz or from 6 GHz to 9 GHz.
Examples of applications for road and rail vehicles are:
- 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, etc.;
- plug-in radio devices intended for use within combined equipment, e.g. modems, access points, etc.;
- equipment for telemetry communication inside and outside of road and rail vehicles;
- equipment for the localization of devices inside and outside of road and rail vehicles (e.g. hand-held devices);
- equipment to investigate materials (e.g. fuel).
The present document does not apply to fixed road infrastructure installations. For fixed rail infrastructure tracking applications see TR 101 538 [i.5] and TS 103 085 [i.6].
The present document applies to UWB equipment with an output connection used with a dedicated antenna or UWB equipment with an integral antenna.
The present document applies to UWB equipment conforming to ECC/DEC/(06)04 amended 9 December 2011 [i.11] and CEPT Report 45 [i.13].
