REN/ERM-TGUWB-016

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].

The present document applies to transceivers, transmitters and receivers utilizing Ultra WideBand (UWB) technologies and used for location tracking purposes. The present document applies to impulse, modified impulse and RF carrier based UWB communication technologies. The present document applies to fixed, mobile or portable applications, e.g.:
• 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,
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.
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 covers three different types of location tracking system, which may use either of the UWB technologies listed previously:
• LT1 systems: These systems, operating in the 6 GHz to 9 GHz region (see CEPT Report 45 [i.13]), are intended for general location tracking of people and objects. They operate on an unlicensed basis. The transmitting terminals in these systems are mobile (indoors or outdoors), or fixed (indoors only). Fixed outdoor LT1 transmitters are not permitted. Typically, LT1 transmitters are mobile location tracking tags which are attached to people or objects, and tags are tracked using a fixed receiver infrastructure to only receive the UWB emission emitted by the tags, EG 201 399 [i.1].
• LT2 systems: These systems, operating in the 3,1 GHz to 4,8 GHz region (see ECC/REC(11)09 [i.8]), are intended for person and object tracking and industrial applications at well-defined locations. The transmitting terminals in these systems may be located indoors or outdoors, and may be fixed or mobile. They operate at fixed sites and may be subject to registration and authorization, provided local coordination with possible
interference victims has been performed, ECC Report 167 [i.10] and ECC Report 170 [i.11].
• LAES systems: These systems, operating in the 3,1 GHz to 4,8 GHz region (see ECC/REC(11)10 [i.9]), are intended for tracking staff belonging to the fire and other emergency services, who need to work in dangerous situations. Being able to track such people, even when deep inside a building, provides an important enhancement to command and control and to their personal safety. Typically, an LAES system is deployed temporarily at the scene of a fire or other emergency in a building. Licences may be required for user organization, ECC Report 167 [i.10] and ECC Report 170 [i.11]. Some individual location tracking devices may be able to operate within different kinds of location tracking systems, and therefore may meet (in different modes) the requirements of any or all of LT1, LT2 and LAES. The present document does not cover UWB transmitters whose authorization to operate depends solely on the tests set out in the present document and which are installed or used in flying models, aircraft and other forms of aviation. Furthermore, it does not cover LT1 UWB transmitters that are operated on board a road or rail vehicle running on a public network or highway. A summary of the radio bands in which these radio equipment types are capable of operating is given in table 1.

REN/ERM-TGUWB-009-2

The present document specifies the requirements for ultra-wideband Location Tracking equipment operating in all or part of the frequency range from 6 GHz to 9 GHz. The present document applies for indoor as well as portable or mobile outdoor applications. It covers ultra-wideband location tracking tags which are attached to people or objects and are tracked using a fixed receiver infrastructure to only receive the UWB emission by the tags. Equipment covered by the present document is fitted with an integral or dedicated antenna. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.2] R&TTE Directive, which states that "... radio equipment shall be so constructed that it effectively uses the spectrum allocated to terrestrial/space radio communications and orbital resources so as to avoid harmful interference". In addition to the present document, other ENs that specify technical requirements in respect of essential requirements under other parts of article 3 of the R&TTE Directive may apply to equipment within the scope of the present document.

REN/ERM-TG31C-257-2

The present document defines the requirements for radio frequency usage for Ultra Wide Band (UWB) location tracking devices. These devices operate in the frequency range from 6 GHz to 9 GHz and use a fixed infrastructure. It covers Ultra Wide Band location tracking tags which are attached to people or objects and are tracked using a fixed infrastructure. Operation is mainly indoors. Outdoor usage is only allowed under an adequate national licensing scheme.
