Modal verbs terminology
In the present document "shall", "shall not", "should", "should not", "may", "need not", "will", "will not", "can" and
"cannot" are to be interpreted as described in clause 3.2 of the ETSI Drafting Rules (Verbal forms for the expression of
provisions).
"must" and "must not" are NOT allowed in ETSI deliverables except when used in direct citation.
Introduction
In June 2016, the Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] will replace the R&TTE Directive [i.2]. One of the main differences is
that article 3.2 of the new Directive requires not only transmitters/transceivers, but also receivers to use spectrum
efficiently and effectively and protect against harmful interference.
ETSI has published ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] covering receiver parameters to be considered when updating harmonised
standards. However, the parameter selection in that guide suggests that it was written with narrowband systems
operating in licensed, channelized bands in mind.
The present document contains the results of the specialist task force (STF) 494 dealing with receiver parameters for
ultra-wideband (UWB) applications.

1 Scope
The present document specifies receiver technical requirements, parameters and measurement procedures for UWB
technologies.
It is a reference document for drafting new or revised UWB harmonised standards to fulfil the requirements of the
Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1].

4 Purpose of receiver parameters
The intention of article 3.2 of Directive 2014/53/EU [i.1] in relation to a receiver is explained in recitals 10 and 11 of
the Directive which state:
".in the case of a receiver, it [receiving device] has a level of performance that allows it to operate as intended and
protects it against the risk of harmful interference, in particular from shared or adjacent channels, and, in so doing,
supports improvements in the efficient use of shared or adjacent channels."
ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] translates these high level essential requirements into technical specifications by defining a
number of receiver parameters in clause 5.3 of ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3].
In order to specify performance of the receiving device, ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] uses terms like 'level of performance'
and 'a given degradation'. Therefore, quantified performance criteria are required. Clause 5 of the present document
discusses these performance criteria in the context of UWB applications. Clause 6 then considers the receiver
parameters in ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] and proposes more suitable receiver parameters for UWB applications.
As a result, the definition of receiver parameters should ensure the proper operation of receiving devices in an
environment co-located with other radio equipment.

5 Receiver performance criteria and level of
performance
A way to quantify, evaluate and specify the level of performance of the receiving device is required. A performance
criterion is defined as the metric used to evaluate the performance of the device. The performance criterion reflects a
certain performance of the receiving device, e.g. bit error ratio (BER) versus received signal power for communication
systems or detection depth for a wall scanner.
For communications applications, standards usually specify a minimum receiver sensitivity level to ensure
interoperability. However, it is interesting to note that no receiver sensitivity level is mandated by the IEEE 802.15.4
UWB PHY [i.4] specification. In practice, most UWB communication devices available are proprietary systems
developed for specific applications. Rather than mandating a common performance level, it is therefore more
appropriate to let the manufacturer specify an "intended level of performance".
For non-communication devices, e.g. sensors, radars, and so on, the transmitter and the receiver are generally designed
by the same manufacturer, who can design the system in such a way that it performs "as intended". There is no need of
interoperability among sensor or radar devices provided by different manufacturers. Non-communication devices may
be considered "custom applications", with performance requirements best determined by the manufacturer.
While a common performance criterion would be more desirable, these examples and the discussion above demonstrate
that due to the wide variety of UWB applications, the performance criterion needs to be application dependent. The
manufacturers, with their knowledge of the application, are best placed to define and specify the performance criterion
such that the device "has a level of performance that allows it to operate as intended", as clearly required by Article 3.2
of the RED [i.1].
Further information on performance criteria for communication devices is provided in clause A.1 and for sensor devices
in clause A.2. Recommended performance criteria and tests for common applications are listed in clause 9.4. Where the
indicated performance criteria are not suitable, the performance criterion used to determine the performance of the
receiver shall be declared and published by the manufacturer.
The performance criterion and the level of performance shall be stated in the user manual (see clause 9.2.1).
6 Receiver parameters
6.1 Introduction
ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] lists receiver parameters that need to be evaluated and considered as possible candidates to be
included in the harmonised standards.
These receiver parameters are very much tailored for narrow band channelized communication systems. For each of
these systems an application specific standard exists.
Looking at ultra-wideband systems where the bandwidth is much higher, there's a huge variety of different applications
covered by one standard and in most cases no clearly defined channels can be found.
Hence, the classical receiver parameters used in ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] cannot be used for ultra-wideband systems.
Instead, other meaningful receiver parameters should be used that meet the requirement to ensure proper device
operation in a shared environment.
In addition to the above general considerations the parameters from ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3] are discussed in clause 6.2.
6.2 Receiver parameters in ETSI EG 203 336
6.2.1 Receiver sensitivity
Receiver sensitivity is the ability to receive a wanted signal at low input signal levels while providing a pre-determined
level of performance. In general increased sensitivity converts into an improved link budget. However, as suggested in
ETSI EG 203 336 [i.3], given the wide range of UWB applications, it is more appropriate to let the manufacturer decide
the right balance between receiver sensitivity and interference immunity.
