Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM).
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [i.2] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] of the European Parliament
and of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
The present document is part 33 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [1].

National transposition dates
Date of adoption of this EN: 2 February 2009
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 31 May 2009
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 30 November 2009
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 30 November 2010

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399 [i.4].

1 Scope
The present document, together with EN 301 489-1 [1] covers EMC requirements of transceivers, transmitters and
receivers utilizing Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technologies and used for short range communication purposes.
The present document applies to impulse, modified impulse and RF carrier based UWB communication technologies.
The present document applies to fixed (indoor only), 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;
• equipment for use in road and rail vehicles.
In case of differences (for instance concerning special conditions, definitions, abbreviations) between the present
document and EN 301 489-1 [1], the provisions of the present document take precedence.
The environmental classification and the emission and immunity requirements used in the present document are as
stated in EN 301 489-1 [1], except for any special conditions included in the present document.
The present document does not cover UWB transmitter equipment to be installed at a fixed outdoor location or for use
in flying models, aircraft and other forms of aviation as per the ECC/DEC/(06)04 [i.5].
The present document applies to UWB equipment with an output connection used with a dedicated antenna or UWB
equipment with an integral antenna.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Radiocommunications frequency bands
Radiocommunications frequency bands
Transmit 3,4 GHz to 4,8 GHz
Receive 3,4 GHz to 4,8 GHz
Transmit 6,0 GHz to 8,5 GHz
Receive 6,0 GHz to 8,5 GHz

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.1] (R&TTE Directive),
article 3.1(b).
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.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.

Foreword
This Harmonized European Standard (Telecommunications series) has been produced by ETSI Technical Committee
Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM), and is now submitted for the Public Enquiry phase
of the ETSI standards Two-step Approval Procedure.
The present document has been produced by ETSI in response to a mandate from the European Commission issued
under Council Directive 98/34/EC [3] (as amended) laying down a procedure for the provision of information in the
field of technical standards and regulations.
The present document is intended to become a Harmonized Standard, the reference of which will be published in the
Official Journal of the European Communities referencing the Directive 1999/5/EC [2] of the European Parliament and
of the Council of 9 March 1999 on radio equipment and telecommunications terminal equipment and the mutual
recognition of their conformity ("the R&TTE Directive").
The present document is part 33 of a multi-part deliverable. Full details of the entire series can be found in part 1 [1].

Proposed national transposition dates
Date of latest announcement of this EN (doa): 3 months after ETSI publication
Date of latest publication of new National Standard
or endorsement of this EN (dop/e): 6 months after doa
Date of withdrawal of any conflicting National Standard (dow): 18 months after doa

Introduction
The present document is part of a set of standards developed by ETSI and is designed to fit in a modular structure to
cover all radio and telecommunications terminal equipment within the scope of the R&TTE Directive. The modular
structure is shown in EG 201 399 [5].

1 Scope
The present document applies to transceivers, transmitters and receivers utilizing Ultra Wide Band (UWB) technologies
and used for short range communication purposes.
The present document applies to impulse, modified impulse and RF carrier based UWB communication technologies.
The present document applies to fixed (indoor only), 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;
• equipment for use in road and rail vehicles.
The present document does not cover UWB transmitter equipment to be installed at a fixed outdoor location or for use
in flying models, aircraft and other forms of aviation as per the ECC/DEC/(06)04 [6].
The present document applies to UWB equipment with an output connection used with a dedicated antenna or UWB
equipment with an integral antenna.
These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or part of the frequency bands given in table 1.
Table 1: Radiocommunications frequency bands
Radiocommunications frequency bands
Transmit 3,4 GHz to 4,8 GHz
Receive 3,4 GHz to 4,8 GHz
Transmit 6,0 GHz to 8,5 GHz
Receive 6,0 GHz to 8,5 GHz

The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [2] (R&TTE Directive), article 3.1(b).
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.
NOTE: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
