ETSIEN 301 091 V1.1.1 (1998-06)7IntroductionThe present document contains the technical characteristics for radio equipment referencing CEPT/ERC Decision andRecommendations, including TR 01-06 [6].The present document was drafted on the assumption that type test measurements performed by an accredited testlaboratory, will be accepted by the various national regulatory authorities in order to grant type approval, provided thenational regulatory requirements are met. This is in compliance with CEPT/ERC Recommendation T/R 01-06 [6].The present document refers to short range radar systems using specified modulation schemes, and within the band76 GHz to 77 GHz as specified by ERC/DEC/(92)02 [1].Full use of the 76 GHz to 77 GHz band is permitted subject to the constraints as defined in clause 7.There are two "classes" defined within the present document, class 1 and class 2. The single difference between thesetwo classes is the level of permitted transmitted power in the 76 GHz to 77 GHz band.The present document reflects the potential for the coexistence of the maximum number of systems in the samegeographical location, with minimal interference.For class 1, the mean power density at the carrier frequency does not exceed 0,9 W / m2 at 3 m (50 dBm EIRP).The peak equivalent power density at the carrier frequency does not exceed 3 W / m2 at 3 m (55 dBm EIRP).For class 2, the mean power density at the carrier frequency does not exceed 0,002 W / m2 at 3 m (23,5 dBm EIRP).The peak equivalent power density at the carrier frequency does not exceed 3 W / m2 at 3 m (55 dBm EIRP).In order to permit the greatest freedom of design of equipment, whilst protecting other radio services from disturbance, abalance is required between the permitted range of frequencies on which the equipment may be used, and its frequencystability and modulation characteristics. The present document specifies the operational frequency and bandwidth ascovered by ERC/DEC/(92)02 [1].Clauses 1 to 3 give a general description of the types of equipment covered by the present document and the definitionsand abbreviations used. Clause 4 gives general information in order that type tests may be carried out and any markingson the equipment to be provided by the manufacturer.Clauses 5 and 6 specify the test conditions.Clause 7 specifies the limits of the parameters which are required to be tested. These limits have been chosen tominimize harmful disturbance to and from other equipment and services. These clauses also specify how the equipmentis to be tested and the conditions which are applied.Clause 8 specifies the maximum measurement uncertainty values.Annex A provides normative standards concerning test sites for radiated measurements.Annex B provides general information relating to measurement methods.Annex C provides information on the technical parameters which need to comply with the EMC Directive.Annex D is an informative annex relating to the permitted safe levels of radiated power.Annex E is an informative annex on the equation for the conversion of power density to Equivalent IsotropicallyRadiated Power (EIRP).SIST EN 301 091 V1.1.1:2003

ETSIEN 301 091 V1.1.1 (1998-06)81ScopeThe present document specifies the requirements for a short range 76 GHz to 77 GHz radar intended for Road Transportand Traffic Telematics (RTTT) applications (amongst others), such as Automotive Cruise Control (ACC), CollisionWarning (CW) and Anti-Collision (AC) systems for vehicles, and to assure electromagnetic compatibility.The present document applies to:-low power motion and distance monitoring radars for mobile and fixed applications; operating on radiofrequencies in the 76 GHz to 77 GHz band, with mean power densities of up to 0,9 W / m2 at 3 m (50 dBmEIRP), and up to 3 W / m2 peak at 3 m (55 dBm EIRP) for class 1, and mean power densities of up to0,002 W / m2 at 3 m (23,5 dBm EIRP), and up to 3 W / m2 peak at 3m (55 dBm EIRP) for class 2.It covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the allocated frequencyband. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics which may be required by a user, nor does it necessarilyrepresent the optimum performance achievable.The present document is based upon ERC/DEC/(92)02 [1]. It is a product standard covering various RTTT applications.The present document covers radars for fixed and mobile applications. It covers integrated transceivers and separatetransmit/receive modules.The present document includes standards for methods of measurement for equipment fitted with associated antenna.Additional standards or standards may be required for equipment such as that intended for connection to the public orprivate networks or other systems.2Normative referencesReferences may be made to:a)specific versions of publications (identified by date of publication, edition number, version number, etc.), inwhich case, subsequent revisions to the referenced document do not apply; orb)all versions up to and including the identified version (identified by "up to and including" before the versionidentity); orc)all versions subsequent to and including the identified version (identified by "onwards" following the versionidentity); ord)publications without mention of a specific version, in which case the latest version applies.A non-specific reference to an ETS shall also be taken to refer to later versions published as an EN with the samenumber.[1]ERC Decision of 22 October 1992 on the frequency bands to be designated for the co-ordinatedintroduction of Road Transport Telematic Systems (RTT) (ERC/DEC/(92)02).[2]CISPR 16-1: "Specifications for radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus andmethods; Part 1: Radio disturbance and immunity measuring apparatus".[3]CISPR 16-2 "Specifications for radio disturbances and immunity measuring apparatus andmethods; Part 2: Methods of measurement of disturbance and immunity".[4]EN 55022 (1995): "Limits and methods of measurement of radio disturbance characteristics ofinformation technology equipment".[5]Regulation 95/54/EEC the Automotive EMC Directive.[6]ERC/REC Recommendation TR 01-06: "Procedure for mutual recognition of type testing approvalfor radio equipment".SIST EN 301 091 V1.1.1:2003

This prohibits the use of the test fixture, shown in figure 1.For different frequency bands, different test sites, test antennas and standard positions are suitable and/or may be used.Each test site shall meet the appropriate requirements as defined in published guidelines/standards (e.g. for OATS therequirements are defined in CISPR 16-1 [2].6.1Test fixtureThe test fixture enables the EUT to be physically supported, together with a waveguide horn antenna (which is used tocouple/sample the transmitted energy), in a fixed physical relationship. The test fixture should be designed for use in ananechoic environment and allows certain measurements to be performed in the near field. Only relative or comparativemeasurements may be performed, and only those at the frequencies in the 76 GHz to 77 GHz band over which the testfixture has been calibrated.At set-up, the EUT shall be aligned in the test fixture so that the maximum power is detected at the coupled output (seealso subclauses 7.2.2 and 7.3.2). Orientation of the horn will take into account the polarization of the EUT.In addition, the test fixture shall provide a connection to an external power supply.The test fixture shall be provided by the manufacturer together with a full description, which should meet with
