Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS); Radiocommunications equipment operating in the 63 GHz to 64 GHz frequency band; Harmonized EN covering the essential requirements of article 3.2 of the R&TTE Directive (V1.0.0)
"The present document applies to corporate communications using radio transmitters and receivers for Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS). ITS communications may comprise vehicle-to-vehicle@ vehicle-to-infrastructure and infrastructure-to-vehicle. The equipment is comprised of a transmitter and associated encoder and modulator and/or a receiver and associated demodulator and decoder. The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows: ? OnBoard Equipment (OBE equipment fitted with an integral or dedicated antenna(s)@ intended for use in vehicles@ e.g. a road or a rail vehicle). ? Road Side Equipment (RSE equipment fitted with an antenna socket@ integral or dedicated antenna(s)@ normally used as a fixed station); e.g. a road or rail infrastructure. These networks operate over a short range with very wideband communications using a variety of directional medium and high gain antennas to enable a high degree of spectrum reuse@ and may use a flexible bandwidth scheme under which they normally operate in a wideband mode@ and periodically reduce their bandwidth (e.g. for antenna training and other activities). The technical characteristics of these applications are described in TR 102 400 [i.1]@ where ITS applications in the 63 GHz to 64 GHz band is described. The present document is also in line with the results of the of the spectrum compatibility study in the CEPT ECC Report 113 [i.3]. These radio equipment types are capable of operating in all or any part of the frequency bands. The present document is intended to cover the provisions of Directive 1999/5/EC [i.9] (RTTE Directive)@ article 3.2@ 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 RTTE 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."
