Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM); Radio Frequency Identification Equipment operating in the band 865 MHz to 868 MHz with power levels up to 2 W; Part 1: Technical requirements and methods of measurement

Scope

The present document covers the minimum characteristics considered necessary in order to make the best use of the available frequencies. It does not necessarily include all the characteristics that may be required by a user, nor does it necessarily represent the optimum performance achievable. Radio frequency identification products covered within the present document are considered by definition short-range devices. Power limits up to a maximum e.r.p. of 2 W are specified for this equipment in the frequency range 865 MHz to 868 MHz. The present document applies to RFID interrogators and tags operating together as a system. The interrogators transmit within 200 kHz sub-bands using a modulated carrier. The tags respond with a modulated signal. Interrogators may be used with either integral or external antennas. Electromagnetic Compatibility (EMC) requirements are covered by EN 301 489-1 [4] and EN 301 489-3 [7]. The types of equipment covered by the present document are as follows:
