Electromagnetic compatibility and Radio spectrum Matters (ERM);Short Range Devices (SRD);Technical characteristics for SRD equipment using Ultra WideBand technology (UWB);Object Discrimination and Characterization Applications for power tool devices operating in the frequency band from 2,2 GHz to 8,5 GHz;Part 1: Technical characteristics and test methods

Scope

The present document specifies the requirements for Object Discrimination and Characterization Applications (ODC) for power tool devices using UWB technology operating in all or part of the frequency band from 2,2 GHz to 8,5 GHz. Additionally, it specifies reduced emissions in the ranges from 0,96 GHz to 2,2 GHz and 8,5 GHz to 10,6 GHz. The present document applies to: a) b) c) UWB object discrimination and characterisation equipment for imaging and object detection applications; equipment fitted with an integral antenna; Two main categories: 1) 2) Category A: user protection in bentchtop tools/table saws (quasi fixed sawing equipment). Category B: breakthrough protection in drilling devices. The present document does not apply to: • UWB communication devices; and • Ground penetrating radar devices; and • through-wall radar imaging devices; • building material devices; as defined in ITU-R Recommendation SM.1754 [i.1] and EN 302 435-1 [i.6].
