ÖNORM EN 301893 V 1.3.1

The present document applies to 5 GHz high performance RLAN equipment that is intended to operate in the frequency ranges 5 150 MHz to 5 350 MHz and 5 470 MHz to 5 725 MHz on any of the carrier frequencies as per table 1. Specific requirements are described for (equipment having the capability of) avoiding occupied channels by employing a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) mechanism and implementing Transmit Power Control (TPC), as required in ECC/DEC(04)08 [7]. NOTE 1: This mechanism is also required and described in ITU-R Recommendation M.1652 (see bibliography). The present document is intended to cover the provisions of article 3.2 of R&TTE Directive [1], 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 R&TTE Directive [1] will apply to equipment within the scope of the present document. NOTE 2: A list of such ENs is included on the web site http://www.newapproach.org.
