DEFINITIONS:

“SRD-Short Range Devices” - The designation “Sort Range Devices” (SRDs, Short Range Devices) is meant to include the radio transmitters which establish uni-directional or bidirectional communications and those unlikely of causing interferences to other radio equipment. The SRDs uses integrated, dedicated or external antennas, being allowed all types of modulation as long as they fulfil whatever is specified in the relevant norms. Given the diversity of supplied services of this equipment, no description can be exhaustive enough.

Applications for railways - Specific applications for railways, including automatic vehicle identification and balises (Train control system)

Telemetry systems for road transportation - Communication systems for transportation support (mobile data links amongst vehicles and between vehicles and the infrastructure)

Movement detection and alert - Movement detection equipment and alert equipment (low power radar systems for the purpose of radiodetermination: determination of position, of speed and/or other characteristics of an object, or then obtaining information relative to these parameters).

Model Control – Movement control equipment for models in the air, on land and above or under the water.

Inductive Systems – Vehicle immobilizer, animal identification, alarm systems, cable detection, surplus management, personnel identification, voice wireless links, access control, proximity sensors, theft prevention systems including RF systems of theft prevention induction, data transfer for portable equipment, goods automatic identification, wireless control systems and automatic toll systems.

Active medical implantation with very low power - Instruments, apparatus, devices, materials or other goods, to be used isolated or jointly, for: diagnosis, prevention, monitoring, treatment or mitigation of illness; diagnosis, monitoring, treatment or mitigation or compensation of injury or deficiency; examination, substitution or modification of anatomy or of a physiological process; conception control.

Wireless audio systems – Wireless loudspeakers; wireless headphones; wireless headphones for portable use, for example CD and cassettes players or portable radios; wireless headphones for use inside vehicles, for example for use in radios, telephones, etc.; auricular monitoring for use in concerts or other type of stage productions.

Effective radiated power (ERP) in a given direction - the product of the power supplied to the antenna by its gain relative to a half-wave dipole in a given direction.

Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) in a given direction - the product of the power supplied to the antenna by its gain relative to an isotropic antenna in a given direction (absolute or isotropic gain)

Average equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) – it is equal to the average of EIRP throughout a data burst, whenever the power control is at its maximum.

Integrated antenna – non removable antenna

Dedicated antenna – removable antenna supplied with the station

External Antenna – antenna not suitably designed for certain type of station

Spread Spectrum - the transmission technique where the signal occupies a bandwidth much larger than the minimum necessary to send information;

Frequency hopping spread spectrum - the technique of spread spectrum where the information is sent over several channels in a pseudo-aleatory form;

Direct sequence spread spectrum - the technique of spread spectrum where the information is combined with a pseudo-aleatory code;

“Duty cycle” – It is a relation, expressed in percentage, of the maximum period of time where equipment is active with one or more carriers, relatively to one hour period.

Interference - the effect caused on the reception, in a radiocommunication system, by an unwanted energy due to some emission, radiation or induction (or a combination of these emissions, radiations or inductions) and that is clearly shown by the degradation of the transmission quality, by the deformation or loss of information that could be obtained in the
absence of that unwanted energy.

Notes

nt_title

¹ In compliance with the Decision ECC/DEC/(01)01, adopted by the Portuguese Administration, these frequency bands are no longer identified for this type of equipment; meanwhile the necessary measures will be taken allowing gradually the reduction of its utilization, with the objective of freeing the frequency bands until end of 2008.
² Video Applications are only allowed above 2,4 GHz
³ In this band, applications of audio and voice signals, are not allowed
⁴ In the 433, 05 - 434,790 MHz band are also allowed the utilizations with 100% of ducty cycle limited to 1 mW de e.r.p.In the 434, 04 - 434,790 MHz sub-band is allowed utilizations with 100% of ducty cycle limited to 10 mW de e.r.p.
⁵ For systems using techniques of spectral scattering by direct sequence, the value of the spectral density of maximum power must be limited to -20 dBW/1 MHz; for systems using techniques of spectral scattering by frequency jump, the value of the spectral density of maximum power must be limited to -10 dBW/100 kHz.
⁶ The following conditions, should be observed : 1) In the 5150 - 5350 MHz band are only allowed utilizations “indoor” 2) Control of transmitted power to guarantee a factor of attenuation of at least 3 dB; 3) Dynamic selection of frequencies associated with the channel selection mechanism in such a way to allow a uniform scattering of a minimum of 330 MHz in the 5150 - 5350 MHz bands and of 255 MHz in the 5470 - 5725 MHz bands.
As intermediate solution and for a limited period of time, applications without dynamic selection of limited frequencies are allowed to the frequency bands of 5150 - 5250 MHz, with a maximum power limit of 60 mW of e.i.r.p. for applications with automatic power control and a maximum power limit of 30 mW of e.i.r.p. for applications without automatic power control. This situation will be revaluated opportunely.
Maximum value of average e.i.r.p.
