Terms of Reference for TC ERM Working Group (WG) SRR: Automotive and surveillance radar

Approved at ERM #87b

1           Tasks:

The task of TC ERM WG SRR is to create and update standards, System Reference documents (SRdocs) or other technical documents for Short Range Devices (SRD) as covered by the ERC Recommendation 70-03 and the relevant EC/ECC Decisions in the field of automotive and surveillance radar applications.

TC ERM WG SRR will also investigate spectrum parameters for use in automotive and surveillance radar systems in order to ensure the efficient use of the radio spectrum, considering global harmonisation.

Note that the term surveillance radar is also used in the aeronautical world but with a different meaning.

2           Remarks:

Horizontal aspects related to EMC and radio spectrum matters will be deferred to TC ERM WG EMC and TC ERM WG RM respectively.

Cooperation with CEPT ECC SRDMG, PT SE21 and PT SE24 on spectrum compatibility study issues will be maintained.

Cooperation is required with TC ERM WG UWB, TC ERM WG 37 and TC ERM WG 28 particularly on generic SRD standards.

Cooperation with TC ERM WG EMC is related to definition and test of relevant EMC parameters and on automotive specific EMC issues.

As needed, liaisons will be established on activities concerning global harmonisation issues with bodies outside ETSI (e.g. ISO) following TC ERM working rules and procedures on matters relevant for the development of the draft standards.
