System Reference Document TR 101 994-1(UWB
Communications)

• TR 101 994-1 published as an ETSI Technical
  Report and forwarded to CEPT to support
  interference studies
• TR content includes
• Description of the UWB PHY approaches developed
  in IEEE and enabling communication data rates of
  110, 200, 480 Mb/s for CE, PC and Mobile
  applications (e.g Wireless USB)
• UWB Characteristics to support interference
  studies(activity factors, traffic and session
  information, transmitter activity coordination,
  etc.)
• Suggested interference studies to be made by CEPT
  
• Market forecast applications and volumes per
  applicationuntil 2009 hundreds of millions
  units.

System Reference Document TR 101 994-2 (GPR
WPR Radars)

• A TR 101 994-2 working draft is available and
  plan is to publish by September 2004.
• TR content includes
• Description of Ground Probing Radars, Wall
  Probing Radar, and reference to Through-Wall
  Probing Radar
• Operating principle Radar type signal, no
  communications, no standardized protocol
  required.
• Description of application range highway
  inspection, airport runway inspection, rail,
  humanitarian and military landmine detection,
  geophysical applications, archaeology,
• Market forecast small, limited to specialist and
  professional users. 5 000 to 10 000 units in ten
  years from now
