January 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -05 -0242 -01 -004 a Bandwidth • As discussed in the past the BW of each sub-band does not have to be related to the separation between the center frequencies and is actually defined by the pulse shape • The only requirement comes from FCC and is to have a 10 d. B bandwidth greater than 500 MHz • Wisair suggest to change its proposal to require a 500 MHz BW for the signal. This can be implemented by the other proposals as well.

January 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -05 -0242 -01 -004 a Margin to 3. 1 and 4. 9 • The requirements on the margin to 3. 1 and 4. 9 are not equal from two reasons: – RF filter implementation with a given Q is frequency dependent therefore it is easier to filter the 3. 1 corner than the 4. 9 corner – The co-existence requirements to/from WLAN are tougher than FCC indoor/outdoor requirements, therefore more room should be given at the 4. 9 corner Submission 3 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -05 -0242 -01 -004 a PLL implementation • It is important that the first divisions in a PLL implementation will be small (preferably divisions by 2), up to about 1 GHz. • The frequency plan suggested by Wideband Access requires a first division by 5 for the 19. 2 MHz XO (lower frequency) • The frequency of the comparator should be high enough to track phase noise (1 MHz) Submission 4 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -05 -0242 -01 -004 a PRF flexibility • Wisair’s proposal allows selection between: 11, 22, 33, 66 MHz while allowing a first division by 4 Submission 5 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 doc. : IEEE 802. 15 -05 -0242 -01 -004 a PRF and peak power • The estimation provided so far does not take into account losses between the component and the antenna: – Internal/external filter, – Packaging – Routing • It is important to support high PRFs to allow taking the full advantage of FCC rules (even if we select a lower PRF as the base mode) Submission 6 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)
