January 2005 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 dB bandwidth greater than 500 MHz Wisair suggest to change its proposal to reflect a 500 MHz BW for the signal. This can be done by the other proposals as well. Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 Margin to 3.1 and 4.9 The requirements on the margin to 3.1 and 4.9 is 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 Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 PLL implementation It is important that the first divisions in a PLL implementation will be small (preferably two division by 2) The frequency plan suggested by Wideband Access requires a first division by 5 for the 19.2 MHz XO Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 PRF flexibility Wisair’s proposal allows selection between: 11, 22, 33, 66 MHz while still allowing a first division by 4 The Wideband Access proposal allows a PRF of 13 if we use a first division by 4 or 26 if we use a first division by 2 followed by a second division by 67 (for the 3484). Higher PRFs can not be generated directly from the VCO Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)

January 2005 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 higher PRFs to allow taking the full advantage of FCC rules (even if we select a lower PRF as the base mode) Gadi Shor, Sorin Goldenberg (Wisair)
