Hereafter is a list of questions related to PRF selection in relation with proposed bandplans and modulations Mandatory PRF « MPRF » –What is the MPRF (on the mandatory sub band)? –What is inside the MPRP (1 pulse, 1 chip) ? Any specificity for preamble? –Relation between MPRF and pulse Peak to peak Voltage –MPRF versus inter pulse interference –Data rate (payload) for MPRF (and which relation between bit /symbol, pulse/chip, and pulse/chip compression 1 ) -reminder : must be demodulated by Non Coherent RX- –…

Same Chip per PRP? –does PRF depend on the subband (3.1 -4.9 GHz)? –PRF still valid for higher bands (above 6 GHz) ? –… PRF versus Ranging Any foreseen deviation from the ABCD merger chart ?

Call, process, (pre) decisions –Joint discussions between sub groups, with other groups
