Explore milestones in FCC rule changes for frequency hopping systems, including WBFH and DSSS testing, with insights from Jim Zyren of Intersil. Learn about jammer tests, system calculations, ETSI rules, and broadband enablement.
E N D
Milestones • HomeRF Letter to FCC (11/98) • NPRM Released (6/99) • Close of Comment Period (10/4/99) • Close of Reply Comments (11/19/99) • Ex parte Comments on-going • Main Issues • Wide Band Frequency Hopping (WBFH) • DSSS Processing Gain Test Jim Zyren, Intersil
Processing Gain • FCC Proposed Rule Change • CW Jammer Test • FCC proposes to retain current CW jammer test • Would impose separate calculation for systems having less than 10 chips/bit • IEEE 802.11 has reviewed and indicated support for this change • Gaussian Jammer Test • FCC proposes to use Gaussian noise test as an alternative to CW jammer test • IEEE 802.11 has indicated that the proposal is unclear • Parameters of test must be clarified or abuse will result Jim Zyren, Intersil

Kodak “ETSI” Proposal Jim Zyren, Intersil
Issues • Committee for Unlicensed Broadband Enablement • CUBE indicates flexibility on hop rate issue (10/19/99) • CUBE explicitly opposes adoption of ETSI rules for non-overlapping channels (2/23/00) • Is it Kodak’s intention that ETSI rules would apply to FHSS systems only, or both FHSS and DSSS • seems to be different interpretations of Kodak submission • can Kodak clarify?
