FSKPHY Recommendation • To facilitate low power battery powered 802.15.4n devices for hospital sensor applications and other medical low power applications it is recommended that an FSKPHY is adopted. • Adoption of an FSKPHY would be in-line with current PHY amendments (802.15.4g & 802.15.4k) • This presentation proposes channel spacing, data rates and modulation indexes for 802.15.4n Andy Bottomley
Channel Spacing Proposal • Channel spacing of 500kHz to support data rates of up to 200kbps • Channel spacing of 500kHz to coexist with O-QPSK 2MHz channel spacing • Channel spacing of 500kHz with 2-FSK 200kbps to meet spurious requirements close to edge of Chinese Medical bands Andy Bottomley
Toughest Spurious Requirement Close to Band Edge • Level -54dBm/100kHz • Limits +/-2.5xOBW Example of Spurious Requirement with Proximity to 174-216MHz Band Andy Bottomley
20dB Occupied Bandwidth Simulation Results • The 20dB occupied bandwidth is required to predict where the edge of the spurious domain begins • Conditions: • 200kbps, 2-FSK • Modulation index = 1 • BT = 0.7 • RBW = 1kHz • SA detector = peak • OBW = 300kHz • Fits well into channel Andy Bottomley
BT filter 0.5 & 0.7 • RBW=100kHz • Spurious Power Simulation Results • Conditions: • Maximum TX power 10dBmERP • 200kbps, 2-FSK, modulation index 1 Gaussian filter BT = 0.5 Gaussian filter BT = 0.7 Andy Bottomley
Spurious Power Simulation Results • With a BT of 0.7 the skirts of the modulated signal are well within the -54dBm/100kHz requirement at the frequency offset of 2.5xOBW (edge of spurious domain) Gaussian filter BT = 0.7 Andy Bottomley
Implications for Synthesizer TX Phase Noise • A spurious requirement of -54dBm/100kHz is approximately -104dBm/Hz • The frequency offset of the spurious domain edge is ~300k x 2.5 = 750kHz • The wanted signal power =10dBm therefore phase noise has to be down at -114dBc/Hz at the spurious domain edge in order to meet the spurious requirement • Phase noise better than -114dBc/Hz is required @ 750kHz offset Andy Bottomley
Spurious Power Simulation Results with Phase Noise • Conditions • 1/f phase noise applied to simulations (10dB/decade) • Results • Phase noise better than -120dBc/Hz recommended @ 750kHz Phase noise -114dBc/Hz @ 750kHz Phase noise -120dBc/Hz @ 750kHz Andy Bottomley
Spurious Power Simulation Result Summary • The toughest spurious power requirement is -54dBm/100kHz (average power) at 2.5xOBW (20dB occupied bandwidth) from centre of channel at maximum TX power • The maximum regulatory fundamental radiated power is specified in ERP and spurious power is specified in conducted power. The simulations and spectral plots assume a 0dBd antenna is used such that the TX power of 10dBmERP is equivalent to a conducted power of 10dBm. • With a TX filter of BT=0.7, 200kbps 2-FSK and modulation index of 1 there is a comfortable margin when passing the spurious requirement (200kHz) • Maximum frequency offset allowed in band is 100ppm (regulatory requirement) which translates to 63kHz max at the highest RF frequency. This offset can easily be accommodated. • The 20dB occupied bandwidth is 300kHz with a BT of 0.7. This allows for a channel filter of ~400kHz Andy Bottomley
Eb/No Sweep of Modulation Index for 2-FSK 200kbps • Channel filter 3dB bandwidth = 400kHz • 3rd order Butterworth channel filter • BT = 0.7 • Eb/No = 10.4dB (with MI=1 & 0.1% BER) Andy Bottomley
Adjacent Channel & Alternate Channel Rejection Requirements • 802.15.4-2011 specifies 0dB & 24dB ACR & ALTCR using a modulated interferer • 802.15.4g-2012 specifies 10dB & 30dB ACR & ALTCR using a CW at centre of channel • Modulated interferer seems to be more appropriate to use as an interferer Andy Bottomley
ACR& ALTCRSimulation Results for 2-FSK200kbpsMode, 500kHzChannelization • BT = 0.7, modulation index = 1, 20dB occupied bandwidth = 300kHz, 3rd order Butterworth channel filter with fc = 400kHz • The modulated interferer is the same as for the wanted signal • Results indicate that meeting the modulated interferer requirement is not a problem. Plenty of margin exists. Andy Bottomley
Variable Data Rates • Lower data rates than 200kbps offer improved RX sensitivity: • If a 50kbps 2-FSK mode is considered and the same 20dB occupied bandwidth as for 200kbps is required then this would require a modulation index of 5. Andy Bottomley
Variable Data Rates • With a modulation index of 5 the Eb/No has degraded by 2.5dB worse than for a modulation index of 1. A modulation index of 1 appears to offer optimal Eb/No. Andy Bottomley
Variable Data Rates – Key assumption • The regulatory requirement for spurious emissions is only related to the maximum data rate mode. The following extract is taken from Rec. ITU-R SM.329-12: • With a constant modulation index and lower data rate the occupied bandwidth will drop commensurately. The edge of the spurious domain will draw closer to the wanted channel (2.5 x OBW). Under these conditions the phase noise requirement on the TX will become harder to meet. Andy Bottomley
Overall FSK PHY Proposal • 500kHz channelization to support 200kbps • Range of data rates 25kbps – 200kbps • TX Gaussian filter BT=0.7 • 2-FSK only Andy Bottomley
