Re: TG4A Call for contributions, Jason Ellis, August 2004
Abstract: The proposed PHY is ternary amplitude modulation transmitted double sideband suppressed carrier with partial response pulse shaping. The demodulation process does not use or need synchronization of a local oscillator with the transmitter. The side lobes are at least 30 dB down at the defined channel bandwidth continuing to decrease down to 50 dB.
Purpose: This proposal is a candidate for entry into the down-selection process for the TG4A]

Summary of Desired Properties
An uncommon digital modulation technique is recommended for short-reach, scalable data rate personal area as an alternative to widely used GMSK, BPSK, DPSK and OQPSK modulations. The targeted applications are those requiring a combination of properties which include:
high like-signal interference resistance to enable extensive frequency reuse over a large area,
low sidelobe levels to enable better use of adjacent channels and
the flexibility to trade off channel coding schemes and occupied bandwidth for the best fit to the specific application

Summary of Proposal
The recommended baseband modulation is amplitude modulated ternary (three amplitude levels) DSB-SC (double-sideband suppressed carrier) with partial response type pulse shaping.
The specific unit-pulse shape (now referred to as “Sym-pulse”) used provides minimized use of low frequencies with zero dc component and low levels of side lobes.

Advantage Summary A
Zero dc and reduced low frequency energy density below 10% of the high edge frequency of the power density spectrum enables baseband amplification with video rather than dc amplifiers.
Independence of rf phase/frequency at demodulation: 1) great tolerance to motion of the user station2) decreased susceptibility to phase reversal errors with frequency dependent time domain fades.
Low adjacent channel and second channel emissions are the result of using the right pulse shape in the first place, rather than filtering a high side lobe signal.

Advantage Summary B
Copper pairs can transport the baseband waveform large distances without equalization.
Overhead time used for acquisition is greatly reduced by the absence of the need for rf synchronization.
Twice the average power allowed for BPSK may be used with the specified channel coding. Half the bits are 0's transmitted at zero amplitude creating a 50% duty cycle.

The Unit Pulse
The unit pulse defines the spectral characteristics. A number of concatenated, overlapping pulse make up the bit stream. The composite stream has about the same spectrum as the unit pulse.
The length of the space between zero crossings at the center is equal to one bit. The unit pulse may be upright or inverted or zero.

The Value of Phase/frequencyIndependent AM Modulation
A typical room coverage appears to contain coverage holes due to cancellation of the predominant path rays. When a cancellation fade is traversed in time frequency or space, the rf phase is usually reversed between entering and leaving. While increased transmitter power will moderately decrease the hole size, it rarely will make the hole disappear.
An rf phase reversal can shake loose a PLL which will then take many bit times to recover causing a “hit” type data error. A similar difficult can exist in a mathematical de-rotator.
When a cancellation null is encountered, there may be a substantial recovery time if PLL loops are use to recover virtual carrier (e.g., Costas loop). This difficult can be overcome by using differential QPSK where the phase reference for the current pulse is the preceding pulse. Since the reference has the same noise as the signal there is a small loss S/N threshold, but many have thought it worthwhile for the reduction in size of hit errors.

Frequency Independent Amplitude Demodulation (1)
The amplitude detector is based on using an vector (I-Q) demodulator which may be at an intermediate or signal frequency. The output processing is based on the identity:
sin²(θ)+cos²(θ) = 1
The I and Q outputs are separately squared and the two results summed to obtain a phase-independent measure of the signal amplitude. The squaring operation yields a single positive output for either phase in the source signal, and it provides an amplitude indication proportional to signal power and independent of phase angle.

Frequency Independent Amplitude Demodulation (2)
The data demodulator assumes use of an approximate AGC which is set at the start of the burst preamble and refreshed during the message. A second forward acting level compensator sets the threshold in relation to the peak signal level. The threshold is set at about 70% of the reference level for a comparator device which at sampling time determines the level to be above or below threshold.
There is an integrate-and-dump circuit which sums the areas of the central half of the incoming bit-pulse. The integration capacitor is sampled at the end of the charge interval and it is discharged during the non-integrate interval.
The block diagram of this type of demodulator appears in the radio block diagram of Figure 8. This block diagram has been simulated end-to-antenna-path-antenna-to-end in same simulator as used for Figure 5.

Closing Summary (1)We propose that the TG4A committee accept Ternary AM DSB-SC with partial response pulse shaping as a candidate for the opening PHY layer selection.
Anyone can propose, but only a majority constituency can select. Any opening recommendation is likely to be substantially modified before it is acceptable for incorporation in the standards document.
If selected, we will do everything necessary to enable a multi-vendor environment according to IEEE Standards Rules.
We plan to build a small number of technology demonstrator’s which are now being designed. These could be available for independent verification of properties in December 2004 or soon after.

Closing Summary (2)
This proposal offers a competent function, implemented with smallest and simplest circuit function. It is one of the best for:
transmitter power utilization
resistance to like and foreign signal interference
minimal out-of-band side lobe levels
resistance to errors from multipath including moving reflectors (one of only a few modulations with this property)
accurate transmission without forward error correction
fast and simple clock acquisition
