Key Properties of CSS

High robustness:Due to the high BT product and their asynchronous nature, chirp systems are very resistant against disturbances.

Multipath resistant:Due to the frequency spreading of chirp pulses, CSS is very immune against multipath fading; CSS can even take advantage of RF echoes.

Long range:Due to high system gain, as well as noise, interference and fading resistance, CSS has exceptional range for a given transmit power and conditions.

Location awareness:CSS gives the ability to determine the distance (range) between two stations.

Low power consumption:CSS allows the designer to choose a simple analog implementation, which often consumes much less power.

Low PHY latency:With CSS a wireless connection can be established very quickly because synchronizations on carrier frequency and data clock are not required.

Antenna position:Reception is possible with almost any antenna position due to the wide bandwidth.

Selection Criteria Document Overview3.1 Unit Manufacturing Cost/Complexity (UMC)

In the current implementations of CSS from Nanotron, Tx and Rx are approximately equal size. For 0.35 µm SiGe BiCMOS: the PHY portion of the chips are about 8 mm2. Newer chip designs using CMOS are underway.The receiver and transmitter in a CSS system can tolerate significant frequency offset without significant loss of processing gain. [1]

3.3 Signal RobustnessChirp uses time and frequency correlation to minimize non-desirable signals. Multipath and other RF is reduced by the processing gain. [2, 3]

Selection Criteria Document Overview

3.3.3 Coexistence–CSS’s power spectral density is lower than that for IEEE 802.15.4 O-QPSK for the same transmit power–Low IEEE 802.15.4 duty cycle enhances coexistence–Proposal’s packet duration is shorter than that of IEEE 802.15.4 due to the higher data rate–Proposal will include channelization to enhance coexistence via FDMA–Current Nanotron systems show low susceptibility to interferers; ~ -6 dB C/I

Selection Criteria Document Overview3.4 Technical Feasibility

Nanotron has working chips in customer pilots; additionally Nanotron has received ETSI approval for its CSS implementation and is pursuing US approval. The use of the 2.4 GHz ISM band allows this system to be immediately globally deployed.

3.5 ScalabilityNumerous scalability parameters such as channel bandwidth, coding method, data rate, transmit power levels, and pulse shape allow this system to be optimized to the applications

Selection Criteria Document Overview5.2 Size and Form Factor

Small size will result from high levels of integration. Nanotron has demonstrated that the CSS system can be fully integrated on an IC using either SiGe or CMOS processes.

5.3 PHY-SAP Payload Bit Rate and Data ThroughputAlthough Nanotron has demonstrated numerous data rates, Nanotron supports the 1 Mb/s which has been noted by TG4a to be a good higher data rate to allow better coexistance and lower energy consumption.

Selection Criteria Document Overview5.4 Simultaneously Operating Piconets (SOP)

There are numerous methods to achieve simultaneity; most significant are channelization (FDMA) and modulation/coding (CDMA). Nanotron will propose multiple channels to allow SOP in addition to its ability to use modulation/coding.

5.5 Signal AcquisitionShort signal acquisition time is a strength of this proposal. Signals will be acquired within the preamble (less than 32 µS) and will automatically track from then on.

Selection Criteria Document Overview5.6 System Performance

Another of CSS’s strengths is system performance; it has demonstrated superior performance in multipath and interfering environments [3]

5.7 RangingChirp modulation has been used in radars for many years, so the ranging aspects of chirps are very well understood and documented. Nanotron is confident that CSS will provide accuracy better than the 1 meter specified in the TRD.

Selection Criteria Document Overview5.8 Link Budget

The regulatory environment at 2.4 GHz allows CSS to be transmitted at levels from 10 to 30 dBm to allow for very high link margins. A link margin of 103 dB will result from a device with 10 dBm transmit power using the sensitivity specified in 5.9. At 30 meters the link margin would be 33 dB.

5.9 SensitivityNanotron has demonstrated CSS with sensitivities of -93 dBm at 1 Mb/s validating the theoretical Eb/No calculations of 9.8 dB.

Selection Criteria Document Overview

5.11 Power ConsumptionDue to its low gate count and higher data rate the energy consumption of CSS is predicted to be better than the current 15.4 systems being deployed.

5.12 Antenna PracticalityThe antennas for this 2.4 GHz proposal are small yet efficient, easy to manufacture, and can be bought off the shelf as proven by the millions of antennas for 802.11x, 802.15.x, and Bluetooth devices
