Re: [WISPA] White Spaces Mapping Tool

2008-11-19 Thread Mike Hammett
Further information on this is that for fixed devices, a 30 dB transmit 
power into the antenna with a 6 dBi antenna.  Every 1 dB decrease in 
transmit power results in a 1 dB increase in antenna gain...  so for the 
largest practical antenna I can think of...  26 dB transmitter, 10 dB 
antenna.  I believe Blair Davis provided a copy of a spec sheet for a 14 dB 
gain antenna (so only 22 dB transmitter) that appears to be roughly 4'.  It 
has an awfully small wind resistance, however, so you shouldn't need as 
strong of mounting as you would think.  16.52 pounds at 100 mph, while a 24 
dBi RooTenna has 77.8 pounds and is significantly smaller in physical 
dimension.

Enough of that rambling...

Personal portable devices are 100 mW transmitter with 6 dBi antenna for 
maximum EIRP of 400 mW.  This goes quite a ways in 2.4 outdoors, so 
hopefully we can deal with that.

100 mW transmitter with 6 dBi antenna

That was a surprise. I was expecting 100mw EIRP.

That might make the margin between Fixed and Personal Portible a bit close.
36db (4 watt) -26db (400mw) = 10 db. Thats about the average SNR margin 
required for most DSSS radio (PS I know, Canopy 3db C/I)
It allows Fixed to survive on a 1 on 1 comparision, but not sure how Fixed 
will stand up to large number of portable devices in agreegate.

Leaving room for that omni on top, also encourages use for the spectrum as a 
short range outdoor relay system  I can see these being used for muni 
networks, for the self install CPE, even at 400mw.   My take on this is 
personal portable will not just be personal portable with the addition of 
the 6db omni allowance.

What I really see happening now is runaway theft of service.  It will now be 
so much easier, to share your neighbors cable/DSL line.

The flip side is... 400mw EIRP, starts to bring it to the level WISPs could 
use it also for short term relays.

Is the 6db antenna also allowed on the 40mw transmitter for adjacenet 
channels?

If so, that might actually be a blessing in disguise, to enalbe WISPs to 
take advantage of adjacent channels, for some application. 18db EIRP might 
be enough for some applications.
Non-Adjacent channels for 4watt Sector distribution, and Adjacent channels 
for very short range distribution.

What type link do you think we might be able to pull off at 18db EIRP 
Whitespace, in clear spectrum?

 dB
 gain antenna (so only 22 dB transmitter) that appears to be roughly 4'.
 It
 has an awfully small wind resistance, however, so you shouldn't need as
 strong of mounting as you would think.  16.52 pounds at 100 mph, while a
 24
 dBi RooTenna has 77.8 pounds and is significantly smaller in physical
 dimension.

 Enough of that rambling...

 Personal portable devices are 100 mW transmitter with 6 dBi antenna for
 maximum EIRP of 400 mW.  This goes quite a ways in 2.4 outdoors, so
 hopefully we can deal with that.

 Channels 3, 4, and 37 are excluded no matter what.

 Fixed users cannot use an adjacent channel (at this time) and are
 permitted
 between 2 and 51, with a power limit of 4 watts EIRP.

 Personal portable users are restricted to channels 21 - 51.  100 mw of
 power, but are to use 40 mw on channels adjacent to licensed users.

 As far as I know, the white spaces will only be channels 21-51 
 excluding
 channel 37. That's why they aren't included in the file. I could be
 wrong
 on
 that but seems like I pulled that from some document somewhere. That 
 was
 prior to the ruling. If you find information to the contrary I'll 
 update
 the
 tool.

 When I looked at teh tool, it showed channels 20-52.
 Do you have mapping for channels 2-19?

I have had several requests to send the free Google Earth tool I 
created
to
 show the TV white Spaces available for any given area in the US. I 
 have
 posted a copy of the file on my web site. Scroll down the home page to
 the
 area just above the sample maps. There you will find the link to the
 file
 and an explanation for how to use the tool.


 Thank You,
