Hi Ken/Chas, I forwarded your QA to a consultant friend of mine who specializes in wireless and co-existance, Dr. Robert Morrow. Here's his comments. 802.11b has a bandwidth of around 22 MHz, and the slower data rates of 1 and 2 Mb/s have some spread spectrum processing gain (about 10 dB)

[PSES] Spread Spectrum clocking and adverse WIFI effects

2013-08-30 Thread Grasso, Charles
Hello all, Spread spectrum clocking has a *wonderful* effect on radiated emissions especially DDR generated noise. My question is: Given the high degree of integration in today's products: Does anyone have concrete experiences of degraded WiFi performance as a result of using SSC? Best

Just some basic observations. In order for a dithered clock to solve a regulatory problem, the frequency shift must be greater than the measurement bandwidth. In order for the dithered clock to solve an EMI problem, the frequency shift must be larger than the potential victim¹s bandwidth. In an
