Frequency
Frequency This is the operating frequency of the
WiMAX radio interface. Frequency
range limits can be affected by
bandwidth selection.
1815, 3662.5, or 5800 MHz
1800 to 1830
(1800 models)
3651.75 to 3670
(3650 models)

(5800 models)
RF Bandwidth This is the operating bandwidth of the
WiMAX radio interface.
3.5 MHz
3.5, 5, 7, 8.75, 10
Frame Profile The Frame Profile controls the amount
of time allocated to the downlink and
uplink portions of the WiMAX frame. To
operate in a WiMAX compatible mode,
choose one of the specific profiles for
the chosen RF bandwidth. The Frame
Profile can also be set to None. When
set to None, the user can set a specific
percentage for the downlink sub-frame.
None
None,
3.5 MHz-21-12,
5 MHZ-29-18,
5 MHz-30-17,
5 MHz-32-15,
7 MHz-21-12,

10 MHz-26-21,
10 MHz-29-18,
10 MHz-32-15,
10 MHz-35-12
Downlink
Percentage
The percentage of the frame to be
used for the Downlink subframe. This
parameter only applies when the
Frame Profile is set to None

TDD SyncMode Specifies if GPS timing
synchronization is required to downlink
transmission.
