- the phase difference range is less than 1/6 less the superframe.
- each of the carriers # 1 to # 3 passes through a different transmission path, for example, the delay between the carriers may be large, and each of the carriers # 1 to # 3 has a half superframe or more. If it is shifted, the head of the frame cannot be detected and cannot be combined. Therefore, for example, as specified in the above-mentioned operation specification (JLabs @ SPEC-034), it is necessary for the receiving side to cope with up to 1/6 superframe delay.
- each carrier may be delayed and each carrier needs to be synchronized, and the receiving side must support a predetermined delay (for example, the receiving side must support up to 1/6 superframe delay depending on the operation specifications).
