The question has been raised as to if the TCTF loading requirement implied in SAS 1.1 has been lost regarding the transmitter OOB signal level. Please refer to Table 66 — Transmitter device OOB signal output characteristics and Table 67 — OOB delivered signal characteristics in sections 5.3.6.6 Transmitter device signal output for OOB signals and 5.3.7.2 OOB delivered signal characteristics, respectively. Should 5.3.7.2 be moved to the transmitter section? Should test loads be called out for testing the OOB amplitude? Is everything okay like it is?

Please prepare to discuss on 7/15.
