RF Design Report

As with any good effort, the results need to be documented and communicated
to the respective parts of the wireless organization. The following is a
proposed guideline that can be used to help construct such a report. The
report is not inclusive of the circuit-switched and packet-fixed networks; it
just applies to the RF portion of the system.

Cover Sheet
This is the cover sheet for the report and should include the following items:
■ The system it is meant for (such as “New York Metro”)
■ Date of issuance (7/1/2001)
■ Revision number
■ Who or which group issued the report
■ Confidentiality statement (this should be on every page of the
document, usually in the footer)

Executive Summary
This is a one- or two-page summary that includes the findings from the
report and is meant to serve as a base from which most management decisions
are made.

Revision
This is meant to document which version of the report this particular version
is. The sign-off section that is included is meant to ensure that the version
that is under scrutiny is the current one and has undergone a design
review.
The format of the revision page should be as follows:
Date Originator Reviewed by Comments Rev. Number

Table of Contents
The Table of Contents section is meant to serve as a simple reference point
so that anyone picking the package up can quickly find a particular section
without having to read the whole document.
The suggested format for the Table of Contents is shown here:
■ Page
■ Introduction
■ Revision
