Abstract

Proposed are a method and device for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives the PPDU from a transmission STA through a wideband and decodes the PPDU. The PPDU includes an STF signal. The STF signal is generated on the basis of a first STF sequence for the wideband. When the wideband is a 320 MHz band, the first STF sequence is a sequence including a M sequence and is defined as {M −1 M −1 −M −1 M 0 −M 1 M 1 −M 1 −M 0 M −1 M −1 −M −1 M 0 −M 1 M 1 −M 1 −M 0 −M 1 −M 1 M 1 −M 0 M −1 −M −1 M −1 M 0 −M 1 −M 1 M 1 −M 0 M −1 −M −1 M −1 M}*(1+j)/sqrt(2).
