Abstract

Proposed are a method and a device for receiving a PPDU in a wireless LAN system. Specifically, a reception STA receives a PPDU from a transmission STA through a broadband 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 broadband. In a case where the broadband is a 320 MHz band, the first STF sequence is a sequence including an M sequence and is defined as {M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 −M 1 M 0 −M 1 −M 0 M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 M −1 −M 0 M −1 M 0 −M 1 M 0 −M −M}*(1+j)/sqrt(2).
