                                                                                            -64
      do not meet the power spectral density requirement
   Note      : This is the level at the input of the receiver assuming a 0 dBi receive antenna.
               Throughout these test procedures an additional 1 dB has been added to the amplitude of the test
                transmission waveforms to account for variations in measurement equipment. This will ensure that the
                test signal is at or above the detection threshold level to trigger a DFS response.
               EIRP is based on the highest antenna gain. For MIMO devices refer to KDB Publication 662911 D01.

4. Method of Calculation
4.1.    Channel Move Time, Channel Closing Transmit Time, Non-occupancy Period

Method of calculation                            : Software
Software Name                                    : SW-0304
Software Version                                 : Ver.3

Channel Closing Transmission Time
Dwell [ msec ]       = S [ msec ] / B [ point ]
Tested Time [ msec ] = N [ point ] * Dwell [ msec ]

Note    (a)     Dwell                 : Dwell time per spectrum analyzer sampling bin.
        (b)     S                     : Sweep time settings on the spectrum analyzer.
        (c)     B                     : Number of spectrum analyzer sampling bins.
        (d)     N                     : Number of spectrum analyzer sampling bins showing a U-NII transmission.
