1 Remarks.
1.1 Applied standards.
The 7260NGW, brand Intel, model 7260NGW, has been tested in conformity with parts of the standard:


        FCC part 15 (10-1-12 Edition) section 15.407

The uncertainty figures have been calculated in accordance with the methods as described in the ETR 100-028-1
and ETR 100-028-2. The expansion factor used is 1.96, which provides a confidence level of 95% (Gaussian).


1.2 Description of the EUT.
The brand Intel model 7260NGW, hereafter referred to as EUT, is a PCIe small form factor IEEE 802.11a/b/g/n/ac
+ Bluetooth wireless network adapter module. The module will support MIMO (2x2) for 802.11n/ac modes and
MISO (1x2) for 802.11a/b/g modes and utilizes DSSS and OFDM modulation techniques. Bluetooth operates with
basic, EDR and BLE modes as SISO (1x1). When Bluetooth is operational wifi operates as SISO (1x1).

The module is sold under two different FCC ID numbers under the same model number (see table below). The
FCC ID ending in “U” is intended to allow user installation conditions and host systems must be provided with a
BiOS locking feature to provide mutual authentication between module and host devices.

2 Test conditions.

2.1 General.
The purpose of this test is to check the channel shutdown and the channel move time for slave devices, comparing
with the limits of the applied standard. The EUT is configured as slave device. The Cisco Aironet IOS access point
is configured as master device and has a build in radar signal detection mechanism for the 5 GHz frequency band.
The block diagram of the test setup is shown below.

A wireless connection between the EUT and the access point is established. Via the video application a
continuously video stream has been sent to the EUT to transfer data. The input level of the DFS tester is adjusted
so that it only measures the transmit levels and times of the radio signal of the EUT. The spectrum is set into zero
span mode to monitor the broadcasts of the EUT in time domain.

A radar signal of 18 pulses with a pulse width of 1 µs and a pulse repetition frequency of 700 pps, will be
broadcasted. The Access point detects the radar signal and instructs the EUT to stop transmitting on current radio
channel and move to another channel. The time of stopping the broadcast on the current radio channel and
moving to another channel, will be measured with the DFS tester. The DFS tester control software displays the
measured values.

4.4 Non-Occupancy Period.
Part 15.407(iv) states: Non-occupancy period. A channel that has been flagged as containing a radar system,
either by a channel availability check or in-service monitoring, is subject to a non-occupancy period of at least 30
minutes. The non-occupancy period starts at the time when the radar system is detected.
The EUT fulfils this requirements, see section 6.3.


4.5 Uniform Spreading.
Not applicable, the EUT is a slave device without radar detection.
Therefore the Uniform Spreading is not required.


4.6 Medium Access Protocol
A medium access protocol is implemented in the equipment and is active under all circumstances.

4.6.1    Requirements (clause 4.8.2).

A medium access protocol shall be implemented by the equipment and shall be active under all circumstances.


4.7 User Access Restrictions
DFS controls (hardware and software) related to radar detection are not accessible to the user.
