Average Output Power Engineer: Poona Saber Test Date: 1/3/2018 Test Requirements For the band 5.725-5.85 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W. If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the maximum conducted output power shall be reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. However, fixed point- to-point U-NII devices operating in this band may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without any corresponding reduction in transmitter conducted power. Fixed, point-to-point operations exclude the use of point-to-multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and multiple collocated transmitters transmitting the same information. The operator of the U-NII device, or if the equipment is professionally installed, the installer, is responsible for ensuring that systems employing high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for fixed, point-to-point operations. Based on KDB 662911 D02 for Cross polarized antenna power was first measured radiated and the total emission was derived from below steps (1) Measured radiated emissions with vertical and horizontal polarizations of the measurement antenna (2) Converted each radiated measurement to transmit power or PSD based on the antenna gain (3) Summed the powers or PSDs across the two polarizations Test Procedure Testing was done Radiated at 1 meters distance from EUT in anechoic chamber and the position of the EUT and antenna was maximized to get the highest power reading out of the unit.

Transmitter Power Spectral Density Engineer: Poona Saber Test Date: 1/4/2018 Test Requirements For the band 5.725-5.85 GHz, the maximum power spectral density shall not exceed 30 dBm in any 500 kHz band. If transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the maximum power spectral density shall be reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. However, fixed point-to-point U-NII devices operating in this band may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without any corresponding reduction in power spectral density.

Undesirable Emissions Engineer: Poona Saber Test Date: 1/5/2018 Test Requirements Unwanted Emissions that fall Outside Restricted Bands For transmitters operating in the 5.725-5.85 GHz band: All emissions shall be limited to a level of −27 dBm/MHz at 75 MHz or more above or below the band edge increasing linearly to 10 dBm/MHz at 25 MHz above or below the band edge, and from 25 MHz above or below the band edge increasing linearly to a level of 15.6 dBm/MHz at 5 MHz above or below the band edge, and from 5 MHz above or below the band edge increasing linearly to a level of 27 dBm/MHz at the band edge. The emission measurements shall be performed using a minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. A lower resolution bandwidth may be employed near the band edge, when necessary, provided the measured energy is integrated to show the total power over 1 MHz The provisions of §15.205 apply to intentional radiators operating under this section. Unwanted emissions below 1 GHz must comply with the general field strength limits set forth in §15.209. In addition the requirements of §15.205 were also applied.

Test Procedure The EUT was setup in accordance with ANSI C63.10. 2013 and tested per KDB 789033. The EUT is placed on non- conductive platform at a height of 0.8 meters above the ground plane and 3 meters away from receiving antenna in the semi-anechoic chambers. The EUT was rotated 360 degrees and the receive antenna raised and lowered to find the maximum emissions from 30MHz to the 10th harmonic of the fundamental. The EUT was set to the maximum power level allowed and the low, mid, and high channels were investigated for emissions. The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following for emissions > 1000MHz: a. (RBW = 1 MHz b. VBW ≥ 3 MHz c. Detector = Peak. d. Sweep time = auto. e. Trace mode = max hold. 1. Note: For emissions where the peak exceeded that of the average 15.209 emission limit the following was performed. f. RBW = 1 MHz g. VBW ≤ RBW/100 (i.e., 10 kHz) but not less than 10Hz For emissions below 1000MHz the Spectrum Analyzer settings were as follows: a. RBW = 100 kHz b. VBW ≥ 300 kHz c. Detector = Peak. d. Sweep time = auto. e. Trace mode = max hold. 1. Note: A quasi peak detector was used for emissions where the peak exceeded that of the average 15.209 emission limits Test Setup below 1000MHz EUT Antenna with Spectrum Preamp Analyzer Test Setup above 1000MHz Band EUT Antenna Amplifier Spectrum Reject Filter Analyzer Test Results: See Annex A: Undesirable Emission Radiated Note: All the emissions up to 5th harmonic of the fundamental were investigated and there was nothing observed above noise floor after 18GHz p17c0012_FCC_Part 15.407_UNII-3_Rev 4.0 Page 15 of 21

Occupied Bandwidth Engineer: Poona Saber Test Date: 1/4/2018 Test Requirement Within the 5.725-5.85 GHz band, the minimum 6 dB bandwidth of U-NII devices shall be at least 500 kHz. For purposes of this subpart the emission bandwidth shall be determined by measuring the width of the signal between two points, one below the carrier center frequency and one above the carrier center frequency, that are 6 dB down relative to the maximum level of the modulated carrier. Determination of the emissions bandwidth is based on the use of measurement instrumentation employing a peak detector function with an instrument resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0 percent of the emission bandwidth of the device under measurement For industry Canada the Occupied bandwidth will be the 99% emission bandwidth in megahertz. Test Procedure The Spectrum analyzer was set to the following parameters a. RBW = 100 kHz. b. VBW ≥ 300 kHz c. Detector = Peak. d. Trace mode = max hold.

RF Exposure Engineer: Poona Saber Test Date: 1/15/2018 Requirements U-NII devices are subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in §1.1307(b), §2.1091 and §2.1093 of this chapter, as appropriate. All equipment shall be considered to operate in a “general population/uncontrolled” environment. Applications for equipment authorization of devices operating under this section must contain a statement confirming compliance with these requirements for both fundamental emissions and unwanted emissions. In addition, systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that insures that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines. Exposure Limits At operating frequencies less than or equal to 6 GHz, the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) shall be used to evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation as specified in Section 1.1307(b), except for portable devices as defined in §2.1093 as these evaluations shall be performed according to the SAR provisions in §2.1093 of this chapter.
