        the power spectra density requirement
         Note 1: This is the level at the input of the receiver assuming a 0 dBi receive antenna.
         Note 2: 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.
         Note3: EIRP is based on the highest antenna gain. For MIMO devices refer to KDB Publication 662911
               D01.

        Note 1: Channel Move Time and the Channel Closing Transmission Time should be performed with
              Radar Type 0. The measurement timing begins at the end of the Radar Type 0 burst.
        Note 2: The Channel Closing Transmission Time is comprised of 200 milliseconds starting at the
              beginning of the Channel Move Time plus any additional intermittent control signals required
              facilitating a Channel move (an aggregate of 60 milliseconds) during the remainder of the 10
              second period. The aggregate duration of control signals will not count quiet periods in between
              transmissions.
        Note 3: During the U-NII Detection Bandwidth detection test, radar type 0 should be used. For each
              frequency step the minimum percentage of detection is 90 percent. Measurements are
              performed with no data traffic.

  2) There are a total of 8 to 20 Bursts in the 12 second period, with the number of Bursts being randomly chosen.
    This number is Burst Count.
  3) Each Burst consists of 1 to 3 pulses, with the number of pulses being randomly chosen. Each Burst within the 12
    second sequence may have a different number of pulses.
  4) The pulse width is between 50 and 100 microseconds, with the pulse width being randomly chosen. Each pulse
    within a Burst will have the same pulse width. Pulses in different Bursts may have different pulse widths.
  5) Each pulse has a linear FM chirp between 5 and 20 MHz, with the chirp width being randomly chosen. Each
    pulse within a Burst will have the same chirp width. Pulses in different Bursts may have different chirp widths.
    The chirp is centered on the pulse. For example, with a radar frequency of 5300 MHz and a 20 MHz chirped
    signal, the chirp starts at 5290 MHz and ends at 5310 MHz
  6) If more than one pulse is present in a Burst, the time between the pulses will be between 1000 and 2000
    microseconds, with the time being randomly chosen. If three pulses are present in a Burst, the time between
    the first and second pulses is chosen independently of the time between the second and third pulses.
  7) The 12 second transmission period is divided into even intervals. The number of intervals is equal to Burst
    Count. Each interval is of length (12,000,000 / Burst Count) microseconds. Each interval contains one Burst. The
    start time for the Burst, relative to the beginning of the interval, is between 1 and [(12,000,000 / Burst Count) –
    (Total Burst Length) + (One Random PRI Interval)] microseconds, with the start time being randomly chosen.
    The step interval for the start time is 1 microsecond. The s9tart time for each Burst is chosen independently.



  A representative example of a Long Pulse radar test waveform:

  1) The total test signal length is 12 seconds.
  2) 8 Bursts are randomly generated for the Burst Count.
  3) Burst 1 has 2 randomly generated pulses.
  4) The pulse width (for both pulses) is randomly selected to be 75 microseconds.
  5) The PRI is randomly selected to be at 1213 microseconds.
  6) Bursts 2 through 8 are generated using steps 3 – 5.
  7) Each Burst is contained in even intervals of 1,500,000 microseconds. The starting location for Pulse 1, Burst 1 is
    randomly generated (1 to 1,500,000 minus the total Burst 1 length + 1 random PRI interval) at the 325,001
    microsecond step. Bursts 2 through 8 randomly fall in successive 1,500,000 microsecond intervals (i.e. Burst 2
    falls in the 1,500,001 – 3,000,000 microsecond range).

  For the Frequency Hopping Radar Type, the same Burst parameters are used for each waveform. The hopping
  sequence is different for each waveform and a 100-length segment is selected 1 from the hopping sequence
  defined by the following algorithm:

  The first frequency in a hopping sequence is selected randomly from the group of 475 integer frequencies from
  5250 – 5724 MHz. Next, the frequency that was just chosen is removed from the group and a frequency is
  randomly selected from the remaining 474 frequencies in the group. This process continues until all 475
  frequencies are chosen for the set. For selection of a random frequency, the frequencies remaining within the
  group are always treated as equally likely.

7.2   Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Applicability
7.2.1 Requirement
      A U-NII network will employ a DFS function to detect signals from radar systems and to avoid co-channel
      operation with these systems. This applies to the 5250-5350 MHz and/or 5470-5725 MHz bands.1

      Within the context of the operation of the DFS function, a U-NII device will operate in either Master Mode or
      Client Mode. U-NII devices operating in Client Mode can only operate in a network controlled by a UNII device
      operating in Master Mode.

      Following tables shown below summarize the DFS testing applicability.

                            Applicability of DFS requirements during normal operation




7.2.2 Conclusion

        EUT is client device without radar detection function. Only the Channel Closing Transmission Time and
        Channel Move time testing are required. The testing shall be done using the widest BW mode.

7.3   Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Testing
7.3.1 Requirement
       Channel Closing Transmission Time
       The Channel Closing Transmission Time is comprised of 200 milliseconds starting at the
       beginning of the Channel Move Time plus any additional intermittent control signals required to
       facilitate a Channel move (an aggregate of 60 milliseconds) during the remainder of the 10 second
       period. The aggregate duration of control signals will not count quiet periods in between transmissions.

       The channel closing transmission time shall be less than (200 milliseconds + an aggregate of 60 milliseconds)
       over remaining 10 second period


       Channel Move Time
       After a radar's presence is detected, all transmissions shall cease on the operating channel within 10 seconds.
       Transmissions during this period shall consist of normal traffic for a maximum of 200 ms after detection of
       the radar signal. In addition, intermittent management and control signals can be sent during the remaining
       time to facilitate vacating the operating channel.



7.3.2 Radar Waveform Calibration

       The following equipment setup was used to calibrate the conducted Radar Waveform. A spectrum analyzer
       was used to establish the test signal level for each radar type. During this process there were no
       transmissions by either the Master or Client Device. The spectrum analyzer was switched to the zero span
       (Time Domain) mode at the frequency of the Radar Waveform generator. Peak detection was utilized.

7.3.3 DFS Test Procedure

    In-Service Monitoring for Channel Move Time, Channel Closing Transmission Time and Non-Occupancy Period
    These tests define how the following DFS parameters are verified during In-Service Monitoring; Channel Closing
    Transmission Time, Channel Move Time, and Non-Occupancy Period.

    The steps below define the procedure to determine the above mentioned parameters when a radar Burst with
    a level equal to the DFS Detection Threshold + 1dB is generated on the Operating Channel of the U-NII device.

    UUT operating as a Client Device will associate with the (Master) at Mid Channel. DFS testing while the System
    testing was performed with the designated MPEG test file that streams full motion video at 30 frames per
    second from the Master to the Client IP based system

    At time T0 the Radar Waveform generator sends a Burst of pulses for each of the radar types.

    Observe the transmissions of the UUT at the end of the radar Burst on the Operating Channel for duration
    greater than 10 seconds. Measure and record the transmissions from the UUT during the observation time
    (Channel Move Time). Compare the Channel Move Time and Channel Closing Transmission Time results to the
    limits defined in the DFS Response requirement values table.


    Channel Closing Transmission Time- Measurement

    A type 1 waveform was introduced to the EUT and the Spectrum Analyzer sweep time was set to 1s for
    monitoring and capturing the plot. A LabVIEW program was created to collect trace data and capturing the plot.
    The program will calculate the channel closing time base on the spectrum analyzer result. The result will be
    calculated based on FCC procedure.

              C= N*Dwell

    C is the closing time, N is the number of spectrum analyzer sampling bins showing a U-NII transmission and
    dwell is the dwell time per bin.

              Dwell= S/B

    Where Dwell is the dwell time per spectrum analyzer sampling bin, S is the sweep time and B is the number 0f
    spectrum analyzer sampling bins.

7.3.4 DFS Test Setup

       Test Setup Block Diagram




       The radio was set at the center channel frequency of tested Channel.
       A FCC approved Master device – (FCC ID: Q87-EA8300) AP was used to link with DUT device.

       The master device provides, on aggregate, uniform loading of the spectrum across all devices by selecting an
       operating channel among the available channels using a random algorithm.

       The rated output power of the Master unit is > 23 dBm (EIRP). Therefore, the required interference
       threshold is – 64 dBm. After correction for procedural adjustment, the required radiated threshold at the
       antenna port is -64 + 1 = -63 dBm.

       The calibrated radiated DFS detection threshold level is set to -64 dBm. The tested level is lower than the
       required level hence it provides margining to the limit.
