Section 2: Assessment Information


2.1 General
This report contains an assessment of an apparatus against Electromagnetic Compatibility Standards based upon tests
carried out on the samples submitted. The testing was performed by and for the use of Cisco systems Inc:


With regard to this assessment, the following points should be noted:


a)        The results contained in this report relate only to the items tested and were obtained in the period between the
          date of the initial assessment and the date of issue of the report. Manufactured products will not necessarily
          give identical results due to production and measurement tolerances.
b)        The apparatus was set up and exercised using the configuration and modes of operation defined in this report
          only.
c)        Where relevant, the apparatus was only assessed using the susceptibility criteria defined in this report and the
          Test Assessment Plan (TAP).
d)        All testing was performed under the following environmental conditions:
          Temperature                15°C to 35°C (54°F to 95°F)
          Atmospheric Pressure       860mbar to 1060mbar (25.4" to 31.3")
          Humidity                   10% to 75*%

e)        All AC testing was performed at one or more of the following supply voltages:
          110V 60 Hz (+/-20%)



Units of Measurement


The units of measurements defined in the appendices are reported in specific terms, which are test dependent. Where
radiated measurements are concerned these are defined at a particular distance. Basic voltage measurements are
defined in units of [dBuV]
As an example, the basic calculation for all measurements is as follows:
          Emission level [dBuV] = Indicated voltage level [dBuV] + Cable Loss [dB] + Other correction factors [dB]
The combinations of correction factors are dependent upon the exact test configurations [see test equipment lists for
further details] and may include:-
          Antenna Factors, Pre Amplifier Gain, LISN Loss, Pulse Limiter Loss and Filter Insertion Loss..
Note: to convert the results from dBuV/m to uV/m use the following formula:-
          Level in uV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(X dBuV/m)/20] = Y uV/m

  1.   The maximum EIRP of the 5GHz equipment is 29 dBm, and the minimum possible EIRP is 10 dBm.

       Below are the available 50 ohm antenna assemblies and their corresponding gains. 0dBi gain was used to set
       the -63 dBm threshold level (-64dBm +1 dB) during calibration of the test setup.

  2.   System testing was performed with IPERF traffic that streams continuously at a loading of 17% from the Master
       to the Client IP based system.

  3.   The Master requires 149.1s seconds to complete its power-on cycle.

  4.   Information regarding the parameters of the detected Radar Waveforms is not available to the end user.

  5.   For the 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz bands, 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.

       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 v02r01.

       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 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.
       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.

      The parameters for this waveform are randomly chosen. Thirty unique waveforms are required for the Long
      Pulse radar test signal. If more than 30 waveforms are used for the Long Pulse radar test signal, then each
      additional waveform must also be unique and not repeated from the previous waveforms.

      Each waveform is defined as follows:

      1)    The transmission period for the Long Pulse Radar test signal is 12 seconds.
      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. Each pulse within a transmission period will have the
            same chirp width. 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 start time for each Burst is
            chosen randomly.

      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.

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. The spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth (RBW) and
video bandwidth (VBW) were set to 3 MHz.
The signal generator amplitude was set so that the power level measured at the spectrum analyzer was -63dBm.
