                      Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) Test Results

15.407: U-NII devices operating in the 5.25-5.35 GHz band and the 5.47-5.725 GHz band shall employ a
        TPC mechanism. The U-NII device is required to have the capability to operate at least 6 dB below
        the mean EIRP value of 30 dBm. A TPC mechanism is not required for systems with an e.i.r.p. of
        less than 500 mW.

           U-NII devices operating in the 5.25-5.35 GHz and 5.47-5.725 GHz bands shall employ a DFS
           radar detection mechanism to detect the presence of radar systems and to avoid co-channel
           operation with radar systems.



1.0      UNII Device Description

  •      System under Test: CP-DX70 (Slave Device under test) is a Desktop TelePresence Endpoint. This
         device does NOT have Radar Detection or support Ad-Hoc.

  •      The EUT (CP-DX70) and Master Device ( AIR-AP1242AG-A-K9) operate in the following bands:

             o    5150-5250 MHz
             o    5250-5350 MHz
             o    5470-5725 MHz
             o    5725-5850 MHz

  •      The maximum EIRP of the 5GHz equipment (Master Device) is 26 dBm, and the minimum possible
         EIRP is -1 dBm.

         The following antennas were evaluated as part of this testing process. The antennas listed reflect
         the maximum gain allowed for each family type of antenna:

         CP-DX70 (Slave Device) Fixed internal Antenna, Gain: (no external antenna can be used. )

                                      5260 - 5320MHz: 3.1dBi
                                      5500 - 5700MHz: 3.5dBi

  1. System testing was performed with video/audio streaming full motion video at 30 frames per second
     from the support client device to the EUT associated with an Access Point.

  2. This device does not exceed 27dBm eirp, so no transmit power control is implemented.

  3. The Master requires 61 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.

          Note 1: The instant that the Channel Move Time and the Channel Closing Transmission
          Time begins is as follows:
               • For the Short pulse radar Test Signals this instant is the end of the Burst.
               • For the Frequency Hopping radar Test Signal, this instant is the end of the last radar
                  Burst generated.
               • For the Long Pulse radar Test Signal this instant is the end of the 12 second period
                  defining the radar transmission.
          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 Channel changes (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 1 is used and for
          each frequency step the minimum percentage of detection is 90%. Measurements are
          performed with no data traffic.

3.0      Radar Test Waveforms

         This section provides the parameters for required test waveforms, minimum percentage of
         successful detections, and the minimum number of trials that must be used for determining DFS
         conformance. Step intervals of 0.1 microsecond for Pulse Width, 1 microsecond for PRI, 1 MHz for
         chirp width and 1 for the number of pulses will be utilized for the random determination of specific
         test waveforms.

         A minimum of 30 unique waveforms are required for each of the short pulse radar types 2 through 4.
         For short pulse radar type 1, the same waveform is used a minimum of 30 times. If more than 30
         waveforms are used for short pulse radar types 2 through 4, then each additional waveform must
         also be unique and not repeated from the previous waveforms. The aggregate is the average of the
         percentage of successful detections of short pulse radar types 1-4.

                                                 00

         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.

FCC ID: LDKDX700976 IC: 2461B- DX700976


     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 start 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).

     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.

4.0 Radar Waveform Calibration
  1. 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 radar pulse generator amplitude was set so that the power level measured at the spectrum
      analyzer was -62dBm.
