Table 2 DFS Detection Thresholds for Master Devices and Client Devices With Radar Detection

      Maximum Transmit Power                                     Value (See Notes 1,2, and 3)
      ≥ 200 milliwatt                                            -64 dBm

      < 200 milliwatt that do not meet the power spectral        -64 dBm
      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.
      Note 3: EIRP is based on the highest antenna gain. For MIMO devices refer to KDB Publication 662911 D01.

      Channel Closing Transmission Time                             200 milliseconds + an aggregate of 60
                                                                    milliseconds over remaining 10 second period.
                                                                    See Notes 1 and 2
      U-NII Detection Bandwidth                                     Minimum 100 % of the U-NII 99 % transmission

      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 signal 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.

SECTION 5: Operation of E.U.T. during testing

5.1     Operating Modes

The EUT, which is a Client Device without Radar detection capability, operates over the U-NII-2C.

*Refer to 12548845H-A FCC Part 15E (FCC 15.407) report for other parts than DFS.

The channel-loading of approximately 17% or greater was used for testing, and its test data was transferred from the
Master Device to the Client Device for all test configurations.


The EUT utilizes the 802.11a/n architecture, with a 20MHz and 40MHz channel bandwidth.

The FCC ID for the Master Device used with EUT for DFS testing is N6C-SXPCEAC.

The rated output power of the Master unit is >200mW(23dBm). Therefore the required interference threshold level is
-64 dBm. After correction for antenna gain and procedural adjustments, the required conducted threshold at the
antenna port is -64 + 1 + 0 = -63.0 dBm (threshold level + additional 1dB + antenna gain).

It is impossible for users to change DFS control, because the DFS function is written on the firmware and users cannot
access it.

The EUT was set by the software as follows:
Software name & version: HW: PW08090, SW: iperf ver.2.05

5.3      Test and Measurement System

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The measurement system is based on a conducted test method.

The software selects waveform parameters from within the bounds of the signal type on a random basis using uniform
distribution. The short pulse types 1, 2, 3, and 4, the long pulse type 5, and the frequency hopping type 6 parameters
are randomized at run-time.

The signal monitoring equipment consists of a spectrum analyzer with the capacity to display 8001 bins on the
horizontal axis. A time-domain resolution of 2 msec/bin is achievable with a 16 second sweep time, meeting the 10
seconds short pulse reporting criteria. The aggregate ON time is calculated by multiplying the number of bins above a
threshold during a particular observation period by the dwell time per bin, with the analyzer set to peak detection.

FREQUENCY HOPPING RADAR WAVEFORM GENERATING SUBSYSTEM

The first 100 frequencies are selected out of the hopping sequence of the randomized 475 hop frequencies.
Only a Burst that has the frequency falling within the receiver bandwidth of the tested U-NII device is selected among
those frequencies. (Frequency-domain simulation). The radar waveform generated at the start time of the selected
Burst (Time-domain simulation) is download to the Signal Generator.
If all of the randomly selected 100 frequencies do not fall within the receiver bandwidth of the U-NII device, the radar
waveform is not used for the test.

SYSTEM CALIBRATION

Step 1: Set the system as shown in Figure 3 of KDB905462 D02 7.2.2.

Step 2: Adjust each attenuator to fulfill the following three conditions:
         - WLAN can be communicated, and
         - Rader detection threshold level is bigger than Client Device traffic level on the spectrum analyzer, and
         - Master Device traffic level is not displayed on the spectrum analyzer.

Step 3: Terminate 50 ohm at B , C , D and E points, and connect the spectrum analyzer to the point A. (See the figure
on page 14)
At the point A, adjust the signal generator and spectrum analyzer to the center frequency of the channel to be
measured.
Download the applicable radar waveforms to the signal generator. Select the radar waveform, trigger a burst manually
and measure the amplitude on the spectrum analyzer. Readjust the amplitude of the signal generator as required so
that the peak level of the waveform is at a displayed level equal to the required or desired interference detection
threshold.
Separate signal generator amplitude settings are determined as required for each radar type.

Step 4: Without changing any of the instrument settings, restore the system setting to Step 2 and adjust the Reference
Level Offset of the spectrum analyzer to the level at Step 3.

By taking the above steps 1 to 4, the spectrum analyzer displays the level of the signal generator as received at the
antenna ports of the Master Device.

6.2      Test Procedure

Transmit the data from the Master Device to the Client Device on the test Channel for the entire period of the test.
The Radar Waveform generator sends a Burst of pulses for one of the Short Pulse Radar Types 0 at levels defined ,
on the Operating Channel. An additional 1 dB is added to the radar test signal to ensure it is at or above the DFS
Detection Threshold, accounting for equipment variations/errors.
Observe the transmissions of the EUT at the end of the radar Burst on the Operating Channel for duration greater than
10 seconds.

SECTION 7: Non-Occupancy Period

7.1      Operating environment

Test place                 Ise EMC Lab.No.6 Measurement Room
Date                       November 30, 2018
Temperature/ Humidity      24 deg. C / 26 % RH
Engineer                   Yuta Moriya
Mode                       11n-40


7.2      Test Procedure

The following two tests are performed:

1). Transmit the data from the Master Device to the Client Device on the test Channel for the entire period of the test.
The Radar Waveform generator sends a Burst of pulses for one of the Radar Types 0 at levels defined
on the Operating Channel. An additional 1 dB is added to the radar test signal to ensure it is at or above the DFS
Detection Threshold, accounting for equipment variations/errors.
Observe the transmissions of the EUT after the Channel Move Time on the Operating Channel for duration greater
than
30 minutes.

2). Transmit the data from the Master Device to the Client Device on the test Channel for the entire period of the test.
Observe the transmissions of the EUT on the Operating Channel for duration greater than 30 minutes
after the Master Device is shut off.

*Hyphens for Last Calibration Date, Calibration Due Date and Cal Int (month) are instruments that
Calibration is not required (e.g. software), or instruments checked in advance before use.

*1) Signal generator is only used to generate radar test signal, and the wave form is confirmed with spectrum
analyzer every time before the test.

The expiration date of the calibration is the end of the expired month.
All equipment is calibrated with valid calibrations. Each measurement data is traceable to the national or
international standards.

As for some calibrations performed after the tested dates, those test equipment have been controlled by means
of an unbroken chains of calibrations.

As for some calibrations performed after the tested dates, those test equipment have been controlled by means
