The test set-up was made in accordance to the general provisions of Compliance measurement procedures for
unlicensed-national information infrastructure devices operating in the 5.25-5.35GHz and 5.47-5.725GHz Bands
incorporating Dynamic Frequency Selection (FCC Order, ET Docket No.03-122 (FCC 06-96).
For radio testing purposes the EUT card was installed in a test fixture. The test fixture is connected to a laptop
computer and dc power supplied. During the test a streaming video file (MPEG) is sent from the master device
(connected to a server via an Ethernet interface) to the laptop computer.
The PC was using the Intel test SW: 17.12.0.0.


The manufacturer declared values for the EUT operational characteristics that affect DFS are as follows:



     -     Client Device with no DFS (no In Service Monitoring, no Ad-Hoc mode).
     -     Maximum declared antenna gain (dBi) for 5.25-5.35 GHz is 3.73 dBi & 5.47-5.725 GHZ is 4.77 dBi.




DFS Measurement instrumentation

A vector signal generator SMU200A is used as the radar-generating source. The waveform of pulses and burst
configuration are programmed using the Pulse sequence software of Rohde&Schwarz.
The output of the Vector signal generator is connected to a calibrated horn antenna.

Channel monitoring is implemented by using a spectrum analyzer and digital storage oscilloscope. The analyzer is
configured in a zero-span mode, center frequency set to the radar waveform´s frequency or the center frequency of
the EUT´s operating channel.

The IF output of the spectrum analyzer is connected to one input of the oscilloscope. The output of the Pulse
function generator is used to send the modulating signal. This output is also connected to a second input on the
oscilloscope and the oscilloscope display both the RF channel traffic and the radar pulses on its display.

The master and slave (EUT) devices are placed inside an anechoic chamber. The simulated radar waveform is
transmitted using a directional calibrated horn antenna toward the unit performing the radar detection (master).



The radar signal level at the master device is verified by measuring the continuous signal level from the Vector
signal generator using a reference measuring antenna placed at the master’s location and connected to a spectrum
analyzer. The signal level is calculated from the measured level at the reference antenna and taking into account the
cable loss and reference antenna gain.



Applied level (dBm) = M (dBm) – Gref (dBi)+ L (dB)

Where:

M (dBm): Measured level in the spectrum analyzer

Gref (dBi): Reference antenna gain

L (dB): Loss of connecting cable between antenna and spectrum analyzer.

The antenna connected to the channel monitoring system is positioned to allow both master and slave (EUT)
transmissions to be observed, with the level of the EUT’s transmissions between at least 10 dB higher than those
from the master device.

The setup is shown in the next figure.




DFS Channel Closing Transmission Time and Channel Move Time measurement method

These times are measured by applying a burst of radar signal and observing the transmissions in the operating
channel. The time between the end of the applied radar burst and the end of transmissions on the channel is the
Channel Move 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.

DFS Channel Non Occupancy Period measurement method

The channel is monitored for 30 minutes to check that there are no transmissions on the channel over the required
non-occupancy period. This is achieved by allowing the analyzer to perform a sweep over a 30 minutes period to
capture any transmissions on the channel after the detection of the radar waveform.
