PRODUCT NAME:               Cisco Merucry Radio

NAME OF TEST:               The Processing Gain of a Direct Sequence System.

FCC Part 15.247 (e) specifies:

          The processing gain of a direct sequence system shall be at least 10 dB.

Guidance on measurement by FCC

  The processing gain may be measured using the CW jamming margin method. The test consists of
stepping a signal generator in 50khz increments across the passband of the system. At each point, the
generator level required to the produce the recommended Bit Error Rate (10—5) is recorded. This is the
jammer level. The output power of the transmitting unit is measured at the same point. The Jammer to
Signal (J/S) ratio is then calculated. Discard the worst 20% of the J/S data points. Total losses in a system
including transmitter and receiver, should be assumed to be no more than 2 dB.

therefore, processing gain = S/N + Mj + Lsys

Where :
S/N = Signal to noise ratio required at the receiver output for 10—5 error rate of a ideal receiver for your
demodulation scheme

Mj = Jammer to signal ratio
Lsys = System losses (2d4B max)




Test results :

for 1 mb data rate:
          S/N = 13 dB ; taken from Wireless Information Networks by Pahlavan & Levesque
        Mj = — 4.2 dB ; worst case jamming margin from tests in lab
        Lsys = 2.0 dB ; system losses
therefore the processing gain at Imb is 13 dB — 4.2 dB + 2.0 dB = 10.8 dB




for 2 mb data rate:
          S/N = 13 dB ; taken from Wireless Information Networks by Pahlavan & Levesque
          Mj = — 4.2 dB ; worst case jamming margin from tests in lab
          Lsys = 2.0 dB ; system losses
therefore the processing gain at 2mb is 13 dB — 4.2 dB + 2.0 dB = 10.8 dB

for 5.5 mb data rate:
         S/N = 13.6 dB ; taken from Harris CCK encoding modulation
         Mj = — 4.4 dB ; worst case jamming margin from tests in lab (after 20% discard)
         Lsys = 2.0 dB ; system losses
therefore the processing gain at 5.5mb is 13.6 dB — 4.4 dB + 2.0 dB = 11.2 dB




for 11 mb data rate:
         S/N = 16.0 dB ; taken from Harris CCK encoding modulation
        MJ =— 7.4 dB ; worst case jamming margin from tests in lab (after 20% discarded)
        Lsys = 2.0 dB ; system losses
therefore the processing gain at 11mb is 16.0 dB — 7.4 dB + 2.0 dB = 10.6 dB
