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 FCC KDB Publication 662911
        D01.

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.

  3.2.2.   System Calibration

           The short pulse types 0,1,2, 3 and 4, and the long pulse type 5 parameters are randomized at run—time.
           The hopping type 6 pulse parameters are fixed while the hopping sequence is based on the May 2014
           NTIA Hopping Frequency List. The initial starting point randomized at run—time and each subsequent
           starting point is incremented by 475. Each frequency in the 100—length segment is compared to the
           boundaries of the EUT Detection Bandwidth and the software creates a hopping burst pattern in
           accordance with Section 7.4.1.3 Method #2 Simulated Frequency Hopping Radar Waveform Generating
           Subsystem of FCC KDB 905462 D02 UNII DFS Compliance Procedures New Rules v02 The frequency
           of the signal generator is incremented in 1 MHz steps from FL to FH for each successive trial. This
           incremental sequenceis repeated as required to generate a minimum of 30 total trials and to maintain a
           uniform frequency distribution over the entire Detection Bandwidth.
           The signal monitoring equipment consists of a spectrum analyzer. 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 and max hold.

3.2.3.   System Calibration

         The Interference Radar Detection Threshold Level is (-64 dBm), The above equipment setup was used
         to calibrate the radiated Radar Waveform. A vector signal generator was utilized to establish the test
         signal level for each radar type. During this process there were replace 50 ohm terminal form Master
         and Client device and no transmissions by either the Master or Client Device. The spectrum analyzer
         was switched to the zero span (Time Domain) at the frequency of the Radar Waveform generator. Peak
         detection was used.The spectrum analyzer resolution bandwidth (RBW) and video bandwidth (VBW)
         were set to at least 3 MHz.
         The vector signal generator amplitude was set so that the power level measured at the spectrum
         analyzer was (-64 dBm). Capture the spectrum analyzer plots on short pulse radar types, long pulse
         radar type and hopping radar waveform.



3.2.4.   Adjustment of Displayed Traffic Level

         A link is established between the Master and Slave and the distance between the units is adjusted as
         needed to provide a suitable received level at the Master and Slave devices. Software to ping the client
         is permitted to simulate data transfer but must have random ping intervals. The monitoring antenna is
         adjusted so that the WLAN traffic level, as displayed on the spectrum analyzer, is at lower amplitude
         than the radar detection threshold.

5.2.     Channel Move Time and Channel Closing Transmission Time
5.2.1.   Reporting Notes

         The reference marker is set at the end of last radar pulse.

         The delta marker is set at the end of the last WLAN transmission following the radar pulse.
         This delta is the channel move time.

         The aggregate channel closing transmission time is calculated as follows:
         Aggregate Transmission Time = (Number of analyzer bins showing transmission) * (dwell time per bin)

         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.
