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: E.I.R.P. is based on the highest antenna gain. For MIMO devices refer to KDB

 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.

SYSTEM OVERVIEW

The short pulse and long pulse signal generating system utilizes the NTIA software. The Vector
Signal Generator has been validated by the NTIA. The hopping signal generating system
utilizes the CCS simulated hopping method and system, which has been validated by the DoD,
FCC and NTIA. 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, 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
August 2005 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 KDB 905462 D02. The
frequency of the signal generator is incremented in 1 MHz steps from F L to FH for each
successive trial. This incremental sequence is 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.


SYSTEM CALIBRATION

A 50-ohm load is connected in place of the spectrum analyzer, and the spectrum analyzer is
connected to a horn antenna via a coaxial cable, with the reference level offset set to (horn
antenna gain – coaxial cable loss). The signal generator is set to CW mode. The amplitude of
the signal generator is adjusted to yield a level of –64 dBm as measured on the spectrum
analyzer.

Without changing any of the instrument settings, the spectrum analyzer is reconnected to the
Common port of the Spectrum Analyzer Combiner/Divider. The Reference Level Offset of the
spectrum analyzer is adjusted so that the displayed amplitude of the signal is –64 dBm.

The spectrum analyzer displays the level of the signal generator as received at the antenna
ports of the Master Device. The interference detection threshold may be varied from the
calibrated value of –64 dBm and the spectrum analyzer will still indicate the level as received by
the Master Device.

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. A
telnet session from the EUT console PC to the EUT via a wireless interfact through the Master
device is commenced to receive and monitor traffic. Traffic that meets or exceed the minimum
loading requirement is streamed from the Master device to the Slave Device. 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.

REPORT NO: 12148309-E5V2                                                                       DATE: JULY 30, 2019
FCC ID: SBVRM017                                                                                 IC: 5373A-RM017

       6.1.6. DESCRIPTION OF EUT

For FCC the EUT operates over the 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz ranges.

For IC the EUT operates over the 5250-5350 MHz and 5470-5725 MHz ranges, excluding the
5600-5650 MHz range.

The EUT is a Slave Device without Radar Detection.

The highest power level within these bands is 25.45 dBm EIRP in the 5250-5350 MHz band and
24.02 dBm EIRP in the 5470-5725 MHz band.

The EUT is constructed with four antennas with respective gains of 3.4 dBi, 3.4 dBi, 4.0 dBi and
3.8 dBi in the 5 GHz band.

Four antennas are utilized to meet the diversity and MIMO operational requirements.

The rated output power of the Master unit is > 23dBm (EIRP). Therefore the required
interference threshold level is –64 dBm. After correction for procedural adjustments, the
required radiated threshold at the antenna port is –64 + 1 = -63 dBm.

The calibrated radiated DFS Detection Threshold level is set to –64 dBm. The tested level is
lower than the required level hence it provides a margin to the limit.

The EUT uses four transmitter/receiver chains, each connected to an antenna to perform
radiated tests.

WLAN traffic that meets or exceeds the minimum required loading was generated by
transferring a data stream from the Master Device to the Slave Device using jPerf version 2.0
software package.

TPC is not required since the maximum EIRP is less than 500 mW (27 dBm).

The EUT utilizes the 802.11a/n architecture. One nominal channel bandwidth, 20 MHz, is
implemented.

The software installed in the EUT is Sonos Controller for PC version 10.3.

The software installed in the access point is AP3G2-K9W7-M Version 15.2(4)JB4.

UNIFORM CHANNEL SPREADING

This is requirement not applicable to Slave Devices.



OVERVIEW OF MASTER DEVICE WITH RESPECT TO §15.407 (h) REQUIREMENTS

The Master Device is a Cisco Access Point, FCC ID: LDK102087. The minimum antenna gain
for the Master Device is 6 dBi.

The rated output power of the Master unit is > 23dBm (EIRP). Therefore the required
interference threshold level is –64 dBm. After correction for procedural adjustments, the
required radiated threshold at the antenna port is –64 + 1 = -63 dBm.

The calibrated radiated DFS Detection Threshold level is set to –64 dBm. The tested level is
lower than the required level hence it provides a margin to the limit.

The software installed in the access point is AP3G2-K9W7-M Version 15.2(4)JB4.

       6.2.3. OVERLAPPING CHANNEL TESTS

RESULTS

These tests are not applicable.


       6.2.4. MOVE AND CLOSING TIME

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 observation period over which the aggregate time is calculated begins at (Reference
Marker + 200 msec) and ends no earlier than (Reference Marker + 10 sec).
