The applicant has been cautioned as to the following


15.21 - Information to User

The user’s manual or instruction manual for an intentional radiator shall caution the user that changes or modifications not
expressly approved by the party responsible for compliance could void the user’s authority to operate the equipment.

15.27(a) - Special Accessories

Equipment marked to a consumer must be capable of complying with the necessary regulations in the configuration in
which the equipment is marketed. Where special accessories, such as shielded cables and/or special connectors are
required to enable an unintentional or intentional radiator to comply with the emission limits in this part, the equipment
must be marketed with, i.e. shipped and sold with, those special accessories. However, in lieu of shipping or packaging
the special accessories with the unintentional or intentional radiator, the responsible party may employ other methods of
ensuring that the special accessories are provided to the consumer without an additional charge.

Information detailing any alternative method used to supply the special accessories for a grant of equipment authorization
or retained in the verification records, as appropriate. The party responsible for the equipment, as detailed in § 2.909 of
this chapter, shall ensure that these special accessories are provided with the equipment. The instruction manual for such
devices shall include appropriate instructions on the first page of text concerned with the installation of the device that
these special accessories must be used with the device. It is the responsibility of the user to use the needed special
accessories supplied with the equipment.

Standard Test Conditions Engineering Practices

Except as noted herein, the following conditions and procedures were observed during the testing:

In accordance with ANSI C63.10-2013 and unless otherwise indicated in the specific measurement results, the ambient
temperature of the actual EUT was maintained within the range of 10° to 40°C (50° to 104°F) unless the particular
equipment requirements specified testing over a different temperature range. Also, unless otherwise indicated, the
humidity levels were in the range of 10% to 90% relative humidity.

Measurement results, unless otherwise noted, are worst-case measurements.

                                                    Test Requirements

 (i) For an outdoor access point operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the
frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W provided the maximum antenna gain does not exceed 6 dBi. If
transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used the maximum conducted output power shall be
reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. The maximum e.i.r.p. at any elevation
angle above 30 degrees as measured from the horizon must not exceed 125 mW (21 dBm).

 (ii) For an indoor access point operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the
frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W provided the maximum antenna gain does not exceed 6 dBi. If
transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, both the maximum conducted output power shall be
reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi.

(iii) For fixed point-to-point access points operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the maximum conducted output power
over the frequency band of operation shall not exceed 1 W. Fixed point-to-point U-NII devices may employ antennas with
directional gain up to 23 dBi without any corresponding reduction in the maximum conducted output power. For fixed
point-to-point transmitters that employ a directional antenna gain greater than 23 dBi, a 1 dB reduction in maximum
conducted output power is required for each 1 dB of antenna gain in excess of 23 dBi. Fixed, point-to-point operations
exclude the use of point-to-multipoint systems, omnidirectional applications, and multiple collocated transmitters
transmitting the same information. The operator of the U-NII device, or if the equipment is professionally installed, the
installer, is responsible for ensuring that systems employing high gain directional antennas are used exclusively for fixed,
point-to-point operations.

                                                      Test Procedure

EIRP Higher than 30°
Engineer: Alex Macon
Test Date: 9/14/2015
                                                     Test Requirements

In addition to the emission limits specified in § 15.407(a)(1)(i), if the access point is an outdoor Point-to-Multipoint device
operating in the band 5.15-5.25 GHz, the rules require that the maximum EIRP at any elevation angle above 30° not
exceed 125 mW (21 dBm) as measured from the horizon. This restriction leads to a general requirement for the antenna
pattern: if the EIRP within 3-dB elevation beam width of any radiation lobe is higher than 125 mW, this lobe must be
controlled, either mechanically or electrically, so that the 3-dB elevation beam width of this lobe is below 30° elevation
angle relative to horizon.
For the purposes of compliance, information for all the antenna types must be included in the filing. In order for antennas
to be considered of similar type, the antenna patterns must also be similar as well as other characteristics of the antenna.

                                                        Test procedure

    a)   The 0 degree reference angle was determined
    b)   From the provided radiation pattern the highest gain between 30° and 90° was determined
    c)   The EIRP was calculated based on the highest gain and conducted output power
    d)   The results were compared with the 125mW limit.

Undesirable Emissions Conducted
Engineer: Alex Macon
Test Date: 9/14/2015

                                                   Test Requirements

                               Unwanted Emissions that fall Outside Restricted Bands

For transmitters operating in the 5.15-5.25 GHz band:

All emissions outside of the 5.15-5.35 GHz band shall not exceed an e.i.r.p. of −27 dBm/MHz. As specified in § 15.407(b),
emissions above 1000 MHz that are outside of the restricted bands are subject to a maximum emission limit of -27
dBm/MHz. However, an out-of-band emission that complies with both the peak and average limits of § 15.209 is not
required to satisfy the -27 dBm/MHz maximum emission limit.

The emission measurements shall be performed using a minimum resolution bandwidth of 1 MHz. A lower resolution
bandwidth may be employed near the band edge, when necessary, provided the measured energy is integrated to show
the total power over 1 MHz

The provisions of §15.205 apply to intentional radiators operating under this section

Unwanted emissions below 1 GHz must comply with the general field strength limits set forth in §15.209.

                            For Conducted Unwanted Emissions in the Restricted Bands

For conducted measurements above 1000 MHz, EIRP was determined and then the field strength computed by the
following:
E[dBμV/m] = EIRP[dBm] - 20 log(d[meters]) + 104.77, where E = field strength and d = 3m
E[dBμV/m] = EIRP[dBm] + 95.2, for d = 3 meters.

                                                     Test Procedure

Per KDB 789033 D02 General U-NII Test Procedures New Rules v01 conducted RF port measurements were made in
lieu of radiated. In addition, Cabinet Emissions measurements were performed in a semi-anechoic chamber with the
antenna port terminated by a matching load. See additional section for Radiated Emissions.

The following criteria were addressed:

The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following for emissions > 1000MHz:
   a. RBW = 1 MHz
   b. VBW ≥ 3 MHz
   c. Detector = Peak.
   d. Sweep time = auto
   e. Trace mode = max hold
      1. Note: For emissions where the peak exceeded that of the average 15.209 emission limit the following was
          performed.
   f. RBW = 1 MHz
   g. VBW ≤ RBW/100 (i.e., 10 kHz) but not less than 10 Hz

For emissions below 1000MHz the Spectrum Analyzer settings were as follows:
    a. RBW = 100 kHz
    b. VBW ≥ 300 kHz
    c. Detector = Peak
    d. Sweep time = auto
    e. Trace mode = max hold

The EUT was setup in accordance with ANSI C63.10. 2013 and tested per KDB 789033. The antenna was replaced with
non-radiating matched load. The EUT is placed on non-conductive platform at a height of 0.8 meters above the ground
plane of the semi-anechoic chambers. The EUT was rotated 360 degrees and the receive antenna raised and lowered to
find the maximum emissions from 30MHz to the 10th harmonic of the fundamental. The EUT was set to the maximum
power level allowed and the low, mid, and high channels were investigated for emissions.

The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following for emissions > 1000MHz:

    a. (RBW = 1 MHz
    b. VBW ≥ 3 MHz
    c. Detector = Peak
    d. Sweep time = auto
    e. Trace mode = max hold
       1. Note: For emissions where the peak exceeded that of the average 15.209 emission limit the following was
           performed.
    f. RBW = 1 MHz
    g. VBW ≤ RBW/100 (i.e., 10 kHz) but not less than 10Hz

For emissions below 1000MHz the Spectrum Analyzer settings were as follows:

    a.   RBW = 100 kHz
    b.   VBW ≥ 300 kHz
    c.   Detector = Peak
    d.   Sweep time = auto

                                                   Test Requirement

The emission bandwidth shall be determined by measuring the width of the signal between two points, one below the
carrier center frequency and one above the carrier center frequency, that are 26 dB down relative to the maximum level of
the modulated carrier. Determination of the emissions bandwidth is based on the use of measurement instrumentation

                                                     Requirements

U-NII devices are subject to the radio frequency radiation exposure requirements specified in §1.1307(b), §2.1091 and
§2.1093 of this chapter, as appropriate. All equipment shall be considered to operate in a “general
population/uncontrolled” environment. Applications for equipment authorization of devices operating under this section
must contain a statement confirming compliance with these requirements for both fundamental emissions and unwanted
emissions. In addition, systems operating under the provisions of this section shall be operated in a manner that insures
that the public is not exposed to radio frequency energy levels in excess of the Commission’s guidelines.

                                                    Exposure Limits

At operating frequencies less than or equal to 6 GHz, the limits for maximum permissible exposure (MPE) shall be used to
evaluate the environmental impact of human exposure to radiofrequency (RF) radiation as specified in Section 1.1307(b),
except for portable devices as defined in §2.1093 as these evaluations shall be performed according to the SAR
provisions in §2.1093 of this chapter.
