devices it is suggested to select frequencies in all 20 MHz channel blocks and a null frequencies between
the bonded 20 MHz channel blocks.

2.2       DFS Detection Thresholds and Response Requirement
Below table provides the DFS Detection Thresholds for Master Devices as well as Client Devices
incorporating In-Service Monitoring.

DFS Detection Thresholds for Master Devices and Client Devices With Radar Detection.
         Maximum Transmit Power                             Value (See Notes 1 , 2 and 3)
EIRP ≥ 200 milliwatt                                                    -64 dBm
EIRP < 200 milliwatt and                                                -62 dBm
power spectral density < 10 dBm / MHz
EIRP < 200 milliwatt and that do not meet                               -64 dBm
the power spectral 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.
Note3: EIRP is based on the highest antenna gain. For MIMO devices refer to KDB Publication 662911 D01.


DFS Response Requirement Values

                   Parameter                                             Value
Non-occupancy period                        Minimum 30 minutes.
Channel Availability Check Time             60 seconds.
Channel Move Time                           10 seconds. (See Note 1.)
Channel Closing Transmission Time           200 milliseconds + an aggregate of 60 milliseconds over
                                            remaining 10 second period.
                                            (See Notes 1 and 2.)
U-NII Detection Bandwidth                   Minimum 100% of the U- NII 99% transmission power
                                            bandwidth. (See Note 3.)
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.

2.3        Radar Test Waveforms

This section provides the parameters for required test waveforms, minimum percentage of successful
detections, and the minimum number oftrials that must be used for determining DFS conformance. Step
intervals of 0.1 microsecond for Pulse Width, 1 microsecond for PRI, 1 MHz for chirp width and 1 for the
number of pulses will be utilized for the random determination of specific test waveforms.

The parameters for this waveform are randomly chosen. Thirty unique waveforms are required for the Long
Pulse Radar Type waveforms. If more than 30 waveforms are used for the Long Pulse Radar Type
waveforms, then each additional waveform must also be unique and not repeated from the previous

For the Frequency Hopping Radar Type, the same Burst parameters are used for each waveform. The hopping
sequence is different for each waveform and a 100-length segment is selected from the hopping sequence
defined by the following algorithm:
The first frequency in a hopping sequence is selected randomly from the group of 475 integer frequencies from
5250 – 5724 MHz. Next, the frequency that was just chosen is removed from the group and a frequency is
randomly selected from the remaining 474 frequencies in the group. This process continues until all 475
frequencies are chosen for the set. For selection of a random frequency, the frequencies remaining within the
group are always treated as equally likely


2.3.4     Radar waveform generation
A single R&S SMU200A Vector Signal Generator is used for the DFS signal generation. This instrument is
capable of generating all the above waveforms with Pulse Sequencer Software. The R&S Pulse Sequencer
Software comes as a stand-alone PC based software with preconfigured project files for DFS. It simplifies the
generation of all required waveforms and offers a one box solution
