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 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.

Peak Output Power
Engineer: Alex Macon
Test Date: 4/7/16

                                                      Test Requirements

For the band 5.725-5.85 GHz, the maximum conducted output power over the frequency band of operation shall not
exceed 1 W. 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. However, fixed point-
to-point U-NII devices operating in this band may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi
without any corresponding reduction in transmitter conducted power. 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

The RF power was calculated using the spectrum analyzers’ band power function per Method SA-1 from KDB 789033
D02 General U-NII Test Procedures New Rules v01. Measurements were made at the low, mid and high channels of the
band.

The Spectrum analyzer was set to the following:
   a. RBW = 1 MHz
   b. VBW ≥ 3 MHz
   c. Sweep time = auto
   d. Detector = RMS
   e. 100 traces in power averaging mode

Test Date: 4/7/16
                                                  Test Requirements

For the band 5.725-5.85 GHz, the maximum power spectral density shall not exceed 30 dBm in any 500 kHz band. If
transmitting antennas of directional gain greater than 6 dBi are used, the maximum power spectral density shall be
reduced by the amount in dB that the directional gain of the antenna exceeds 6 dBi. However, fixed point-to-point U-NII
devices operating in this band may employ transmitting antennas with directional gain greater than 6 dBi without any
corresponding reduction in power spectral density.

                                                    Test Procedure

The Power Spectral Density was measured using the method per SA-1 from KDB 789033 D02 General U-NII Test
Procedures New Rules v01. Measurements were made at the low, mid and high channels of the band. The maximum
PSD was determine by finding the peak value across the carrier bandwidth.

The Spectrum Analyzer was set to the following:

    a.   RBW = 500 KHz.
    b.   VBW ≥ 1500 MHz
    c.   Span 1.5 * BW

Undesirable Emissions Conducted
Engineer: Alex Macon
Test Date: 4/7/16

                                                  Test Requirements

                               Unwanted Emissions that fall Outside Restricted Bands

For transmitters operating in the 5.725-5.85 GHz band: All emissions within the frequency range from the band edge to 10
MHz above or below the band edge shall not exceed an e.i.r.p. of −17 dBm/MHz; for frequencies 10 MHz or greater
above or below the band edge, emissions shall not exceed an e.i.r.p. of −27 dBm/MHz. 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.

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

Within the 5.725-5.85 GHz band, the minimum 6 dB bandwidth of U-NII devices shall be at least 500 kHz. For purposes
of this subpart 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 6 dB down relative to the
maximum level of the modulated carrier. Determination of the emissions bandwidth is based on the use of measurement
instrumentation employing a peak detector function with an instrument resolution bandwidth approximately equal to 1.0
percent of the emission bandwidth of the device under measurement

                                                    Test Procedure
