2.6 TRANSMIT POWER CONTROL (TPC)

U-NII devices operating in the 5.25-5.35 GHz band and the 5.47-5.725 GHz band
shall employ a TPC mechanism. The U-NII device is required to have the capability
to operate at least 6 dB below the mean EIRP value of 30 dBm. A TPC mechanism
is not required for systems with an e.i.r.p. of less than 500 mW.

Maximum EIRP of this device is 51.168 mW which less than 500mW, therefore it’s
not require TPC function.

2.7 STATEMENT OF MAUNFACTURER

Manufacturer statement confirming that information regarding the parameters of


the detected Radar Waveforms is not available to the end user. And the device
doesn’t have Ad Hoc mode on DFS frequency bands.

Report No.: RF130408C20-5 8 of 23 Report Format Version 5.0.0


3. U-NII DFS RULE REQUIREMENTS

3.1 WORKING MODES AND REQUIRED TEST ITEMS


The manufacturer shall state whether the UUT is capable of operating as a Master
and/or a Client. If the UUT is capable of operating in more than one operating
mode then each operating mode shall be tested separately. See tables 1 and 2 for
the applicability of DFS requirements for each of the operational modes.

DEVICES WITH RADAR DETECTION

MAXIMUM TRANSMIT POWER VALUE (SEE Note 1 and 2)

≥ 200 milliwatt -64 dBm


< 200 milliwatt -62 dBm
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.

TABLE 9: 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 80% of the UNII 99% transmission
power bandwidth.
See Note 3.
Note 1: The instant that the Channel Move Time and the Channel Closing Transmission Time
begins is as follows:
• For the Short Pulse Radar Test Signals this instant is the end of the Burst.
• For the Frequency Hopping radar Test Signal, this instant is the end of the last radar
Burst generated.
• For the Long Pulse Radar Test Signal this instant is the end of the 12 second period defining
the Radar Waveform.
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 1 is used and for each
frequency step the minimum percentage of detection is 90 percent. Measurements are
performed with no data traffic.

5. TEST PROCEDURE

5.1 ADT DFS MEASUREMENT SYSTEM:


A complete ADT DFS Measurement System consists of two subsystems: (1) the Radar
Signal Generating Subsystem and (2) the Traffic Monitoring Subsystem. The control PC is
necessary for generating the Radar waveforms in Table 6, 7 and 8. The traffic monitoring
subsystem is specified to the type of unit under test (UUT).

RADIATED SETUP CONFIGURATION OF ADT DFS MEASUREMENT SYSTEM

The test transmission will always be from the Master Device to the Client Device. While the Client
device is set up to associate with the Master device and play the MPEG file (6  Magic Hours) from
Master device, the designated MPEG test file and instructions are located at:
http://ntiacsd.ntia.doc.gov/dfs/

Report No.: RF130408C20-5 13 of 23 Report Format Version 5.0.0


5.2 CALIBRATION OF DFS DETECTION THRESHOLD LEVEL:

The measured channel is 5500MHz and 5510MHz. The radar signal was the same
as transmitted channels, and injected into the antenna of AP (master) or Client
Device with Radar Detection, measured the channel closing transmission time and
channel move time. The calibrated detection threshold level is set to -64dBm. The
tested level is lower than required level hence it provides margin to the limit.
