Presentation by Andy Gowans on the EN 301 893 Harmonised Standard. Expect BRAN 32.5 in April to process comments

EN Annex D DFS parameters

Channel Availability Check 60s ‘continuous checking’ in probabilistic terms

Channel Move Time 10s

Channel Closing Transmission Time 220/260 ms ? still in discussion [the key item being measured]

99.99% probability of detection

Question about radar bandwidth of their signal – look in HS and ITU-R 8A documents

Examples of slave devices and radar detection thresholds:

Maximum transmit power

Example 1:

Slave device tx

Ø  200mW, –64 dBm

Ø  <= 200mW, N/a

Example 2:

TX > 200 mW, -62 dBm

121-200mW, -55 dBm

< 120 mW, N/a

Example 3:

Ø  TX >500mW, –62 dBm

Ø  201-500 mW, -62 dBm

Ø  101-200 mW, -55 dBm

Ø  51-100 mW, -52 dBm

Ø  < 50 mW, n/a

Ad hoc networking threshold:

Ø  200mW, -64dBm

Ø  26-200 mW, -62 dBm

Ø  < 25 mW, n/a [same in 5.8 GHz band]

Ø  Radar detection is not mandated in 5150-5250

HS will have startup test
