Frequency range [MHz] mean EIRP [ dBm] 5150 – 535023 5470 – 572530 Frequency range [MHz] mean EIRP [ dBm] 5150 – 535017 5470 – 572524 Table 2: Mean EIRP limits for RF output power at the highest power level Table 3: Mean EIRP limits for RF output power at the lowest power level

7. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/455r0 Submission July 2002 Mika Kasslin, NokiaSlide 7 DFS Definition in HS RLAN shall employ a Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) mechanism to detect interference from other systems and to avoid co-channel operation with other systems, notably radar systems. DFS associated with the channel selection mechanism shall be required to provide a uniform spread of the loading of the equipment across a minimum of 14 channels (or 330 MHz), or 255 MHz in the case of equipment used only in the band 5 470 MHz to 5 725 MHz. DFS requirements as described later in this clause will apply to different operational modes per table 6. The supplier shall declare whether the UUT is capable of operating as a Master or as a Slave only.

15. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/455r0 Submission July 2002 Mika Kasslin, NokiaSlide 15 Introduction For each technical requirement given in the HS there is typically a radio test suite defined Essential radio test suites in the HS are for –Carrier frequencies and channelization –TPC –Tx unwanted emissions outside & within the 5 GHz RLAN bands –Rx spurious emissions –DFS

16. doc.: IEEE 802.11-02/455r0 Submission July 2002 Mika Kasslin, NokiaSlide 16 DFS Test Methods For an UUT capable of operating as a Master, the test scenario consists of an UUT, a signal generator and a protocol test unit. For an UUT capable of operating only as a Slave the test scenario consists of an UUT and a protocol test unit. The UUT is capable of transmitting a test transmission sequence. Three different test scenarios 1.Initial Channel Availibility Check 2.Clearing the Operating Channel – Master 3.Clearing the Operating Channel - Slave
