Section
10.2.2 and
Table 11
4.1
US - OPERATION TO AVOID INTERFERENCE WITH TDWR
The US FCC, NTIA, FAA, and industry are working to resolve interference to Terminal Doppler
Weather Radar (TDWR) systems used near airports that has occurred from some outdoor
wireless systems operating in the 5470 MHz – 5725 MHz band. These wireless devices are
subject to Section 15.407. When operating as a master device they are required to implement
radar detection and DFS functions and radios must not transmit on channels which overlap the
5600-5650 MHz band used by TDWR.
Additional information is available from
o
the FCC’s Knowledge Database (KDB) Publication 443999 “Interim Plans to Approve
UNII Devices Operating in the 5470-5725 MHz Band with Radar Detection and DFS
Capabilities” available at
https://fjallfoss.fcc.gov/kdb/GetAttachment.html?id=33781
o
the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) in coordination with
Spectrum Bridge:

.
5.4-GHz radios must be professionally installed. The professional installer must have the
following expertise:
o
Understanding of the configurations outlined in
Table 11: US FCC IDs and Industry
Canada Certification Numbers and covered configurations,
especially those
applicable to the 5470-5725 MHz U-NII band.
o
Understanding of the master/slave operation of the AP/BHM and SM/BHS – that the
AP or BHM determines the transmission frequency for both master and slave.
o
Understanding of the SM/BHS frequency scan selection settings and how they can
be set to prevent scanning and therefore transmission on any specific frequencies.
o
Understanding of the option to set primary and two alternate frequencies on the AP
or BHM.
o
Ability to use the GUI to set the primary and alternate transmit frequencies on an AP
or BHM, scanned frequencies on an SM or BHS, and Transmit Output Power of a
radio.
o
Ability to use the spectrum analyzer feature of the radio to observe the local RF
environment.
o
Ability to determine if a radio is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any Terminal Doppler
Weather Radar (TDWR) using the Search function available at
http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/search.aspx
, or using various mapping
programs and the data from in
Table 2: TDWR Location Information
.
o
Ability to set the AP/BHM’s transmit frequency (frequencies, if using alternate
frequencies) and SM/BHS’s scanned frequencies at least 30 MHz (center-to-center)
from any TDWR operating frequency or frequencies within 35 km of the radio.
To gain this expertise the following training is required:
