DFS Radar Pattern MX370073B

Installing the DFS Radar Pattern MX370073B option in the Vector Signal Generator MG3710A/MG3710E supports output of FCC 06-96 (Released: June 30, 2006), FCC 13-22  (Released: February 20, 2013) and Japan MIC (Reference: TELEC-T403 (V14.0) DFS test signals. Output of complex combinations of pulse, chirp, and hopping signals required to support the DFS tests is made easy just by selecting combination files supplied with the MX370073B.

• Supports both FCC and Japan MIC Standards.
• One MG3710A/MG3710E supports pulse, chirp, and hopping signals.
• External PC not required. Simply selecting the prepared waveform pattern outputs various signals using the MG3710A/MG3710E built-in Sequence function.
• Offers 5.3-GHz band waveform patterns adopted by Japan MIC standard in July 2019

DFS Test Setup (Example)

• One MG3710A/MG3710E supports pulse, chirp, and hopping signals.
• PC is not required.

Sequence Function and Combination File

Sequence Function
This standard function switches and outputs multiple waveform patterns continuously. Standards-compliant test signals can be created by combining complex patterns of pulse, chirp, hopping, and null signal waveforms. Clicking “Sequence Restart” on the right starts output of the DFS test signal according to the standards.

Combination File:
Users can output pulse, chirp and hopping signals for DFS tests easily just by selecting a combination file with this sequence information.

• Simple output just by selecting a combination file.
• Supports 40 variable signal types – 20 times each for the main test and retest.
• Selecting in order supports tests with random conditions

Although production of the MG3710A main frame has been discontinued, the MX370073B can be installed in existing MG3710A units. In addition, the MG3710A-045 option can alsobe retrofitted.

[Supplement] What is DFS: Dynamic Frequency Selection?

Japan MIC Standard (Reference: TELEC-T403) specifies use of frequency bands from 5.3 GHz (5.26/5.28/5.30/5.32 GHz) and 5.6 GHz (5.50/5.52/5.54/5.56/5.58/5.60/5.62/5.64/5.66/5.68/5.70
GHz) for the WLAN 5 GHz band. Since these are the same frequency bands as used by meteorological radarNote and marine radar, these pulse signals are obliged to use Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) technology.
FCC 06-96 requires the same tests for 5.25 to 5.35 GHz and 5.47 to 5.725 GHz.

Note: Weather radar locates precipitation by transmitting pulse bursts every second. Interference from wireless LAN can be mistaken for precipitation. Therefore, use DFS to confirm the absence of weather radar before starting operation.
