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
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
the Wireless Internet Service Providers Association (WISPA) in coordination with Spectrum Bridge:
http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx. 5.4-GHz radios must be professionally installed.
The professional installer must have the following expertise:
Understanding of the configurations outlined in Table 2: US FCC IDs and Industry Canada Certification
Numbers and covered configurations, especially those applicable to the 5470-5725 MHz U-NII band.
Understanding of the master/slave operation of the RADWIN 2000, RADWIN 5000 and RADWIN 6000
family products into which the RF Module AP0127730 or AP0134760 is assembled (hereafter: ODU).
The Master ODU determines the operating frequency of the radio link (Master and Slave).
Understanding of the devices frequency-scan selection settings and how they can be set to prevent
scanning and therefore transmission on any specific frequencies.
Understanding of the option to set primary and two alternate frequencies on the Master ODU.
Ability to use the RADWIN Manager (hereafter: NMS) to set the primary and alternate transmit
frequencies on the Master ODU, scanned frequencies on an Slave ODU, and Transmit Output Power
of a radio.
Ability to use the NMS Spectrum View utility feature to observe the local RF environment.
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 1: TDWR Location Information.
Ability to set the Master ODU's transmit frequency (frequencies, if using alternate frequencies) and
Slave ODU'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:
Study of the documentation
Familiarization in a lab or test environment
Hands-on training with an experienced installer.
Procedure 1 provides the specific instructions to avoid interfering with TDWR when using 5.4GHz ODUs
Procedure 1: Avoiding interference with Terminal Doppler Weather Radar (TDWR)
1. Use standard installation procedures with the additional steps outlined below.
2. For each 5.4-GHz ODU, determine if it is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any Terminal Doppler Weather Radar
(TDWR). This can be done using the map search tool at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/search.aspx, or
other mapping tools using the data from Table 1.
AP0127730, AP0134760 Reference Guide 4
4. If a Master ODU is within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any TDWR, disable the primary transmit frequency (and
alternate frequencies, if used) that are between 5570-5680 MHz.
5. If a Slave ODU is within 35 km (21.75) mi of any TDWR
Ensure its Master ODU isn’t using primary or alternate (if used) transmit frequencies that are within
5570-5680 MHz frequency range
Set the Slave ODU’s scanned frequencies to not include frequencies within 5570-5680 MHz frequency
range
Note, even if the Master ODU itself is more than 35 km from the TDWR, if any of its Slave ODUs are within 35
km, it must not operate within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range.
Note, in some instances an ODU may be within 35 km of multiple TDWRs. In this case, the device must not use
any frequency within 5570-5680 MHz frequency range.
6. Register each 5.4-GHz device operating within 35 km (21.75 mi) of any TDWR in the voluntary WISPA-
sponsored database at http://www.spectrumbridge.com/udia/home.aspx.
Note, this database may help expedite resolution of any interference to TDWRs.
7. Registration includes, at a minimum, Latitude, Longitude, and External Antenna Model. When registering a
device, choose whether to allow General Access or to have the device information viewable only by you and
government representatives.
