*IEEE/EMC Society Meeting*

*Time: Social 5:30 p.m. Presentation 7:00 p.m. *

*Subject: "Dynamic Frequency Selection (DFS) in the 5 GHz WLAN bands ? The*
* New FCC Regulations"*
* *
*Speaker: Michael Heckrotte*
* *
*Abstract:*
Two years ago the FCC opened up the spectrum from 5470 to 5725 MHz and
allocated this band for dual use. The existing licensed users will continue
to be primary and the new unlicensed users are secondary, hence the
unlicensed users must not interfere with the licensed users. The primary
users are typically radar systems, while the secondary users are expected to
consist mainly of Wireless Local Area Network transceivers. In order to
provide the necessary spectrum protection, a WLAN must first listen on the
intended channel of operation to determine if any nearby radar is currently
operating on that channel. The FCC has not yet issued any Grants of
Certification for unlicensed devices due to some significant technical
issues which have only recently been resolved. This presentation will cover
the resolution of these issues, the requirements and test procedures, and
the anticipated time line for implementing and releasing the new rules.
*Speaker Bio:*
Michael Heckrotte received his B.S. degree in engineering from Harvey
Mudd College.
Upon graduation he joined Hewlett-Packard and established a career
focused on advancing the state of the art of microwave instrumentation
and frequency-domain
measurement techniques. Mike has since applied his RF and microwave
background to specialize in electromagnetic compatibility. He has
in-depth experience with a diverse set of product families and their
associated regulatory and compliance issues. He has served on a number
of US and international standards committees, notably for powered
wheelchair EMC and DFS. Mike is currently the Engineering Manager at
Compliance Certification Services, which is an independent EMC
laboratory that specializes in the testing and certification of
wireless radios. CCS has been very involved with DFS testing since
2002, when the first ETSI standard incorporating this requirement was
published. Mike can be reached at:
