Chapter 17: False Radar
Mitigation Facilities
17.1 Scope of this Chapter
This chapter describes how to configure the units in a RADWIN 2000+ Series link so as to
avoid interfering with certain radar systems.
17.2 Who needs it
If you are using DFS frequency bands 5.3/5.4 GHz ETSI and 5.4/5.8GHz FCC you should use this
facility.
17.3 DFS and False Radar Mitigation
17.3.1 About DFS
Under DFS frequency bands, it must be ensured that radio links do not interfere with certain
radar systems in the 5 GHz band. If radar is detected, the radio link should move
automatically to a frequency that does not interfere with the detected radar.
17.3.2 What is False Radar Mitigation
False Radar Mitigation capability is an advanced method to reduce or eliminate false radar
detection and DFS triggering ("False positives").
False radar detection can be caused by other radios transmissions or external interference
that can be interpreted as true radar.
This option is active only in DFS frequency bands, 5.3/5.4 GHz FCC (HBS only) and 5.4/5.8GHz
ETSI (HBS & HSU).
In what follows false radar means any source of radar‐like signals which are not real radar.
