Without diving deep into the derivations myself, (which would take considerable time that I do not currently have), I would recommend you confirm the receiver_gain_effective values for uuid: 3902436.
For UUID 3902436, I see an total discrimination angle of around 140-145 degrees. This angle seems reasonable when plotting the TX, RX, and SPD lat/lon on a map. I would expect a lower effective receiver gain for that large of an angle. Let me know if I'm mistaken.
Your values for UUID 2795557 appear reasonable (to me) compared to the 23dBm limit in the test vector. I see your limit for 6300-6360MHz is about 2.85dB lower than the test vector. Assuming a similar offset exists with your calculation for 6862.5-6875 MHz would give a (presumed) test vector value of 23.84dBm/MHz, which is over the 23dBm/MHz limit and grouped with the adjacent frequencies. I am not able to discern the root cause of any differences with the test vector that are this small.
Yes I am getting an overall discrimination angle of 143 degrees for UUID 3902436 .

Thanks for the extra info. I expect the calculations for the test vectors used a greater antenna discrimination value at 145deg than you have employed. The manufacturer RPE shows a discrimination of around -61dB at that angle, as opposed to your calculated -38.9dB.
If I'm reading R2-AIP-07 correctly, then to instead use a default RPE instead of the manufacturer RPE, the second bullet of R2-AIP-07b.ii.2 should be used, as GRX = 34.8dBi < 38dBi and |θDisc| = 143deg > 5deg. This bullet states that a value from Table 2 (the reference to Table 3 is a typo) should be used for Category B2 and the 5925-6425MHz band, which gives a discrimination value of -60dB for |θDisc| > 140deg.
From R2-AIP-07, θDisc is defined as
That is the angle between Rx and Tx
θEL_Disc = math.atan((HFS_Tx_ASML - HFS_Rx_ASML)/dFSTx_FSRx - dFSTx_FSRx/(2*rEarth) )
Angle 2: Elevation angle: R-T The receive antenna boresight elevation angle (from transmitter) θEL_Disc= -2.044399370044944 degrees
The angle of 143 degrees you have mentioned is the Azimutal discrimination angle between Rx and Access Point
Azimuthal discrimination angle:R-AP The azimuthal discrimination angle, θAZ_Disc= 143.8373357152191 degress
So using θEL_Disc which is -2.04 which is < 5 degrees there is no look-up in the table and the calculated value as per ITU-R F.699-8 is used
# R2-AIP-07-b
if GRx <38: #2. For primary receive antennas with GRx < 38 dBi:
if math.degrees(θEL_Disc) < 5: #degrees
rpe_p = calculate_GRx_Az_RPE(math.degrees(gamma),GRx,D2RxNFA_m,centerFreqMhz) <-----Code uses this
rpe_n = calculate_GRx_Az_RPE(-math.degrees(gamma),GRx,D2RxNFA_m,centerFreqMhz)
else:
#Use the minimum radiation suppression in Table 3 for the Fc, FS-Rx, ULS (MHz) and Category B2 if | Disc| ≥ 5 degrees.
rpe_p =getRadiationSupressionFromTable(centerFreqMhz,'B2',math.degrees(gamma))
rpe_n =rpe_p
log.info(f"GRx <38:B2: Got GRx_AZ_RPE={rpe_p} from Radiation Suppression Table 3 {centerFreqMhz},{ant_category}")
I am bit confused here as to which to use.As the beginning of the document gives this definition for θAZ_Disc
when I use this θEL_Disc I get FSP.30 correct as per mask and SIP.1 almost correct as below
rpe_p = getRPE(gamma,θEL_Disc,GRx,D2RxNFA_m,centerFreqMhz,ant_category)

When I use the θAZ_Disc in the function I get this assertion as per the document, and if I ignore that assertion I get completely wrong values
θDisc and θDDisc (the off-boresight discrimination angles) are defined correctly in section 3.3 of TS-1014, and they are a function of both the azimuth and elevation discrimination angles, as mentioned in their definitions.
R2-AIP-07-b-ii-1 does not contradict this definition and makes no mention of the individual azimuth or elevation discrimination angles θAZ_Disc or θEL_Disc.
R2-AIP-37-a-i and R2-AIP-37-a-i-1 notes that the off-boresight discrimination angles, also denoted as γ, can be computed using R2-AIP-36-a and R2-AIP-36-b, as well as by other equivalent methods.
Thanks, @AEgbert for the clarification;
From the above comment it is neither θAZ_Disc
nor θEL_Disc
. So θDisc is the overall discrimination angle, 𝛾 calculated 143.5187
.
One clarification: You mentioned
This bullet states that a value from Table 2 (the reference to Table 3 is a typo) should be used for Category B2 and the 5925-6425MHz band, which gives a discrimination value of -60dB for |θDisc| > 140deg.
But in Table 2 all values given are positive. Checking the manufactures RPE I guess we need to take these as negative. In the document, this is not evident unless you are familiar with RPE
Correcting the code for this change, I am getting RPE as -60 and PSD above 23 for UUID = 3902436 call_sign = 'WQZA729'
. This is fine.
However, I am still getting PSD 10.94 for UUID = 2795557 call_sign = 'WQEQ218'
. I am not able to find on the internet the manufacturer RPE for PAR10-65 RF
other than a reference to RPE 1257 in a Andrew antenna datasheet

I've had luck finding the RPE data for Andrew antennas within the "Legacy Andrew Antenna Data" download available on this page: https://www.nsma.org/resources/tools/
Also in the response, the PSD mask and the EIRP mask do not match in some frequency.
I expect this is because of adjacent channel protection (i.e., the constraint on the frequency range 6300-6361MHz is in the channel adjacent to GOC 131 CFI 85 and limiting the allowable EIRP). You may find the discussion about adjacent channel protection in #44 helpful.

From the document R2-AIP-07, this then goes to the last point
R2-AIP-07
For primary receive antennas with GRx ≥ 38 dBi:
▪Use the formulas in ITU-R F.699-8 [n.15] by using DRx and GRx
determined in accordance with R2-AIP-05 if |θDisc| < 5 degrees.
▪If |θDisc| ≥ 5 degrees:
•Use the minimum radiation suppression in Table 2 for the
Fc, FS-Rx, ULS (MHz) and Category B1 if antenna model is blank in
the ULS or is identified as a Category B1 antenna according to
Category B1 Antenna data obtained as per R2-AIP-13.
•Use the greater discrimination value of:
o the minimum radiation suppression in Table 2 for the
Fc, FS-Rx, ULS (MHz) and Category A and
o GRx – GRx(θDisc), where GRx(θDisc) is determined using the

"Use the minimum radiation suppression in Table 2 for the Fc, FS-Rx, ULS (MHz) and Category A otherwise."
In Table 2 the maximum for this angle 79 degrees is -42 dB
; and if I use that, I get PSD 10
. (logs below)
If I change the interpretation and code to handle this as a high-performance antenna, then the calculated RPE comes to -52
and if I use that I get PSD 20.9
which is closer to 23. I am not sure how to add the polarization mismatch as the polarization of the SPD is not available. If that is added (+3 dB) then it comes to 23.99

If this is correct then the document has to be modified in R2-AIP-07 for non high-performance antenna as well ?

Not that this (Andrew PAR10-65 RF) is not a high performance antenna as per the snapshot in this repo
From the document R2-AIP-07, this then goes to the last point ... "Use the minimum radiation suppression in Table 2 for the Fc, FS-Rx, ULS (MHz) and Category A otherwise."
In Table 2 the maximum for this angle 79 degrees is -42 dB; and if I use that, I get PSD 10. (logs below)
I believe this is correct, when using the default RPE according to R2-AIP-07-b-ii. Note that using the actual RPE provided by the manufacturer via R2-AIP-07-b-i is also a supported option, as stated in R2-AIP-07-b. I believe in this case, using the actual RPE via R2-AIP-07-b-i will result in a greater amount of discrimination than the default RPE, but either approach should be compliant with the test vector and can be used at the AFC System operator's discretion.

@AEgbert the same code using the RPE from the table is giving just -42db; as per R2-AIP-07-b and PSD of about 10 ; This is under the max limit of the test vector but too low; If we take a max of calculated value -52 db, which is closer to manufacture RPE and the RPE from table 2 look up , PSD is coming closer to the test vector of 23.
Hence the request to amend the documentation as described in my previous comment
The default RPE data (from Table 2) providing a conservative estimate compared to one based on more specific information (the manufacturer supplied data) is not an issue. My understanding is that Andrew PAR10-65 RF is not included in the high-performance antenna list as it differs sufficiently from the RPE specified by ITU-R F.699-8 in a way that may impact incumbent protection. As you noted, the calculated RPE from ITU-R F.699-8 predicts a lower gain than the manufacturer data indicates by 2-3dB. This difference may be greater still at other discrimination angles, and thus it is not appropriate to apply the calculated RPE from ITU-R F.699-8.
This leaves either the manufacturer specified RPE, or the RPE requirements from the FCC 101.115 rules (included in Table 2 in TS-1014).
Hi, For the following test vector AFCS.SIP1
https://github.com/Wireless-Innovation-Forum/6-GHz-AFC/blob/main/src/harness/inquiries/AFCS.SIP.1.json https://github.com/Wireless-Innovation-Forum/6-GHz-AFC/blob/main/src/harness/masks/AFCS.SIP.1_mask.json
These are the incumbent details I am getting after cross-checking multiple times
This translates to the following PSD
The Expected Frequency is
The Calculated Frequency is
It seems from the expected mask that only the incumbent with
uuid 3297962 and callsign WQNW580
is taken into consideration; Whereas from the ULS data, the other two incumbents are present and they are contributing the following PSD restriction for the frequency range to the AP.I am not able to figure out why these should not be there with the data in ULS.
