FCC I don't know, I'm concerned with ETSI ;)
We used that at an external lab, and they verified that we complied with the
30% over 100ms requirement (see below). 

ETSI EN 301 893 defines a specific burst requirement for DFS testing, to quote 
it:
  "...shall consist of packet transmissions that together exceed the transmitter
  minimum activity ratio of 30 % measured over an interval of 100 ms..."

The requirement is not really picky, it could be one mega-frame after every 
beacon or such.
If we uses too much throughput or tightly sequenced frames, the radar 
signatures would be lost among the data frames.

(Other tests (not about DFS) have more stringent requirements, e.g. 10% 
bandwidth
over periods of 2ms)

We made the setup and the lab checked that it was within the norm requirements.
