No. FCC type 5 radar's PPB is in between 1~3 and DFS simulators such as 
VeriWave machine pick one among the number (typically 1), hence to 
detect the type 5 radar we should pick the minimum number which is 1 
unless we won't detect the radar if pulse comes only once.

Actually their assumption (?) on FCC is incorrect.
PPB and PRF was not interchanged, the previous parameters simply picked 
wrong PRF for FCC instead (FCC type 5 radar's PRF is 1).
For Japan those parameters look quite different from what I've seen from 
Japan's Communications Ministry (MIC, 
www.tele.soumu.go.jp/e/sys/equ/tech/5ghz/5ghz.htm), but I couldn't say 
if it's correct or not at this moment since I haven't run DFS on Japan yet.
