(1) Maximum transmitter power (TP) degradation of up to 30% is expected, starting from 80°C ambient
temperature on MIMO operation
(2) Regulatory constraints limit TI module output power to the following:
- Channel 14 is used only in Japan; to keep the channel spectral shaping requirement, the power is
limited: 14.5 dBm.
- Channels 1, 11 at OFDM legacy and HT 20-MHz rates: 12 dBm
- Channels 1, 11 at HT 40-MHz rates: 10 dBm
- Channel 7 at HT 40-MHz lower rates: 10
dBm
- Channel 5 at HT 40-MHz upper rates: 10 dBm
- All 11B rates are limited to 16 dBm to comply with the ETSI PSD 10 dBm/MHz limit.
- All OFDM rates are limited to 16.5 dBm
to comply with the ETSI EIRP 20 dBm limit.
- For clarification regarding power limitation, see the WL18xx
.INI File Application Report.
(3) To ensure compliance with the EVM conditions specified in the PHY chapter of
IEEE Std 802.11™ – 2012:
- MCS7 20 MHz channel 12 output power
is 2 dB lower than the typical value.
- MCS7 20 MHz channel 8 output power is 1 dB lower than the typical value.
