7.1 Regulatory channel support and output power
Jefferson Peak provides regulatory compliance via statically-configured SKUs or DRS (Dynamic
Regulatory Solution).
For further details on the DRS scheme, refer to the DRS application note (see Section 8 8 ).
7.2 Wi-Fi channel configuration
7.2.1 Channel configuration RF output power
The values listed in Table 5–3 represent the target power for the calibration process without antennae
gain. This value has been verified to ensure margin from the regulatory limit based on post EEPROM
factory calibration measurements using a diagnostic tool that operates the WLAN card at a ~99% DC
(Duty Cycle) taken on both the main and auxiliary antenna ports.
As part of the factory test process, Intel measures the output power of every card. Any cards that
exceed the maximum limits (EEPROM + 1 dB) will not pass the factory test. While in operation the
card adjusts TX power using a closed loop TX power calibration algorithm. To do so, a power detector
and temperature sensor are used.
Intel uses the following antenna gain value for product and country certification work: 3 dBi for
2.4 GHz and 5 dBi for 5 GHz.
Intel also incorporates a lower limit to ensure that compliance of the WLAN card is maintained. The
minimum limits are set by factory processes.
