Power
Speedway Revolution may only be operated with Impinj-approved antennas
and can radiate no more than 36 dBm EIRP per FCC Part 15.247 regulations.
The Speedway Revolution output power may be increased to provide the
maximum allowable EIRP subject to a maximum conducted power allowance
of 30 dBm at the antenna connector. The maximum allowable output power
of the reader can be set to satisfy both the conductor and radiated maximum
criteria. The expression for the maximum reader power setting is:
Maximum power setting (in dBM) = the Smaller of:
(36 Composite Antenna Gain (in dBM))
OR
(30 + Cable Loss (in dBM),
where the composite antenna gain comprises the maximum linear antenna gain
in dBi minus any cable loss between the reader and antenna in dB. Approved
antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed in the next
section.
Note: The composite antenna gain comprises the maximum linear antenna gain
in dBi minus any cable loss between the reader and antenna in dB. Approved
antenna vendors, model numbers, and associated gain are listed in the next
section.
