Maximum Power Levels and Antenna Gains
IEEE 802.11a
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated
power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table D-3 indicates the maximum
power levels and antenna gains allowed for each IEEE 802.11a regulatory domain.
IEEE 802.11b
An improper combination of power level and antenna gain can result in equivalent isotropic radiated
power (EIRP) above the amount allowed per regulatory domain. Table D-4 indicates the maximum
power levels and antenna gains allowed for each IEEE 802.11b regulatory domain.
