6.2 TX Tab Overall Output Power Area

The Overall Output Power area of the WLAN 18xx FW TX tab controls output power using a slider or a menu, allowing the desired power level to be set manually in dBm. To deliver maximum power to the antenna, select 30.000 dBm power and check the SoC Limits box.

To pass regulatory certification, additional power limitations are required on specific channels. To enable the limitations specified by the .INI file, click the Channel Limits box (for more information on power limits, see the WL18xx INI File User Guide.

Figure 6-2 shows the Overall Output Power area.
