ExtremeMobility AP505 max conducted transmit power

ExtremeMobility AP505 max conducted transmit power

Hi Community,

Does anyone let me know what is the max total conducted transmit power of AP505? I only see the Maximum Transmit Power (dBm) per Transmit Chain on its datasheet.

Thanks in advanced.

Son,
For starters, the IRP (conducted power) is going to vary based on the transmitted modulation type/value used. But if we simply choose the greatest value for each band (2.4/5GHz) then it's 19dBm and 20dBm per MIMO chain, respectively.

With that said, the maximum conducted power will also vary based on the number of radio chains used.
For a 2SS transmission, add an additional 3dB
For a 3SS transmission, add an additional 4.8dB
For a 4SS transmission, add an additional 6dB

So if you configured the radio power for 15dBm and the transmission used 2 spatial streams, you would have an effective IRP of 18dBm. (before the antennas)

So to more precisely answer your question, the max conducted powers would be:
2.4GHz: 19dBm + 6dB (4SS) = 25dBm
5GHz: 20dBm + 6dB (4SS) = 26dBm

And just in case it's not already understood, these are IRP values, not EIRP. As such, you would then add any additional antenna gain onto these conducted power (IRP) values, which would then give you your final aggregate EIRP (which is what you ultimately care about when dealing with your local RF regulatory restrictions)

Very clear information. Thanks so much Chris.
