LIMIT ETSI EN 300 328 Clause 4.3.1.2 The equivalent isotropic radiated power (e.i.r.p.) shall be equal to or less than 100 mW (20 dBm) over normal and extreme conditions. This limit shall apply for any combination of power level and intended antenna assembly.

TEST PROCEDURE ETSI EN 300 328 Clause 5.7.2

CALCULATIONS Output Power = Measured Power + Test Cable Loss + Duty Cycle Factor EIRP = Output Power + EUT Antenna Gain The output power is measured by power meter with channel power gate control function (measured on time only); therefore the duty cycle correction factor is 0 dB.

LIMIT ETSI EN 300 328 Clause 4.3.3.2 For all equipment the frequency range shall lie within the band 2,4 GHz to 2,4835 GHz (fL > 2,4 GHz and fH < 2,4835 GHz), over Normal and Extreme conditions.

TEST PROCEDURE ETSI EN 300 328 Clause 5.7.4.1. Radiated measurements were made using a TEM cell as a radiated test jig. The output from chain 0 (Main) is connected to the highest gain EUT antenna, which placed inside the TEM cell. The output from the TEM cell is fed to the spectrum analyzer via a preamplifier. The output from the single transmit chain is corrected to be valid for all transmit chains, for those modes that transmit on two chains. The correction for duty cycle is applied to all modes. The spectrum analyzer offset includes the correction factor between the TEM cel / Preamplifier and far-field (3-meter) radiated results, plus the transmit chain correction factor as applicable, plus the duty cycle correction factor.
