Section 2 Microwave Path Engineering Basics TRACER 6000 Series Integrated System Manual Transmitted Power (P ) T The FCC specifies the maximum transmitter power used for antennae of a given gain. FCC Rules Part 15, Subpart 247 allow for a maximum power of 1 watt (30 dBm) into antennae of a gain less than or equal to 6 dBi. At 2.4 GHz (TRACER 6410), the 1-watt maximum transmitter power must be reduced by 1 dB for every 3 dB of antenna gain over 6 dBi. This rule is shown in Table 5. Table 5.
