REPORT NO: 16U22770-E2V1 DATE: APRIL 15, 2016 QCA-9008-TBD1 WITH ACER LAPTOP FCC ID: PPD-QA9008-TBD1 7. APPLICABLE LIMITS AND TEST RESULTS 7.1. PEAK AND AVERAGE POWER LIMITS § 15.255(b)(1)(i) Except as indicated in paragraph (b)(1)(ii) of this section, the average power of any emission shall not exceed 40 dBm and the peak power of any emission shall not exceed 43 dBm. TEST PROCEDURE ANSI C63.10 Measurements are made at a distance greater than or equal to the far field boundary distance. The measured power level is converted to EIRP using the Friis equation: EIRP = PT * GT = (PR / GR) * (4 * Pi * D / )^2 where: GR is the net assembly gain of the receive measurement antenna, including waveguide feed loss D is the measurement distance  is the wavelength The EIRP is converted to Power using the equation: PD = EIRP / (4 * Pi * DS^2) where: DS is the specification distance Note: Calculations were made in the log form equivalent to the linear form listed above. Measured Peak and Average voltages are only a reference value used in the RF detection measurement and are not part of the EIRP calculations.
