Note: Measured at IEEE® 802.11 specification-compliant EVM/Spectral mask. Measured after the RF matching network and FEM output (assume 50Ω impedance). RF performance is ensured at 3.3V, 25°C, with a 2-3 dB change at boundary conditions. With respect to TX power, different (higher/lower) RF output power settings may be used for specific antennas and/or enclosures, in which case, re-certification may be required. Program the custom gain table to control the transmit power using the MCHPRT3 tool. For more details, refer to the Testing PIC32MZ-W1 SoC with MCHPRT3 Tool (DS50003203). The availability of some specific channels and/or operational frequency bands are country-dependent and must be programmed in the host product at the factory to match the intended destination. Regulatory bodies prohibit exposing the settings to the end user. This requirement needs to be taken care of via host implementation. The host product manufacturer must ensure that the RF behavior adheres to the certification (for example, FCC, ISED) requirements when the module is installed in the final host product. FCC-radiated emission limits (restricted band) This parameter is characterized but not tested in manufacturing. This parameter is characterized and tested in manufacturing.
