What is the highest transmit-power level permitted for 2.4 GHz operation in the United States?

  • A 20 dBm
  • B 23 dBm
  • C 30 dBm
  • D 36 dBm
Explanation

For 2.4 GHz digital-modulation systems operating under FCC Part 15.247, the maximum peak conducted output power is 1 watt, which is 30 dBm. The FCC distinguishes this transmitter-output limit from allowable EIRP, which can be higher with antenna gain.
