CC3200: CC3200 Tx power

Part Number: CC3200

Dear Sir,

We use CC3200 for our e-lock application, and we test Wifi performance by our PCBA ( radio tools + IQxel 80 ).

Test results as below table.

But we find out High throughput output power lower than SPEC over 7dB , we also test for CC3200 EVM and it is same results .

By the way it’s the same results by use power meter measurement.

 

Can someone explain to me why this happened?
