I'm pretty sure you can run 1 watt on WiFi.

- jdietrich 2y ago1 watt conducted power, 4 watts EIRP. For most of the world, the ETSI limit is 100mW EIRP. https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A/part-15/subpart-C/subject-group-ECFR2f2e5828339709e/section-15.247 https://www.ecfr.gov/current/title-47/chapter-I/subchapter-A...
- throw10920 2y ago1 watt? With beamforming to increase the energy density you could run a tiny microcontroller off of that.
- rocqua 2y agoThis is about radiated power in any direction not exceeding what you would get with an omnidirectional 1W antenna. So beamforming under these rules lets you use less input power for the same directional power. But it doesn't let you bundle all your power into a single direction.
- brookst 2y agoWhich is probably good, as 100mw focused in a very tight beam could cause considerable mischief.
- GeorgeTirebiter 2y agoYes. Beamforming for the receiver, tho, is highly beneficial. MIMO does that for you. The previous poster is correct, the EIRP must not increase when antenna gain does; you have to turn down the wick on the TX.

- zamadatix 2y agoA microwave may generate waves with many hundreds of Watts but the FCC limits the allowed leakage to ~the same effectively radiated power as they do Wi-Fi in the 2.4 GHz band.
