6.5.5 Antenna parameter assignment
6.5.5.1 Setting RF650A parameters for RF650R, RF680R and RF685R
Operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey
Note
Limitation of the radiated power according to EN 302 208 V1.4.1
RF600 systems that are put into operation within the EU, EFTA, or Turkey (ETSI) can be
operated with an RF650A antenna with a maximum radiated power of 2000 mW ERP (or 33
dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP, 35 dBm EIRP).
By setting the radiated power of up to 1300 mW ERP (or 31.15 dBm ERP, 2140 mW EIRP,
33.3 dBm EIRP), an RF650A antenna gain of 4 dBi (7 dBic) and taking into account the
cable loss associated with the antenna cable (see table (Page 241)), the radiated power of
the reader is correctly configured and the radiated power at the antenna is not exceeded.
Operation in China
By setting a max. radiated power of 2000 mW ERP (or 33 dBm ERP, 3250 mW EIRP,
35 dBm EIRP), an RF650A antenna gain of 3.5 dBi (6.5 dBic) and taking into account the
cable loss associated with the antenna cable (see table (Page 241)), the radiated power of
the reader is correctly configured.
Operation in Japan
According to ARIB STD-T107 the antenna must not exceed a radiated power of 500 mW
EIRP (or 27 dBm EIRP).
Operation in the USA, Canada
Note
Limitation of the radiated power to 4000 mW EIRP (36 dBm EIRP)
So that the FCC and IC requirements are met, the radiated power may not exceed 4000 mW
EIRP (36 dBm EIRP). Therefore the system must satisfy the following relation:
• Conducted power P dBm of the RF600 reader (< 30 dBm)
• Antenna gain G
• Cable loss a
P(dBm) ≤ 30 dBm - (G
