1. T-ambient is the system Environment temperature in the card surrounding, with no air
flow; T-ambient is platform related value and can be different from Platform to
Platform; so it cannot be used for validation, see T-oven for comparable value
2. T-oven is the temperature in the immediate surroundings of the card when it is in
thermal oven (the temperate is constant in the Card surrounding, +/-1c) with NO Air-
Flow (the card is inside a closed box, inside the Oven)
3. T-Shield is the temperature on the Shield of the card (on the Shield) above the Radio
unit (The Hot-spot of the Card) this is the real deterministically measurable meter.
The Tx Throttling is guaranteeing the Wi-Fi functionality, and meet quality and reliability
requirements at thermal constraints While maximal performance (at high Shield temperature)
is reduced, as described in this section.
TPTmax – maximum throughput
TPT2 – the minimum throughput after the
throttling
Ts1 (appears as Tc1) – the shield
temperature that allows Max TPT, above
Ts1 max TPT may not be available
Ts2 (appears as Tc2) – the shield
temperature that allows Wi-Fi functionality,
above Ts2 Wi-Fi functionality may not be
available
To1/To2 are the equivalent Oven
temperature (assuming no Air flow) to Ts1
and Ts2
TPTmax = 300Mbps (Phy rate)
TPT2 = 54Mbps (Legacy Phy rate)
Ts1 = 80°c (To1 =~ 50°c, No air-flow)
Ts2 = 95°c (To2 =~ 70°c, No air-flow)
