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)
