Short Name: Maximum Input Power (dBm)

Property of niWLANAnalysis

Specifies the expected peak power level of the incoming signal at the input of the NI-RFSA, excluding any interframe spacing. Set the Maximum Input Power property equal to the sum of the average transmission power of the waveform and the maximum expected peak-to-average power ratio (PAPR) of the incoming signal. This value is expressed in dBm.

If you set the Standard property to 80211N MIMOOFDM, you must use a channelx active channel string format to configure this property.

Note  If you do not know the expected peak power level of the incoming signal, use the niWLANA RFSA Auto Range VI to determine the peak power level of the incoming signal.
Tip  Measurements may be inaccurate if the incoming burst has an average power of less than -30 dBm. Consider using a preamplifier to better use the dynamic range of the signal analyzer.
Note  This property is obsolete from NI WLAN Analysis Toolkit version 3.0 and is not available if you set the toolkit compatibility version parameter of the niWLANA Open Session VI to anything other than 1.0.0 or 2.0.0.

The default value is 0.
