Operation in North America
The FCC specifies frequency hopping across the North American spectrum
allocated to UHF RFID (902
−
928 MHz, with hopping occurring between
902.75
−
927.25 MHz in 500 KHz steps). This specification states that no listen-
before-talk is performed, the maximum continuous transmit time on a channel
is 0.4 seconds.

Other RF channels and single channel selection are present only for
test purposes and should not be used in normal operation!
FCC regulations describe the radiating power limits in relation to isotropic
antenna and EIRP (Efficient Isotropic Radiating Power) is used as a measure.
The maximum RF output power is defined by the antenna gain, the half power
beam width and the cable attenuation on the reader - antenna connection. A
