Peak Power (Bluetooth)

Peak Power is the highest instantaneous power reached anywhere in the detected packet, from the preamble through the CRC Cyclic Redundancy Check. Unlike Avg Power, it is not restricted to the window set by the Output Power Marker Start and Output Power Marker Stop parameters, so changing those markers moves Avg Power without moving Peak Power.

Reported together with Avg Power, the pair describes the burst's power envelope: the mean the standard's output-power test is graded against, and the peak the envelope actually reached. The limit that applies and the resulting verdict are shown in the Limits Table.
