PCB: Max power is 17 dBm #22

Because of the current TX transformer spec (turns ratio 1.2 : 1), max power out is 17 dBm. A transformer with 2:1 impedance ration (1.41:1 turns ratio) should provide the full 20 dBm output.

The current plan is to use a PCIe daughter board. A user can have any transformer they like. PCB: See RF front-end enhancements.
