Effective radiated power (ERP)
The ERP in dBm is the power radiated from the transmitter antenna in
the direction of transmission. It is the sum of the transmitter power
increased by the antenna gain mi-nus the loss in the feeder run
(waveguide and waveguide components) minus losses in antenna branching
attenuation, r.f. attenuators etc. The ERP is not directly a planning
parameter, but it has to be reported to the frequency allocation
agencies for their inter-ference planning.
The calculated ERP will be shown in the Path Performance report.
