What is Effective Radiated Power?

Effective radiated power (\(ERP\)) is the measure of the power radiated by an antenna in a specific direction. It is calculated by multiplying the input power (\(IP\)) by the antenna gain (\(G\)). This measurement is important in telecommunications and broadcasting to ensure that signals are transmitted effectively over desired distances.

Example Calculation 1

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ ERP = 50 \times 2 = 100 \text{ watts} \]

The effective radiated power is 100 watts.

Example Calculation 2

Let's assume the following values:

Using the formula:

\[ ERP = 75 \times 1.5 = 112.5 \text{ watts} \]

The effective radiated power is 112.5 watts.
