4.2 Effective Isotropic Radiated Power (EIRP)

EIRP is defined as the sum of the transmitted power and antenna gain, when these two parameters are known the EIRP can be calculated as in Equation 9. EIRP indicates the maximum radiated power at the peak angle of a non-isotropic antenna.

Equation 9. E I R P = P t - L c + G a

where

  • Pt is the TX power
  • Lc is Cable or routing loss
  • Ga is the antenna gain
