EIRP

Hello, what is meant by EIRP?

Hi @Vivek Kamble , EIRP is the Effective Isotropic Radiated Power, also called the Equivalent Isotropically Radiated Power. It is the power that would have to be radiated by a hypothetical isotropic antenna to give the equivalent (or same) signal level as the specific source antenna in the direction of maximum radiation of that specific antenna.

Hi - How do you calculate the EIRP from an antenna?

Hello,

You can calculate the EIRP from the output power of the transmitter (Pt), cable loss (Lc), and Antenna gain (G) as EIRP= Pt-Lc+G.
