What Does ERP Stand For?
ERP stands for Effective Radiation Power
Effective Radiation Power (ERP) is a measure used in telecommunications and broadcasting to quantify the actual power radiated by an antenna, taking into account the gain of the antenna and the loss of transmission line components. It reflects the total effective power that is emitted in a specific direction, providing a more accurate representation of the signal strength and coverage area compared to the transmitter's output power alone. ERP is an essential parameter for evaluating and optimizing antenna performance and ensuring compliance with regulatory requirements.
