DEF

product of the net radiated RF power of a transmitter and the gain of an antenna system in one direction relative to an isotropic source

OBS

The maximum power gain of a transmitting antenna in any direction multiplied by the net power accepted by the antenna from the connected transmitter.

OBS

Example: 36 dBm EIRP equals 4 W transmitted into an isotropic antenna, or 1 W transmitted into a 6 dB antenna.

OBS

Also referred to as effective isotropically radiated power, equivalent isotropical radiated power, and effective isotropical radiated power.

OBS

equivalent isotropically radiated power; EIRP: term, abbreviation and definition standardized by ISO/IEC [ISO/IEC 19762-4:2008].
