Effective radiated power relative to a half-wave dipole (ERP = EIRP − 2.15 dB).

App id: RF-04. Reference version 1.0.

How to fill it

Fill the inputs. The tool shows the outputs.

On the tool screen, Calc is the working sheet. Presets stores values you reuse. Reference is the formula, assumptions, and provenance below.

Formula

ERP = P_TX − losses + G; ERP = EIRP − 2.15 dB

Inputs

NameUnit
TX powerdBm
Cable lossdB
Connector lossdB
Antenna gaindBd

Outputs

NameUnit
ERP (hero result)dBm

Diagnose

This tool does not attach diagnose observations.

Assumptions

  • Output is dipole-referenced. Entering dBi still converts correctly.
  • Losses are positive magnitudes.
