Equivalent isotropically radiated power

Equivalent isotropically radiated power

In radio communication systems, Equivalent isotropically radiated power (EIRP) or, alternatively, Effective isotropically radiated power [ "IEEE Std. 100 The Authoritative Dictionary of IEEE Standards Terms, 7th Edition", The Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers, New York, 2000, ISBN 0-7381-2601-2, page 391] is the amount of power that a theoretical isotropic antenna (that evenly distributes power in all directions) would emit to produce the peak power density observed in the direction of maximum antenna gain. EIRP can take into account the losses in transmission line and connectors and includes the gain of the antenna. The EIRP is often stated in terms of decibels over a reference power emitted by an isotropic radiator with an equivalent signal strength. The EIRP allows comparisons between different emitters regardless of type, size or form. From the EIRP, and with knowledge of a real antenna's gain, it is possible to calculate real power and field strength values.

:EIRP = P_T - L_c + G_a

where EIRP and P_t (power of transmitter) are in dBm, cable losses (L_c) is in dB, and antenna gain (G_a) is expressed in dBi, relative to a (theoretical) isotropic reference antenna.

This example uses dBm, although it is also common to see dBW.

Decibels are a convenient way to express the ratio between two quantities. dBm uses a reference of 1mW and dBw uses a reference of 1W.

:dBm = 10 log(power out / 1mW)

and

:dBW = 10 log(power out / 1W)

A transmitter with a 50W output can be expressed as a 17dBW output or 47dBm.

:16.9897 = 10 imes log(50/1)

The EIRP is used to estimate the service area of the transmitter, and to co-ordinate transmitters on the same frequency so that their coverage areas do not overlap.

In built-up areas, regulations may restrict the EIRP of a transmitter to prevent exposure of personnel to high power electromagnetic fields however EIRP is normally restricted to minimise interference to services on similar frequencies
