TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) Start with a Transmitter
Line Loss -1dB TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) Add some transmission line
Antenna Gain +9dB Line Loss -1dB TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) And an antenna
Radome Loss -.5dB Antenna Gain +9dB Line Loss -1dB TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) Plus a radome for ice protection
Radome Loss -.5dB Antenna Gain +9dB ERP: 57.5dBm(562Watts) Line Loss -1dB TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) Now compute the Effective Radiated Power
Radome Loss -.5dB Antenna Gain +9dB Free Space Loss -109dB (44 miles on 155 MHz) Path Loss -50dB (Terrain obstructions, vegetation, buildings on path to this point) Line Loss -1dB TXTPO: 100Watts(+50dBm) Compute losses to a receive location
17.3 dBu Field Strength (-101.5 dBm hypothetically) Radome Loss -.5dB Antenna Gain +9dB Since the energy in the field is only converted to power when the field is applied (as a voltage) across an impedance, this power value is for this illustration only, assuming a 50 Ohm impedance value.
