PARAM, ERPREFDB

Bulk Data Entry Specifies the reference power value used to calculate Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP) in decibels (dB).

Parameter Values Description
ERPREFDB Real > 0.0

Default = 1.0

The Equivalent Radiated Power (ERP) in decibels can be calculated using the following equation:
ERPdB=10.0*log10(RHOCP*ERPERPREFDB)
Where,
ERPdB
Equivalent Radiated Power in decibels.
RHOCP
Value of the scale factor specified using the parameter PARAM, RHOCP.
ERPREFDB
Reference power value specified using this parameter.

ERP output in dB scale is currently only available in PUNCH format.
