What is the Effective Radiated Power of an amateur transmitter, if the transmitter output power is 200 watts, the transmission line loss is 5 watts, and the antenna power gain is 3 dBd?

  1. A178 watts
  2. B390 watts
  3. C197 watts
  4. D228 watts

Correct answer: B — 390 watts. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

A gain of 3 dBd means the antenna concentrates the signal to produce twice the power in the strongest direction compared to a standard dipole. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
