If a 3 dBd gain antenna is replaced with a 9 dBd gain antenna, with no other changes, the Effective Radiated Power (ERP) will increase by:

  1. A2
  2. B4
  3. C6
  4. D1.5

Correct answer: B — 4. From the official ISED question bank, verified word for word.

Why

A 3 dB increase in antenna gain doubles the Effective Radiated Power, so adding another 3 dB to reach a total 6 dB increase doubles it again. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.
