ERP, or '''Effective Radiated Power''', is the perceived amount of power coming out of a transmitter antenna, as measured from a specific (usually the optimum) vantage point.  It is generally calculated as '''(transmitter output power - feedline losses - reflected power) * antenna gain over isotropic'''.
