Transmitters

Output Power

  • Output power is the power from the transmitter
  • For CW and FM it is the d.c. (steady state) power
  • For SSB it is the Peak Envelope Power
  • Measured in dBW, power relative to 1 watt
    • 10 dBW = 10W
    • 20 dBW = 100W
    • 26 dBW = 400W
    • 32 dBW = 1.5kW (31.7 dBW)
