that delivered to the aerial and generally for the unmodulated condition; but in case of
systems in which the application of modulation causes an increase in the effective carrier
power, apart from any change in power due to redistribution between the carrier and
sidebands, this will be allowed for.
B.RFP, ERP and the aerial characteristics will be assessed either by measurements or by
calculation from the characteristics of the types of apparatus used, at the discretion of the
Telecommunications Authority.
