Common Antenna Gain Conversion Table

If you are… And you… Step 1 Step 2

Calculating ERP Start with dBi dBi - 2.15 dB = Y N/A
Calculating ERP Start with dBiC dBic - 3dB = X X - 2.15 dB = Y
Calculating ERP Start with dBd Keep as is N/A
Calculating ERP Start with dBiL dBiL - 2.15 = Y N/A

Calculating EIRP Start with dBi Keep as is N/A

Calculating EIRP Start with dBic dBic - 3dB = Y N/A
Calculating EIRP Start with dBd dBd + 2.15 dB = Y N/A
Calculating EIRP Start with dBiL Keep as is N/A
