Antenna gain relates the intensity of an antenna in a given direction to the inten-
sity that would be produced by a hypothetical ideal antenna that radiates equally
in all directions (isotropically) and has no losses.
The gain of an antenna is directly related to its directivity, the antenna gain is a
measure that also takes into account the efficiency of the antenna

EIRP&ERP
In radio telecommunications, effective radiated power or equivalent radiated power
(ERP) is a standardized theoretical measurement of radio frequency (RF) energy[1] [2]
using the SI unit watts, and is determined by subtracting system losses and adding sys-
tem gains
