For the purposes of the Schedule

A. Effective radiated power (ERP) is the mean radio frequency power multiplied by the gain of the aerial in the horizontal plane. The mean radio frequency power (RFP) will be taken as that delivered to the aerial and generally for the unmodulated condition; but in the 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.

C. The symbols used to designate the classes of emission have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

D. "Bandwidth" (頻帶寬度) and "frequency tolerance" (頻差容限) have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

For the purposes of the Schedule

A. Effective radiated power (ERP) is the mean radio frequency power multiplied by the gain of the aerial in the horizontal plane. The mean radio frequency power (RFP) will be taken as 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.

C. The symbols used to designate the classes of emission have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

D. "Bandwidth" (頻帶寬度) and "frequency tolerance" (頻差容限) have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

Location of Station	Frequency and Maximum Frequency Tolerance (para. D applies)	Bandwidth of Emission (para. D applies)	Class of Emission (para. C applies)	Pulse characteristics (pulse repetition frequency, pulse duration, pulse rise time-para 2 applies)	Effective radiated power in the direction of maximum radiation (Watts) (paras. A & B apply)	Aerial Characteristics (paras. A & B apply)

For the purposes of the Schedule

A. Effective Radiated Power (ERP) is the power supplied to the antenna multiplied by the relative gain of the

antenna in a given direction.
The (ERP) shall be expressed in terms of the peak envelope power (Pp), the mean power (Pm), or the carrier
power (Po), whichever is appropriate, taking into account the class of emission used. These powers shall have
the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

B. 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. For this purpose the appropriate recommendation of the International Radio Consultative Committee (CCIR) should be used as a guide.

C. The symbols used to designate the classes of emission have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

D. "Bandwidth" (頻帶寬度) and "frequency tolerance" (頻差容限) have the meanings assigned to them in the Telecommunication Convention.

E. Public Repetition Frequency (PRF) is the reciprocal of the minimum interval separating corresponding points (e.g., 50% of the peak amplitude) of successive pulses. Pulse duration (length) of any specific pulse is the interval between the first and the last instance at which the instantaneous amplitude reaches 50% of the peak amplitude. Pulse rise time is the time taken during any specific pulse for the amplitude to increase from 10% to 90% of the peak amplitude.
