Telecommunications - The average power supplied to the antenna transmission line by a transmitter during an interval of time sufficiently long compared with the lowest frequency encountered in the modulation taken under normal operating conditions. [NTIA] [RR] Note: Normally, a time of 0.1 second, during which the mean power is greatest, will be selected.
