Re-read the deffinition of PEP which you deleted.

Yeah, I read it. Some of us have heard the rumor that the FCC has lawyers
write its material, not engineers. I wasn't too impressed with that
definition, by the way.

Well then if you don't believe anyone you should go and look it up for
yourself. You will find that same deffinition in the ARRL handbook. Oh
I forgot you don't believe what is in there either. Then try some of
the Collins Radio SSB handbooks. Maybe Art Collins didn't know what he
was talking about either? How about in the IEEE handbook.

Keep in mind when trying to understand PEP that there is no peak power
involved. It is all average power.

Also when calculating side band power and carrier power that is all
average power too. Forget about peak power.

Once you understand how this works then you can work from there to
figure out the rest.

I have eliminated all the other stuff as you seem to be going round
and round only for the sake of arguing and not for understanding.

I would encourage you to go to your local library and look at some of
Terman's books or get his radio handbook from ebay etc. Also the
radiotron designer's handbook is excellent.
