A receive antenna has no EIRP, it doesnt radiate any real power.

Actually, when properly matched, it radiates half the received power.


How do you get that?
If the receiver input impedance is matched to the antenna, all the
received power is absorbed. There is no reflection. There is no radiation.

If the receiver matching is for optimal noise figure, there may be
some reflection and reradiation, but there's nothing pinning it to
be half the received power.
