The definition of peak envelope power (PEP) is: "The average power

(note that the definition says "AVERAGE power" not RMS power) This is
from the FCC definition.


The definition used by OFCOM, the UK licensing authority, contains the
same words: "The average power ... in one RF cycle at the crest of the
modulation envelope"

Hang on a minute, Ian!
I've just looked in your book and in section 6-5 you say in a passage
on Peak Envelope Power: "PEP is the RMS RF power level at the peak of
the modulating waveform." "RMS"? Which is it: RMS or AVERAGE??
Not getting confused, are you? ;-}
