Height above average terrain ( HAAT ) ( or less popularly, EHAAT, Effective Height Above Average Terrain ) is used extensively in FM radio and television, as it is more important than effective radiated power ( ERP ) in determining the range of broadcasts ( VHF and UHF in particular, as they are line of sight transmissions ).
