puissance directe

According to IATE:

And I note that the source they quote is an official CCIR document, which therefore ought to be authoritative!

Note that in things like radio transmission and feeders, etc., we are interested in measuring 'forward power' and also the (usually unwelcoem) reflected power. For more explanations, try researching terms like VSWR, which will surely lead you to explanatory articles.
