A new radio luminosity equation for pulsars is presented which is based on the geometry of a polarcap model. Statistical results show that the emission component intensity distribution is Gaussian. There are 100 pulsars with new radio luminosity values. We show that the radio luminosity can be described by one relation L ∝ (BP 2)1.07 or L ∝ Q' –1.4, Q' = 2P 1.1Ṗ –15 –0.4 over the whole range of period and period derivatives, contrary to other recently suggested luminosity laws.
