Antenna Field Strength Calculator
Estimate electric field strength at a specified distance from an idealized transmitting antenna under free-space far-field conditions. Enter transmit power and distance to calculate mV/m and dBµV/m. An optional frequency input checks an approximate far-field boundary.
The antenna factors represent idealized directional values. Actual fields depend on the installation, losses, surroundings, polarization and observation direction.
- 100 W, half-wave dipole, 5 km: 14.0 mV/m (82.9 dBµV/m)
- The turnstile value applies to the horizontal plane.
This calculator is intended for engineering estimates under idealized free-space far-field conditions. It does not model cable loss, mismatch, reflections, terrain, obstructions or regulatory measurement procedures.
