Power to Generate a Known Field (Far Field)

Use this tool to calculate the required power (in Watts) to generate a known far-field strength, based on the desired field strength (V/m), antenna gain, and distance from the antenna. The antenna gain is converted from dBi to its linear equivalent automatically.

V/m
dBi
m
Result: 0 W

Formula:

P = (E × d)² / (30 × G)

Where:

  • P = Required power in Watts
  • E = Required field strength in V/m
  • d = Distance in meters
  • G = Antenna gain (converted from dBi)

Note: Gain in dBi is converted to linear factor using: G = 10^(dBi/10)

This tool helps with:

  • Determining the power needed to achieve a specified field strength at a given distance.

  • Evaluating far-field performance in antenna testing setups.

  • Converting antenna gain from dBi to a linear factor for accurate power calculations.
