Can we apply Friss equation to find field strength at the receiving point....

AI Thread Summary
The Friss equation is primarily used to calculate path loss between two antennas in free space, but it does not directly provide field strength. For space wave propagation, the electric field can be calculated using the formula E = (7 * sqrt p / d^2) in volts per meter. While the Friss equation can help determine the power received by an antenna, it requires additional considerations for ground reflection and antenna type, such as monopoles. The discussion emphasizes the relationship between power, the Poynting vector, and electric field strength. Overall, while the Friss equation is useful, it must be applied with caution in practical scenarios.

The Friss formula gives the path loss between two antennas of specified aperture when in free space, so it does not directly give the field strength. The easiest formula for radiation from a dipole in free space is: E = (7* sqrt p / d^2 ) in volts per metre, volts, metres, watts.
The formula is not applicable for propagation over ground.You can introduce factors for gain and ground reflection if required. Be careful if a monopole antenna.

thank you!
but sir friss equation can easily give us the power received by the antenna and we know the relation between power,poyenting vector ,and electric field. power_received=poyenting_vector*effective_aprerture and poyenting_vector=(electric_field)^2*η. So now can we calulate electrc field?. The mode of propagation is space wave.
 
Agree, but you asked if the Friss formula gave field strength. The formula I have given seems to be quite simple.

Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
