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 'Underwater piezoelectric sensor array receive sensitivity'

Hi all I have some confusion about piezoelectrical sensors combination. If i have three acoustic piezoelectrical sensors (with same receive sensitivity in dB ref V/1uPa) placed at specific distance, these sensors receive acoustic signal from a sound source placed at far field distance (Plane Wave) and from broadside. I receive output of these sensors through individual preamplifiers, add them through hardware like summer circuit adder or in software after digitization and in this way got an...

Thread 'Following up on the recent thread about Earth Resistance measurements'

I have recently moved into a new (rather ancient) house and had a few trips of my Residual Current breaker. I dug out my old Socket tester which tell me the three pins are correct. But then the Red warning light tells me my socket(s) fail the loop test. I never had this before but my last house had an overhead supply with no Earth from the company. The tester said "get this checked" and the man said the (high but not ridiculous) earth resistance was acceptable. I stuck a new copper earth...

Thread 'Beauty of old electrical and measuring things, etc.'

Even as a kid, I saw beauty in old devices. That made me want to understand how they worked. I had lots of old things that I keep and now reviving. Old things need to work to see the beauty. Here's what I've done so far. Two views of the gadgets shelves and my small work space: Here's a close up look at the meters, gauges and other measuring things: This is what I think of as surface-mount electrical components and wiring. The components are very old and shows how...
