Calculator Notes

Electric field conversions are based on far field calculations and the characteristic impedance of free space (120π Ω or 377 Ω).  When the distance (d) from the source exceeds λ/2π, the wave impedance (ratio of the E-field to the H-field) becomes constant at 377 ohms in free space.  This is defined as the far field.
Magnetic flux density (T) conversions are based on the permeability in free space (μo= 4π x 10-7 Henrys/m).

H = Magnetic field strength in amps per meter (A/m).

E = Electric field strength in volts per meter (V/m).  This applies to far field calculations (d > λ/2π).  Far field is generally at least 1/6 wavelengths from the antenna.  E(V/m) = (5.5*sqrt(PG))/d.

P = Power (watts) into the antenna feedpoint.  This applies to antenna far field calculations using E(V/m).

dB = Decibel, (10 Log10P).

π = pi = 3.14159265.

µ = micro = 10E-6.

m = milli = 10E-3.

dBw = Decibels relative to one watt.

dBm = Decibels relative to one milliwatt.

dBV = Decibels relative to one volt.

dBµV = Decibels relative to one microvolt.

dBµA = Decibels relative to one microamp.

dBpT = Magnetic flux density (B) in decibels relative to one pico Tesla (pT).

V = Volts.

A = Amps.

W = Watts.

m = Meters, unit of length (39.37 inches).

W/m2 = Watts per square meter (power density).

mW/cm2 = Milliwatts per square centimeter (power density).

V/m = Volts per meter (electric field strength).

dBm/m2 = Electric field power density in decibels relative to one milliwatt per square meter.

dBW/m2 = Electric field power density in decibels relative to one watt per square meter.

Gain (G) = Antenna far field numeric gain relative to an isotropic radiator (antenna that radiates equally in all directions, 360 degree beamwidth).

dBi = Decibels-isotropic, relative to an isotropic radiator.

T = Teslas. Flux Density (T) = (Wb)/(m2).

µT = MicroTeslas.

Wb = Webers. Flux (Wb) = Flux Density (T) x Area (m2).

A/m = Amperes per meter.

Shielding (SdB) = Shielding effectiveness in decibels. Shielding effectiveness (S) is the ratio of the EMI field strength outside the shield to the field strength inside the shield.

Attenuation (%Att) = Percentage attenuation of a shield.
