Chris two other points 1. How far from the aerial are you taking the measurement .....you need to be at least 300 to 500 metres away 2 Because of ground loss problems even the best (fully in the clea
Many thanks for the rapid replies gentlemen; they are very much appreciated. Rik, thanks for the explanation of the two formulae and I've inserted that ERP formula into my spreadsheet now - excellent
Hello Chris, a lazy-L of 9m by 40m should have a radiation resistance (Rrad) of +/- 0.25 Ohm. If you know the antenna current (I) you can calculated the EIRP = G*I^2*Rrad where G = the antenna gain (
Dear Rik, Many thanks again for the most useful explanation. Some of my past career was spent in an electrical calibration lab. so I cannot get used to the scatter of readings I get with field streng
