Here is a simple exercise you can test an EMF calculator's grasp of reality.


Example 1, 400W to                            Example 2, 200W to
a Resonant Dipole.                            half of a Dipole
                                              inverted L.
            High

           Radiation                                  ///

dBd gain = 0dB                             dBd gain = -3dB (-2.4dB?)
True ERP = 400W, Figure 8 pattern          True ERP = 100W (150W), Omni pattern


The balanced feed represents no hazard, but the unbalanced feed wire against a
good ground is a problem until signal is in an unbalanced coax feed.

I am prity sure from first principles, that both of these aerials will have
the same high voltage at the ends (near field V/M field strength), but the true
ERPs are about 6dB different!

So for near field hazard results, both should produce the same safety distance
on a proper EMF safety near field calculator, but a 6dB difference (2x the
distance @ 400W) in far field non safety calculator.

Near field (transformer & capacitance effects) drops off at the cube of
distance rate (to 1/8 power @ 2x distance) for about the 1st wavelength or so,
then far fields @ square of distance (to 1/4 power for 2x distance) after that. 


Why don't U send an interesting bul?
