Antenna Radiation Efficiency

Calculate radiation efficiency as radiated power divided by accepted power ×100. Mismatch loss before power is accepted at the antenna port is not included.

Description

Calculate radiation efficiency as radiated power divided by accepted power ×100. Mismatch loss before power is accepted at the antenna port is not included.

Antenna Radiation Efficiency: Calculate radiation efficiency as radiated power divided by accepted power ×100. Mismatch loss before power is accepted at the antenna port is not included.

When to use Antenna Radiation Efficiency

Use this electronics calculation for a first-pass component, converter, signal, motor, or sensor estimate when the stated operating conditions and units match the device data.

Radiated power (W)
Required number input.
Accepted power (W)
Required number input.

How Antenna Radiation Efficiency works

Calculate radiation efficiency as radiated power divided by accepted power ×100. Mismatch loss before power is accepted at the antenna port is not included. The tool evaluates the supplied inputs together and returns the named outputs below; it does not infer omitted operating conditions or change the units shown.1

Efficiency Percent
The resulting efficiency percent returned as a number.

Limitations and assumptions

  • Antenna formulas assume stated frequency, impedance match, polarization, efficiency, aperture, and propagation geometry. Nearby objects, ground, feed loss, multipath, regulatory averaging, near-field conditions, and pattern variation can make free-space or ideal-aperture results inaccurate.
  • Use finite inputs in the displayed units and preserve more precision than the final presentation requires. Independently verify safety-critical, financial, compliance, or production decisions.

Alternative or Complementary approaches

Check the result against the current datasheet and worst-case operating corners, then verify the circuit or measurement with simulation and bench testing where failure matters.
