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

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.
