Total Radiated Power of Oscillating Dipole Calculator

Calculate Oscillating Dipole Radiated Power

C·m
Enter the maximum value of the dipole moment (charge × separation).
Hz
Specify the operating frequency of the oscillating dipole.

Uncover the total radiated power from an oscillating electric dipole quickly and accurately. This tool helps engineers and students determine the electromagnetic energy emitted by a small antenna based on its peak dipole moment and operating frequency, crucial for understanding RF propagation and antenna efficiency in various applications.

Formula:

The total radiated power (P) from an oscillating electric dipole is calculated using the formula:

P = (4 × μ₀ × p₀2 × π3 × f4) / (3 × c3)

  • P: Total Radiated Power (Watts)
  • μ₀: Permeability of Free Space (approximately 4π × 10⁻⁷ H/m)
  • p₀: Peak Electric Dipole Moment (Coulomb-meters, C·m)
  • π: Pi (approximately 3.14159)
  • f: Frequency (Hertz, Hz)
  • c: Speed of Light in Vacuum (approximately 3 × 10⁸ m/s)
