Which field term is responsible for radiated power?

  • A.The term varying as one over the range squared
  • B.The term varying as one over the range cubed
  • C.All three terms contribute equally to the far field
  • D.The term varying as one over the range

Answer: D

Only the inverse first power term gives a Poynting vector falling as the inverse square of range, so that the power through a sphere is independent of its radius, which is exactly what radiation means. The other terms carry energy outward and back again within a cycle and transport no net power. That is the cleanest way to distinguish radiation from stored energy, and it explains why the far field is defined by the dominance of a single term, whatever the antenna.
