3.3.3 Friis Equation

For the test setup a power meter is used to measure received power (Pr), the gain of the receiving antenna (Gr) is known, operating frequency and the distance of the receiving antenna to the EUT is measured. The unknown transmit power of the EUT TX chain is calculated using Friis equation, as in Equation 10.

Equation 10. EIRP(Friis)=PT×GT=PRGR×(4πDλ)2

where

  • Pr is the measured power
  • Gr is the gain of receive measurement antenna
  • D is the measurement distance
  • λ is the wave length
