In radiative coupling, the emitter radiation field_____________?

Correct answer: A. Decays as 1 / R, where R is the separation distance between the emitter and the receptor

  • A. Decays as 1 / R, where R is the separation distance between the emitter and the receptor
  • B. Decays as R, where R is the separation distance between the emitter and the receptor
  • C. Decays as 1 / 2 R, where R is the separation distance between the emitter and the receptor
  • D. Decays as 2R, where R is the separation distance between the emitter and the receptor

Explanation

In the far-field region, the radiated electric and magnetic field amplitudes spread spherically and decrease inversely with distance, as 1/R. Radiated power density decreases as 1/R², which is a common source of confusion.
