About

This app estimates field strength and power flux density based on transmitted power, frequency, and antenna gain. It calculates received power at a receiver and automatically converts power flux density to electric and magnetic field strength. It provides theoretical best-case values, not accounting for real-world propagation impairments.

Handy

This has been my go-to app in field strength and signal level calculation. Use it constantly as it is useful and convenient.

Use this a lot

This app is very handy when calculating receiver power and similar parameters.

Perfect!

This tool is exactly what’s needed to estimate RF field strength at various power levels, distances and antenna gains. It’s very helpful being able to directly convert between the relevant units like dBm, watts, uV/m, etc.

Superbly done. Thank you!!
