The distance of "one sixth lambda" comes from empirical data taken from a Hertzian dipole antenna. In his book Introduction to Electromagnetic Compatibility ISBN 0-471-54927-4, Clayton Paul writes: "The point where the 1/r3 (cubed) and 1/r2 (squared) terms become insignificant compared with th

Hello group. I substantially agree with the comments of Allen Tudor & Don Umbdenstock. My own view is : I believe the 40 dB / decade (of distance) is a approximation for extrapolating the measurement antenna location being reduced from 10 meter to 3 or possibly 1 meter in an effort to see t
