2.5. Field Strength Calculation
The field strength is calculated by adding the Antenna Factor and Cable Factor,
and subtracting the Amplifier Gain (if any) from the measured reading. The basic
equation with a sample calculation is as follow:

FS = RA + AF + CF – AG

Where           FS   =   Field Strength
                RA   =   Receiver Amplitude
                AF   =   Antenna Factor
                CF   =   Cable Factor
                AG   =   Amplifier Gain

Assume a receiver reading of 52.5dBµV is obtained. The antenna factor of 7.4 and
a cable factor of 1.1 is added. The amplifier gain of 29dB is subtracted, giving
a field strength of 32 dBµV/m.

FS = 52.5 + 7.4 + 1.1 – 29 = 32 dBµV/m

The 32 dBµV/m value can be mathematically converted to its corresponding level in
µV/m.

Level in µV/m = Common Antilogarithm [(32dBµV/m)/20] = 39.8 µV/m.
