This tool calculates the Antenna Factor (AF) from the Antenna Gain (G) and Frequency of operation (f).
Antenna Factor to Gain Calculator
Formula
AF = 20*Log10(9.73/(λ√G))
where,
λ = c/f
c is the speed of light, f is the operating frequency and λ is the wavelength.
How to use the Calculator
Enter
- Antenna gain in dBi – this is typically provided by manufacturers in the data-sheet
- Frequency of operation (in MHz)
An example calculation: for a gain of 8 dBi and frequency of 915 MHz, the Antenna Factor is 21.50 dB/m.
