Maxwell's Equations: Introduction to dipole radiation/EM waves From space, a Starlink satellite antenna transmits a 40 kW signal at a frequency of 300 GHz radially at point source. If the signal is directed to a house on Earth 160 km away, find the: a. Amplitude of the electric and magnetic field strengths b. The energy incident normally on the house's square roof with 10 m sides in 20 minutes.Show more…

Step 1
First, we need to find the power density (W/m^2) at the location of the house. We can use the formula for power density at a distance r from a point source: $P_d = \frac{P}{4 \pi r^2}$ where $P$ is the power of the signal (40 kW) and $r$ is the distance to the Show more…
