The Wireless Power Calculator is a web-based tool to estimate the amount of RF power available at the receiver, and the amount of RF power that is converted to DC.
Powercast’s Wireless Power Calculator
This calculator is based on Friis equation and is intended for estimating or planning purposes only. For more information or to discuss your custom application, contact us.
