Abstract
This paper investigates the effect of frequency on the magnetic field (H-field) strength at a specified distance from a single turn transmitting (TX) loop antenna in free-space. The H-field of a TX loop antenna in the Near Field (NF) region can be estimated using Biot-Savartâ s Law (BSL). However, the BSL method is only valid for DC current flow and does not consider the effects of frequency on the H-field strength. This work introduces the frequency-dependent Antenna Near Field (ANF) method reported in the literature and compares this method against the BSL method and EM simulation results. It is shown that the ANF method can estimate the H-field magnitude with an error of less than 5% when compared with finite-element methods (FEM). In addition, the ANF method computes in a fraction of a second, whereas the FEM method takes several minutes to compute.
