We have an exciting announcement about badges coming in May 2025. Until then, we will temporarily stop issuing new badges for course completions and certifications. However, all completions will be recorded and fulfilled after May 2025.

Hi there! 

P=|V|^2/R. If the port impedance is 50 ohms, you need to excite the port with sqrt(50) volts to results in 1W incident power at the port. Note that accepted power by the antenna depends on the input impedance at the port and associated mismatch.Â
