Thus, to get better result, the monitor should be closer, and the simulaiton area along the monitor should be large enough and the monitor edge should have almost zero intensity. It can be very challenge when a dipole radiates in -90 to 90 deg, eg, the strongest radiation is along the monitor surface. This is related to dipole polarization.&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;&nbsp;&lt;\/p&gt;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"template":"","class_list":["post-290457","reply","type-reply","status-publish","hentry"],"aioseo_notices":[],"aioseo_head":"\n\t\t<!-- All in One SEO 4.9.10 - aioseo.com -->\n\t<meta name=\"description\" content=\"1: this webiste https:\/\/optics.ansys.com\/hc\/en-us\/articles\/360034914813-Integrating-power-in-far-field-projections is correct for calculation the power in the farfield.2: usually you do not need to place the monitor far away to be twice the wavelength, except you simulate larger volume.
