Abstract :
A method is presented to compute the variable Edmax (maximum electric field) used in antenna calibration and site attenuation from a method of moments simulation. The method is especially useful for directional antennas such as log periodics where the dipole assumptions incorporated into the Edmax tables of ANSI C63.5 may not be adequate
