Abstract:The near field analysis of antennas is necessary in the Near Field Communication(NFC), Electromagnetic Compatibility(EMC), array antenna design and so on. Accurate and efficient method of near field analysis plays an important role in the distribution control and the leading mechanism of the near field. In view of the typical magnetic dipole antenna(electrically small loop) for near field theory research, the near field energy distribution, active power(radiation power) distribution and reactive power(non-radiation power) distribution are analyzed. The average Poynting vector could be calculated through the magnetic dipole field component and then the relation between the stored energy and the radiation energy can be qualitatively analyzed. At the same time, the small electric loop near field stored energy flow in the physical image is given. The average electric field energy density and the average magnetic energy density are also calculated and compared.
