Magnetic-radiation detectability at a marginal far-field distance

ID: magnetic-radiation-detectability-at-a-marginal-far-field-distance

For a harmonic magnetic dipole observed with kr of order unity, its quasistatic, induction and radiation fields scale as , and and need not be cleanly separated experimentally. The radiated-power law remains an asymptotic flux statement, but alone does not specify the local detected field. Detectability further depends on directional pattern, plasma propagation, antenna coupling, bandwidth, integration and noise. A tiny nonzero vacuum radiation term does not by itself establish either a practical detection or an absolute impossibility.
