For a Hertzian dipole of length driven at peak electric current , the electric dipole moment amplitude is . ConsequentlyThe Hertzian dipole fixed-current power scaling is thus , givingThe inverse-fourth-power wavelength scaling would hold at fixed electric dipole moment, not at the fixed electric current specified here.
