Use the ideal electrically short Hertzian dipole, , with negligible ohmic loss. Far-field statements additionally require an observation distance large compared with the wavelength and source dimensions. These assumptions distinguish its radiation from near-field coupling and from scattering by a general extended antenna structure.
