Hi Kate, Not sure about practical, but ISO 11452 Part 3 describes the calculation method for the electric field inside a TEM cell.
It uses the formula |E| = sqrt(P x Z) / d Where |E| is the absolute value of electric field measured in Volts/m P is the net power, in watts, to be understood as total forward power - total reflected power, Z is the characteristic impedance of the TEM cell in ohms ( typically 50 Ohms) and d is the separation in metres, between the floor and the septum of the TEM cell ( about half the height of the cell).

Does anyone out there have practical formulas (and/or any other useful information...) relating power to the E-field? Many thanks in advance, Cheers, Kate Kathy M.
