The omnidirectional antenna, which is used as a reference, should, in principle, emit identical waves in all directions when excited. This means that if this antenna receives energy "E," that energy is distributed uniformly at a distance "D" from the radar over a sphere with radius "D."
The energy density at a given point on this sphere is therefore given by:
