Lorentz Reciprocity Theorem Page 2
A more useful form of this theorem, applicable to antennas, is found by noticing that for electric
and magnetic fields observed a large distance from a source (e.g., a sphere of infinite radius
surrounding an antenna),
Using the latter relation, the integrand on the left hand side of (10) can be re-written as
(E 1 H 2 E 2 H 1 ) ndS = (n E 1 ) H 2 (n E 2 ) H 1 (11)
= H 1 H 2 H 2 H 1 (12)
= 0 (13)
Hence,
0
J 1 E 2 dv = J 2 E 1 dv 0 (14)

This is the form of the Reciprocity Theorem that is used in the analysis of receiving antennas.
