===Defining The Far Field Box===

For any far field calculations in [[EM.Cube]], first you have to define a far field observable in the Navigation Tree. In [[FDTD Module]], defining a far field observable also initiates a far field box in the computational domain. This box is used to perform the near-to-far-field transformation at the end of an FDTD simulation. To insert a new far field box, follow these steps:
After closing the Far Field Dialog, a far field entry immediately appears with its given name under the '''Far Fields''' item of the '''Observables''' section in the Navigation Tree. A far field box shows up as a light blue wireframe box in the project workspace. You can right click on the far field item's name in the navigation tree and select '''Properties...''' to open up the radiation pattern dialog for further editing. Bear in mind that a full 3D radiation pattern calculation with a high angular resolution might be very time-consuming.
