from __future__ import division
from math import sqrt, log10
#Given
Pt1=100#Radiated power
Pt2=30# Reduced Power 
r=1#assume distance to be unity for easeof calculation
E1=300*sqrt(100)/r
E2=300*sqrt(30)/r
E=20*log10((E2/E1))# Reduction in field strength in dBs
print 'Field strength will reduce by %0.2f dBs'%(-E)

Field strength will reduce by 5.23 dBs

In [2]:
#Given
P=3#Transmitter power
ht=100# Antenna height
G=5#Antenna gain
d=20e3#distance
lamda=1
hr=1#assumed
E=((88*G*ht*hr*P**0.5)/(lamda*d**2))#field strength
print 'The field strength at distance 20km is %0.2f uV/m'%(E*1e6)

The field strength at distance 20km is 190.53 uV/m
