Default dBi?

For those who dislike, or are incapable of, theoretical analysis, how do
they
first create, and then measure, the output from an isotropic radiator?

I'm not sure what your question is.

But to create an isotropic radiator:
Assume that all power originates at a point, such that it can radiate
equally in all directions.

Then draw a sphere around the point at a radius of r and let the
calculations begin.

Easy. You build one and measure it:

It's not perfect for all polarizations, but it's close. The problem
is you have to put the transmitter inside the antenna or the
connecting coax cable will wreck the pattern. Oh wait... you don't
like theoretical analysis. Never mind.

It is a theoretical calculation from the basic physics of electromagnetic
radiation.

It is physically impossible to build a true isotropic radiator, but one
can get close.

I am, in fact, challenging those who decry with rudeness theoretical
discussions,
but then talk about gains in dBi terms.

Your question was answered: It is a theoretical calculation from the
basic physics of electromagnetic radiation.

What is your problem with that?

It is just a reference, Gareth. That's all.

Same question as:

HOW DO YOU FIRST CREATE AND THEN MEASURE ONE VOLT?

Has been done 100 years ago.
Only a few specialists care how to make reproduceable
physical calibration standards.

Weston Standard Cell, and then a potentiometer in the true sense ofthe
world,
marked off with a ruler?
