+The [tidy3d.PointDipole](https://docs.flexcompute.com/projects/tidy3d/en/latest/api/_autosummary/tidy3d.PointDipole.html) source placed in a lossless homogeneous material injects power close to the [analytically expected](https://docs.flexcompute.com/projects/tidy3d/en/latest/faq/docs/faq/How-are-results-normalized.html#source-power-normalization) result for an infinitesimal antenna with oscillating current. There can be a small difference from the analytical result due to the finite grid, which disappears in the limit of high resolution. To calculate the radiated power of a dipole in the presence of dispersive, lossy, or non-homogeneous materials, you can use a [tidy3d.FluxMonitor](https://docs.flexcompute.com/projects/tidy3d/en/latest/api/_autosummary/tidy3d.FluxMonitor.html) box. Refer to this [notebook](https://www.flexcompute.com/tidy3d/examples/notebooks/BullseyeCavityPSO/) for an example.
