Effective power radiated by an antenna:

The power radiated is proportional to \left ( \frac{l }{\lambda} \right )^{2}. It shows that for the
same antenna length, the power radiated increases with decreasing \lambda i.e., increasing frequency. Hence, the effective power radiated by a long-wavelength baseband signal would be small. For a good transmission, we need high powers and hence this also points out the need of using high-frequency transmission.
