Although the real part of the complex Poynting vector, P → cannot be strictly interpreted to indicate power flow, its previous use for this purpose has produced no logical inconsistencies. Results of Re ( P → ) for sources in lossy media, for plane waves interacting with a lossy half‐space, and for Hertzian sources located near a lossy ground have been generated. The power flow results for these problems provide unexpected but physically consistent results.
