There is some misunderstanding regarding the terms antenna factor and the antenna gain. Both the items are related to field but in a different way.

Antenna factor

The antenna factor is specified in 1/m, and is added to the reading of the spectrum analyser, which is in dBuV. Both units are logarithmic so adding one factor to the other is the same as multiplying them in a linear scale. The resulting unit is the dBuV/m,
