electromagnetism - Effective aperture of isotropic antenna


I have always taken for granted that 'the aperture of a loss-less isotropic antenna is $\dfrac {\lambda^2} {4\pi}$'.


On a whim, I tried to look up how this expression was derived, but so far I have not been able to find out a reference that works it out. Can someone outline the proof, or help me with any pointers to some on-line source? Hopefully this can be done using 3D vector calculus?


Thanks...
