What is the Fresnel region of an aperture antenna?

  • A.The volume immediately at the aperture in which energy is merely stored
  • B.The zone around the focal point in which a feed may usefully be placed
  • C.The radiating near field where the pattern still varies with distance
  • D.The region beyond the far field boundary where the inverse square law holds

Answer: C

Between the reactive near field and the far field lies the Fresnel or radiating near field, where power flows outward but the pattern has not settled into its final shape. Near field scanners work in it and transform the result. The far field is Fraunhofer, the storage zone is reactive, and the focal region is a separate idea belonging to focused apertures. Naming the three regions and knowing what changes between them prevents most confusion about where a measurement is valid.
