Synonym intermediate-field region.

For an antenna, the transition region--lying between the near-field region and the far-field region--in which the field strength of an electromagnetic wave is dependent upon the inverse distance, inverse square of the distance, and the inverse cube of the distance from the antenna.
Note: For an antenna that is small compared to the wavelength in question, the intermediate-field region is… (Read More →)
