Measurement Techniques Aims and scope

A model of the electrodynamic interaction of pyramidal horns in the Fresnel zone to take into account the curvature of the wavefront when measuring the gain is proposed. The results of experimental investigations to reduce the error in measuring the gain in the Fresnel zone are presented.
