Passing through even number of Fresnel zones are constructive in nature. Providing constructive and destructive interference to the total received signal. The successive Fresnel zones have the effect of alternately Whether a component is constructive or destructive in nature, will depend on theįresnel zone number. $\lambda/2$ greater than components traversing in the preceding i:e (n-1)th Fresnel zone. Up or try to nullify the strong LOS component.Īlso, signal components traversing through the nth Fresnel zone travel a distance of Since the components are traversing through different path lengths, they can either add Some important points that the reader should note are: $\lambda/2$ greater than the total path length of a line-of-sight path. n is the path loss exponent of the environment.įresnel zones represent successive regions where secondary waves have a path length from the d2 refers to the distance between Rx and obstruction. The strong signal gets divided into multi-pathĬomponents and reaches the receiver through multiple zones as shown in Figure 6.ĭ1 refers to the distance between Tx and obstruction. The waves can arrive at different times and will be slightly out of The path difference around an obstruction is explained by Fresnel zones.įresnels Zones: Transmitted electromagnetic waves can follow slightly different pathsīefore reaching a receiver, especially if there are obstructions or reflecting objectsīetween the two. The concept of diffraction loss as a function of When the signal bends around the obstruction a loss is Secondary wavelets, and that these wavelets combine to produce a new wavefront in That all points on a wavefront can be considered as point sources for the production of The phenomenon of diffraction can be explained by Huygen's principle, which states (shadowed) region, the diffraction field still exists and often has sufficient strength to Although the receivedįield strength decreases rapidly as a receiver moves deeper into the obstructed Diffraction allows radio signals to propagate around the curved surface of theĮarth, beyond the horizon, and to propagate behind obstructions. Of an obstacle or through an aperture into the region of geometrical shadow of the It is defined as the bending of waves around the corners To understand this model, it is necessary to know the concept of Fresnel zone.ĭiffraction: Diffraction refers to various phenomena that occur when a waveĮncounters an obstacle or a slit. Knife Edge diffraction model is used for a pure diffractive environment. This model was developed by Scientists Fresnel and Kirchhoff.
