Abstract :
A method for predicting power density levels near transmitting parabolic Earth station antennas is described. The Fresnel region analysis applies to circular aperture antennas with an appropriate aperture amplitude distribution, and can be used to predict power densities along the antenna boresight or at off-boresight angles
