  • Abstract
    You will find in the theoretical part (& II) of this paper, the formulas obtained by the geometrical theory of diffraction (G.T.D.) which allow to calculate the electric field in the near zone of a circular aperture. The numerical calculus (& III) made from these formulas, in the case of D/¿ = 27 allowed us to establish transversal sections and radiation patterns to 4 Rr, Rr and Rr/2. Their comparison with reference results established by the electromagnetic theory (E.M.T.) (& IV) authorizes us to draw a conclusion (& V) on the interest of the G.T.D. in the near zone of a circular aperture.
