Abstract
The performance of antenna systems is always influenced by diffraction effects. Diffraction problems may be analysed using physical optics or geometrical theory of diffraction. Here, the Fresnel field of a rectangular aperture with serrated edges is analysed using physical optics. The method can be applied very succesfully in compact antenna test range design for a fast prediction of the test-zone field performance.
