	Fresnel zone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In optics and radio communications, a Fresnel zone (pronounced FRA-nel Zone), named for physicist Augustin-Jean Fresnel, is one of a (theoretically infinite) number of a concentric ellipsoids of revolution which define volumes in the radiation pattern of a (usually) circular aperture.
		The concept of Fresnel zones may also be used to analyze interference by obstacles near the path of a radio beam.
		For establishing Fresnel zones, we must first determine the RF Line of Sight (RF LoS), which in simple terms is a straight line between the transmitting and receiving antennas.

	Fresnel integral - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		In mathematics and optics, the two Fresnel integrals, S(x) and C(x), arise in the description of near field Fresnel diffraction phenomena, and are the integrals defined as follows:
		It is possible (but not trivial) to evaluate the Fresnel integrals in the limits, we have
		As R goes to infinity, the integral around the line segment on the edge of the circle will tend to 0, the one along the real axis will tend to the well known Gaussian integral

	Fresnel Integrals (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		Fresnel functions are integrals that involve quadratic equations in the sine and cosine functions.
		The Fresnel integrals are used in diffraction theory.
		If you have an integral with an x^2 in the sine or cosine function, then all you have to do is isolate part of the equation that is identitcal to the definitions above.

	Abstract (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The accuracy and efficiency of the numerical quadrature of the Kirchhoff integrals is studied.
		The Fresnel zones are then derived as the minimum areas of integration with the specified accuracy.
		The definition of Fresnel zones is expressed in terms of the first and second derivatives of the sum of travel times along the surface of integration.

		Give the result of the integral for each N value and comment on how error changes with N. Use the Romberg integration method to compute the integral by using the composite Simspson’s rule for N=1,2,4,8,16.
		Give the result of the integral for each N value and compare the error with the corresponding error in the trapezoidal rule (Note that to make a fair comparison, the total number of data points used in each method must be same).
		Compute the integral by using the Gaussian quadrature method with 8 points.The data points (abscissas) and weights for 8 data points are given in files abscissas.dat and weights.dat, respectively.

		This is, in actuality, claiming that the ``ringing" seen in Fresnel integrals has died out by the end of the particular integration frame.
		Therein we also show a very elegant fact: two ways of conceptualizing the attenuation of the sinusoids are mathematically equivalent.
		Those methods are the liftering mentioned in the second bullet above, and consideration of the Hann window as a direct attenuator of Fresnel ringing in the time domain.

	Integrals
		An example of a definite integral can be thought of as finding the area under a curve (as represented by an algebraic expression or function) between particular values of the function's variable.
		In practice, integral calculus provides scientists with a powerful tool for doing calculations that involve a continually varying quantity (such as determining the position at any given instant of a space rocket that is accelerating away from Earth).
		The Expression Calculator can calculate integrals with a precision that often rivals with powerful mathematical software such as Mathematica or Maple.
