The Near Field (Fresnel)– Wave Interference (Maxima & Minima)<br />

The sound field <strong>of</strong> a transducer is divided into two zones; the near field and<br />

the far field. The near field is the region directly in front <strong>of</strong> the transducer<br />

where the echo amplitude goes through a series <strong>of</strong> maxima and minima and<br />

ends at the last maximum, at distance N from the transducer.
