From page 82...
... , q.v. FAR AND NEAR FIELDS; The E and H fields of an electromagnetic wave that is propagating in a uniform medium are always at right angles to each other and to the line of propagation in the "far field"; however, waves near an emitting source are complex in the sense that relative magnitudes and orientations of E and H fields can each vary greatly.
From page 83...
... In order to convey information by radiating electromagnetic energy, it must be modulated. MULTIPATH RADIATION; In contrast with a so-called plane wave, which moves in a straight line through space, an area or volume where electromagnetic waves arrive from different directions because of reflection or multiple sources is said to be the site of multipath radiation.
From page 84...
... . TIME-AVERAGED POWER DENSITY; The integral of the product of the instantaneous power density of pulsed electromagnetic radiation and the pulse duration taken over a characteristic sampling interval and divided by the duration of the sampling interval.
