Fresnel's zones in tasks on electromagnetic compatibility

According to the theory, Fresnel's zones of a different order differently influence a signal on the route of its distribution. The signals passing at the same time through odd and even zones in a point of reception are opposite on a phase. There is an opinion that this property can be sometimes used in interests of electromagnetic compatibility when, having artificially created the first and second zones of Fresnel on the route of distribution of a signal, it is possible to receive the suppressed interfering signal in a point of placement of potentially incompatible RES. Estimates of such suppression which were received by statistical modeling of the radio route in a cellular network are given in article. On the basis of results of modeling is shown the weak effect of weakening of a signal at two zones of Fresnel who cannot be sufficient for providing EMS in real communication networks.
