Is radio path chanell respone symmetry ?

AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the concept of reciprocity in radio channel response, questioning whether the channel response from transmitter to receiver (T->R) is the same as from receiver to transmitter (R->T). It asserts that reciprocity holds true under ideal conditions, meaning the same signal level should be received if the roles of transmitter and receiver are reversed. The conversation also highlights the impact of knife diffraction effects, particularly in relation to the Fresnel zone, emphasizing that diffraction is a common occurrence in RF links. Overall, the principle of reciprocity is affirmed as long as environmental conditions remain consistent. Understanding these principles is crucial for effective RF communication.

Hello
assume I sample signal between Transmiter to Reciver T->R
Is the chanell respone would be the same to R->T also?

especially I wonder about knife difraction effect ( Fresnel zone )

You seem to be referring to the principle of 'Reciprocity' which says that a receiver and transmitter can be transposed in a link, all things being equal, and the same signal level will be received.
I think it holds good as long as you can be sure that the conditions are strictly adhered to. The diffraction situation would also hold - because every RF link involves diffraction. Sometimes it's more obvious than at other times.
 
Thread 'Weird near-field phenomenon I get in my EM simulation'
I recently made a basic simulation of wire antennas and I am not sure if the near field in my simulation is modeled correctly. One of the things that worry me is the fact that sometimes I see in my simulation "movements" in the near field that seems to be faster than the speed of wave propagation I defined (the speed of light in the simulation). Specifically I see "nodes" of low amplitude in the E field that are quickly "emitted" from the antenna and then slow down as they approach the far...
Hello dear reader, a brief introduction: Some 4 years ago someone started developing health related issues, apparently due to exposure to RF & ELF related frequencies and/or fields (Magnetic). This is currently becoming known as EHS. (Electromagnetic hypersensitivity is a claimed sensitivity to electromagnetic fields, to which adverse symptoms are attributed.) She experiences a deep burning sensation throughout her entire body, leaving her in pain and exhausted after a pulse has occurred...
