Hello Forum,

near any radiating source like an antenna there is a region called the
reactive field: the E and H field are 90 degrees out of phase. The reactive
field is region where there is no radiated power......

It acts as a storage power. During one cycle power is given and taken
back...
I am having a hard time understanding what that means.
What does it means that energy is given and taken back? To what is it
given?
And why does it give it back?

It is said that if we are in the reactive field we can absorb energy and
also affect the behavior of the source. In the radiation field we can only
absorb energy.

what if the angle between E and H is not zero but either 90? What does that
mean?

Further away from an antenna the power becomes radiated and E and H are not
in phase...

thanks

How solid is your grasp of AC circuits? Do you know what aero power
factor means?

When a wave undergoes total internal reflection in a dielectric, there
is what is called an evanescent wave just outside the dielectric. The
evanescent wave decays exponentially with distance from the dielectric
surface and normally bleeds no power from the wave being reflected.
However, if a receiving element is placed close enough, some of the
power will enter it, diminishing the power being reflected. The geometry
of antennas makes the fields more difficult to visualize than the
corresponding case with prisms that I just described, but the math is
not much different. (The prism case is further simplified by total
internal reflection suppressing the radiated wave completely. There is
also -- in theory -- an evanescent wave with ordinary refraction, but I
know no practical way to demonstrate its presence.)

Hi

the same problem happen when there is an inductive load.
In this case percentage of energy come back.
For resolve this issue, you must apply a Condenser that compensate the
shift between I and V.

So for understand this phenomenon start to study Power Factor.
Search on Google "Power Factor.pdf"

Find the book "Antennas" by John D Kraus - he covers all of this in
great detail.
