This Fresnel region is a region where the electric field intensity changes due to the influence of obstacles (that is, diffraction, reflection, etc.), and the propagation at the reception point of the wave is affected not only by direct waves (straight waves) but also by diffraction waves or reflected waves . A region in which an obstacle giving an influence of a reflection or a diffraction wave should not be present in a certain region of an elliptical shape is called a first Fresnel region.
