• Fresnel Zone Clearance: Have a look at my paper for a brief explanation of Fresnel Zones and an application of this concept. Fresnel Zone clearance is required to avoid unwanted reflections of a radio signal at the receiving antenna.
• Antenna Measurement Laboratory Manual: This is a good basic introduction to antenna measurement.
