摘要
We show that the evanescent part of the plane wave representation of the free-space dyadic Green function contributes to the far field only along a distinguished axis. The claim of contribution of evanescence in all directions is incorrect as it arises from a flawed procedure, but a limited version of that claim may have merit.
