A fresnel lense has circular grooves in it. Way back in 1985 there were plans in Radio Electronics to build a flat satellite dish out of a sheet of plywood. They had cut slots in the plywood forming large circles on the sheet with each slot getting farther apart as it went toward the outside, and the author described it as comparing the "flat dish" to a fresnel lense in the way it was to focus the energy toward the center of the dish. That was the first time I ever heard of a fresnel lense. BTW, I never heard of any hobbyist ever building that dish. I doubt if it worked worth beans but would love to hear if anyone tried it.
