Abstract
The criterion for the formation of a radiation wave zone of a charge moving in an arbitrary way is discussed. The appearance of a wave zone is investigated in detail for synchrotron radiation and radiation from a charge moving along a hyperbola. Special attention is given to the ultrarelativistic case.
