Penetration of Pulsed Electromagnetic Waves into Conducting Media

Abstract

The distributions of steady state and of transient electromagnetic plane waves at the surface of separation between air and ground (or sea) was computed. These distributions are important for such applications as undersea and geodetic explorations from points located outside the conducting media; the methods of measurement may be simplified by use of a transmission line analogy, which permits the use of comparison or of substitution methods. In addition, it was shown that if a rectangular pulse d-c magnetic plane wave is transmitted from a point within the conducting medium and received at another point of the same, the system may be used for purposes of ranging or for purposes of communication between transmitting and receiving stations.
