ELF AND VLF WAVES IN THE SPHERICAL GUIDE BETWEEN THE EARTH AND THE IONOSPHERE.

Abstract

The wave guide is excited by vertical or horizontal electric or magnetic dipole sources, and its boundaries are characterized by surface impedances. The resulting waves are expressed as a superposition of TM and TE modes. The wave numbers, excitation factors, height-gain functions, and height-dependent impedances are examined for both types of modes. (Author)
