Loran-C Pulse Transient Propagation. Part I. Geophysical and Geological Data Base Evaluation for Loran-C Ground Wave Propagation Medium. Part II. Loran-C Ground Wave Secondary Phase Corrections over Nonhomogeneous and Irregular Ground Using Transient Signal Propagation Techniques. Part III. (With Addendum).

Abstract

The geophysical data available for a select propagation path for use in the study of the propagation of a Loran-C pulse is evaluated and recommendations for the initial estimates of ground geoelectric section resistivities is presented. A new rigorous technique for the computation and prediction of loran time difference coordinates from loran receiver geographic coordinates and visa versa is introduced by application to a specific loran overland situation. The full wave theoretical transient solution for the Loran-C pulse is employed. An experimental program to validate the theoretical transient solution for the Loran-C pulse is presented.
