Surface Wave Conversion at a Surface Impedance Discontinuity over the Earth.

Abstract

Mixed-path propagation along a plane Earth is studied by applying the rigorous theory of scattering by a surface impedance discontinuity. The theory, originally available only for the normal incidence case, has been extended to the oblique incidence case. Results of the analysis have been specified to the case of surface wave incidence and to the case of a magnetic line excitation. (Author)
