Height-Gain Atlas for an Elemental Vertical Electric Dipole Above a Flat Earth,

Abstract : The complex height-gain for an infinitesimal vertical electric dipole (VED) above each of five homogeneous flat surfaces representative of sea water, well-conducting earth, poorly conducting earth, fresh water, and ice is calculated at 0.1, 1, 10, and 100 MHz for selected ranges. The amplitude and phase of the three cylindrical electromagnetic field components are given for source elevations of 0, 3/4, and 3/2 wavelengths in sets of 36 tables and 48 figures for each of the five types of surfaces.
