near surface propagation/ A9260 Lower atmosphere B5210C Radiowave propagationThe propagation of radio waves round a spherical earth is treated by an alternative to the common method of modified refractive index. It is shown that, in a spherically stratified isotropic medium, equations for the radial...
Since n < 1, the phase velocity of propagation of the wave vph = c/n > c. The propagation velocity of the energy (the group velocity of the wave) in the ionosphere is equal to cn; in accordance with relativity theory, the group velocity is less than c. REFLECTION. For a wave such...
Introduction Understanding radio wave propagation can mean the difference between making and missing a contact to a particular part of the world. This presentation examines propagation in the HF (3 to 30 MHz) region, which includes the 80, 60, 40, 30, 20, 17, 15, 12, and 10 meter bands...
Radio Range Theory A range station was always positioned several miles off the end of the airport main runway. One of the “legs” pointed at the runway and other “legs” pointed toward adjacent airports (with fine orientation using phasing) ...
Hop Geometry The longest hop possible on the HF bands is approximately 2500 miles Longer distances are covered by multiple hop propagation. When the refracted radio wave returns to earth, it is reflected back up towards the ionosphere, which begins another hop. ...
The ‘Waveguide mode’ theory of radio wave propagation when the ionosphere is not sharply boundedThe propagation of radio waves to great distances can be treated by considering the space between the earth and the ionosphere as a wave guide and discussing the properties of the various waveguide ...
integrals using a modified path for the steepest descent method and also using a purely numerical methodology. Finally, an optical analog is described based on the image theory developed by Van der Pol to illustrate the mechanism of radio wave propagation in a cellular wireless communication system...
