Assessment of the Impacts Due to the Alternation of Ground Conductivity Over the Earth Wave Field Intensity in MW Band
By
Progress In Electromagnetics Research B, Vol. 4, 183-195, 2008
Abstract
Based on theoretical calculations, the field intensity resulting from a transmitter of medium wave (waves propagation) enjoys a significant increase in the paths where ground conductivity increase and in special environmental conditions even if far away from the transmitter. This phenomenon distinguishes coverage areas of a transmitter from common procedures of determining coverage. This article examines and observes the above-mention issue and its results.
