Abstract :
This paper briefly summarizes the application of the FDTD method to the VLF-LF propagation and shows a numerical comparison with the waveguide method. Results also are provided to illustrate the possibility of accounting for non-plane grounds and the possibility of computing the propagation of lightning pulses
