Abstract

Characteristic of ground-wave propagation and approximate calculation technique of electric field intensity over the inhomogeneous surface is investigated. The attenuation factor of ground-wave propagating along two kinds of mixed path is calculated, the consequences is also compared and analyzed. Finally, guidance is given for the appropriate selection of geology in the area where transmitting and receiving antenna are installed.
