Abstract :
The radiation fields of dipoles immersed in a semi-infinite dissipative medium are investigated. A method suggested by Lighthill for asymptotic evaluation of Fourier integrals is suitably modified to obtain solutions valid for large distances both in air and in the conducting medium. The advantages of this method are in its simplicity and ease of application. The results agree closely with those obtained earlier by Baños and Wesley.
