Abstract :
The virtual height versus frequency integral is derived, neglecting absorption and the earth´s magnetic field. It is shown how solution of this integral equation can be obtained using the Laplace transformation, and how true height versus frequency can be determined graphically from virtual height versus frequency curves. Application of the method is made to some typical nighttime and daytime ionosphere records.
