  • Abstract
    The subsurface electromagnetic fields of a line source with a delta function current are considered. All displacement currents are neglected. The time-dependent electric and magnetic fields at the buried observer are illustrated. The resulting waveforms all have a leading spike followed by a slowly decaying tail of opposite polarity. The results have possible application to downlink signaling in mine rescue work.
