  • Abstract
    The analysis of King (1990) of the electromagnetic field of a vertical electric dipole over an imperfectly conducting half-space is applied to obtain the far field when the dipole is at a specified height d. The contributions by the space wave with its 1/r dependence and the lateral surface wave with its 1/r2 dependence are separated and studied in detail when the dipole is over a wide range of media such as sea water, wet and dry Earth, lake water and dry sand. Graphs of the far-field patterns are shown
