Abstract :
The influence of stratified Earth on the wave propagation characteristics of overhead conductors is analyzed, using a generalized two-layer Earth model of varying electromagnetic characteristics. A systematic comparison to simpler stratified Earth models is presented, showing the differences in the propagation characteristics.
