  • Abstract
    Curves are given from which, by two interpolations, the reflection coefficient of the ground can be determined for any angle of incidence or any value of dielectric constant and conductivity of that surface. Curves are given for the two cases in which the electric vector of the incident radiation is polarized in and perpendicular to the plane of incidence respectively, so that the reflection coefficient can also be determined for any state of polarization.
