  • Abstract
    We show that the fields from a current line source, within a conducting-half-space, are only inadequately characterized by a positive real image in the air region. Such an assumption or assertion, as employed in previous electromagnetic compatibility (EMC) studies, is called into question. Buried cables are mentioned in particular
