Abstract :
Horizontal and vertical dipole antennas above and below the surface of the earth are discussed. The earth includes soil, tundra, ice, and water. Parameters are the signal frequency, loss tangent or conductivity, and dielectric constant. An optimistic or sanguine approach is used for an evaluation of a system which reverses the usual direction of higher frequencies, lower noise, and greater efficiencies.
