Abstract :
An investigation of ground waves at low and medium frequencies has shown that in cluttered or undulating terrain the electric field is reduced relative to the magnetic field. This reduction applies to the median value over large areas and has different characteristics dependent on type of terrain factor (buildings, trees or undulatlons).
