Abstract
The radiation fields from an electric dipole antenna in homogeneous Antarctic terrain are analyzed. The terrain is represented as a semi-infinite ice medium with a complex dielectric constant dependent upon temperature and frequency. The space and ground waves from a horizontal dipole are evaluated initially for different ice conditions. Similar evaluations arc extended to a vertical dipole to apply superposition to the general case of an inclined dipole in Antarctic ice.
