Influence of inclination angles for antennas buried in Arctic terrain on space wave radiation

Space wave radiation fields for an inclined electric dipole antenna in Arctic and Antarctic terrain are formulated with the results from superposition of fields for horizontal and vertical dipoles. Boundary conditions and the Fourier-Bessel transforms are applied to the wave equations in each layer of the multilayer media used as the terrain model. Integral expressions are obtained in closed form in terms of the media parameters. Homogeneous and stratified media, with ice above sea water or soil, are described. The inclination angles for optimum (maximum) space wave fields in a fixed polar angle are obtained for both types of terrain. Patterns of the radiation fields are presented for several terrain conditions and inclination angles.
