Propagation of SLF/ELF Electromagnetic Waves [electronic resource] / by Weiyan Pan, Kai Li.

Historical and Technical Overview of SLF/ELF Electromagnetic Wave Propagation -- Excitation and Propagation of SLF/ELF Electromagnetic Waves in the Earth-Ionosphere Waveguide/Cavity -- Spherical Harmonic Series Solution for SLF/ELF Field in Earth-Ionosphere Waveguide/Cavity -- SLF/ELF Field in Air and Ionosphere Generated by Earthquake Radiation Source -- Propagation of SLF/ELF Waves in Anisotropic Ionosphere -- ELF Wave Propagation along Sea-Rock Boundary and Marine Controlled-Source Electromagnetics Method -- Radiation and Propagation of SLF/ELF Electromagnetic Waves of Space Borne Transmitter -- Atmospheric Noises in SLF/ELF Ranges.

This book deals with the SLF/ELF wave propagation, an important branch of electromagnetic theory. The SLF/ELF wave propagation theory is well applied in earthquake electromagnetic radiation, submarine communication, thunderstorm detection, and geophysical prospecting and diagnostics. The propagation of SLF/ELF electromagnetic waves is introduced in various media like the earth-ionospheric waveguide, ionospheric plasma, sea water, earth, and the boundary between two different media or the stratified media. Applications in the earthquake electromagnetic radiation and the submarine communications are also addressed. This book is intended for scientists and engineers in the fields of radio propagation and EM theory and applications.
