Summary
The various forms of the solution of Maxwell's equations for the propagation of low frequencies in the waveguide between a spherical earth and a concentric ionosphere are given in concise form. A tutorial discussion is given of the various solutions to acquaint experimenters with the practical techniques which are available. An important feature of all the solutions given is the accommodation of the effect of the effect of the variation with height of the electrical properties of the upper boundary (ionosphere). The forms of the waveguide solution include the zonal harmonics series for the total field, the mode sum and the geometric (wavehop) series. The connections between the various forms are clearly shown. The discussion is illustrated by sample calculations of the geometric series type solution for normal day and night.
