Determining the Specific Ground Conductivity Aided by the Horizontal Electric Dipole Antenna Near the Ground Surface

Abstract

Abstract-The ground conductivity is the most important factor in the transmitter's coverage area in ground wave propagation. Regarding the day-to-day increase in digital broadcasting, a lower sensitivity of this kind of broadcasting and ability to create single frequency networks, it seems necessary to increase the accuracy of ground conductivity to minimize fading zones. The higher the abovementioned conductivity, the lower the ground wave attenuation. Also in this case, the transmitted wave will tilt less towards the ground to satisfy the boundary conditions in electric conductivity and so-called will enter the earth. In most of the presented papers to determine the field strength, conductivity is considered as known, but it's dependent upon the soil genus, the annual/monsoon precipitation and the heat average. Here it is intended to provide a new method based on Mie algorithm to determine the conductivity based on the difference of Horizontal Electric Dipole near the ground. The previous conductivity measurements included determining it in a point by point manner in a low frequency and determining the conductivity based on the coverage area intensity. The new method holds the two methods advantages together. 44Makki, Ershadi, and Abrishamian

Radar Target Recognition by Projected Features of Frequency-Diversity RCS

“…Because the main goal of this paper is to show that projected features of frequencydiversity RCS can well identify radar targets even though there exist measured noises. From physical points of views, the RCS based recognition of radar targets is basically an approximate approach of inverse scattering [12][13][14][15][16][17][18][19][20][21][22][23]. Since frequency-diversity techniques are successful in inverse scattering, they must contain much information about targets.…”

Assessment of the Impacts Due to the Alternation of Ground Conductivity Over the Earth Wave Field Intensity in Mw Band

“…Ground conductivity plays a special role in wave's propagation, also measuring the Ground Conductivity needs to difficult methods [1,2]. In sky waves, propagation depends on conditions of layers of ionosphere whose examining is very important especially at night when reflection from E layer and interference with ground waves which causes fading areas (ground waves interference) [3].…”
