“…[5] At distances ρ exceeding a triple effective waveguide height h, only the field of one leading quasi-TEM mode is left in the electromagnetic field of a point source [Madden and Thompson, 1965;Wait, 1962]. This mode is found by numerical integration of a system of ordinary differential equations following from the Maxwell equation [Galyuk and Ivanov, 1978;Hynninen and Galyuk, 1972;Jones, 1967;Kirillov andKopeykin, 2002, 2003;Kirillov et al, 1997;Krasnushkin and Yablochkin, 1963;Madden and Thompson, 1965;Pappert and Miler, 1974] or analytically [Greifinger and Greifinger, 1978, 1979, 1986Kirillov, 1972Kirillov, , 1978Kirillov, , 1996Kirillov, , 1998Kirillov and Pronin, 1974]. Only numerical calculations yield the results corresponding to the real model of the ionosphere.…”
