Radiation in a lossless magneto-ionic medium at frequencies high relative to the electron gyrofrequency

Abstract

Equations for the radia t ion field of an arbi trary distribu tion of source curren ts embedd ed in a lossless magneto-ionic medium and radiating at a frequ ency that is high relative to t he electron gyrofrequ eney of the medium are der ived using t he QL approximation . The field is given directly in terms of the components of radiation vector determined by an integrat ion over the source currents. The application of t he equation s to arrays of s imilar sources is discussed.
