Presentation of the field surface wave generated by an antenna at the interface of two homogeneous media

Abstract

In circumstances where the dispersion of the permittivity can be neglected, the tangential component of the surface wave is expressed through the Laplace function of two complex arguments algebraically. This reduces the computation time of the surface wave at a given point to a few milliseconds, and to determine the current in the radiating antenna, as well as the dielectric constant of the underlying surface, for the time of the order of several seconds. Obtain estimates of the surface wave field for the most typical parameters of soils. These calculations can be used to select regularizators inverse GPR for quantitative calculations of the parameters of the soil and for the qualitative interpretation of GPR data.
