Abstract
Radio equipment capable of communicating through hundreds of meters of quartzite rock was first designed and developed in South Africa over 50 years ago. The technology used was based on the analysis of the electromagnetic issues (as they were then understood) affecting propagation directly through such a lossy dielectric medium. That work has recently been considerably extended and is published here for the first time.
期刊介绍:
Radio Science (RDS) publishes original scientific contributions on radio-frequency electromagnetic-propagation and its applications. Contributions covering measurement, modelling, prediction and forecasting techniques pertinent to fields and waves - including antennas, signals and systems, the terrestrial and space environment and radio propagation problems in radio astronomy - are welcome. Contributions may address propagation through, interaction with, and remote sensing of structures, geophysical media, plasmas, and materials, as well as the application of radio frequency electromagnetic techniques to remote sensing of the Earth and other bodies in the solar system.
