Scientific paper

Discussion of VLF radio wave propagation in the range from 200 to 1000 km from the transmitter. The ground and ionospheric reflection coefficients are described, and propagation in a one- and two-hop model is investigated. It is found that during the day a two-hop wave is relatively unimportant, whereas during nighttime conditions it may become the dominant skywave component. A comparison between results from full-wave analysis based upon ray theory and waveguide mode theory predictions is presented.
