Abstract

In Chap. 3, the spherical harmonic series solutions are obtained for the SLF/ELF electromagnetic fields of vertical and horizontal electric dipoles in the non-ideal Earth-ionosphere waveguide or cavity. Especially, the speeding numerical convergence algorithm is used to improve the convergence speed for the spherical harmonic series solutions. It is noted that the SLF/ELF electromagnetic field components in the Earth-ionosphere waveguide or cavity can be evaluated rapidly with high efficiency by the using this algorithm.
