Wave Number and Input Impedance of a VLF Insulated Linear Antenna in an Anisotropic Ionosphere

We report a method to obtain the wave number and input impedance of a very low frequency (VLF) insulated linear antenna in an anisotropic ionosphere. Due to the anisotropy, electromagnetic fields in the ionosphere are decomposed into the ordinary wave and extraordinary wave. Wave equations for the l...
