A Laboratory Model for Studying Transhorizon Radio Wave Propagation Phenomena

Abstract

A labor~tory m?del suitable for use in the investigation of transhorizon radio wave propagation phenomena ts descnbed. The model allows a scale factor of 1.16 X 10+• to relate observations on the model to observations on a dielectric sphere the size of the earth. Measurements to show that the fields over the model agree with the classical "airless earth" solution are presented.
