文摘Generalized impedance boundary conditions are employed to simplify the solution of the Sommerfeld half-space problem. An analytical expression is derived for the Hertz potential of a vertical electric dipole over the earth’s surface, in which the earth is assumed to be a layered media or homogeneous dissipative half-space.
