  • Low frequency electromagnetic waves cannot be propagated over large distances above ground unless the "electrical field" vector of the waves is vertical.
  • the electrical field vector E of such low frequency waves is always slightly inclined towards the direction F of propagation above the surface of the earth. This vector may be resolved into a horizontal component Er and a vertical component Ez.
  • the type of wave which generates this electrical field E is known as a Zenneck wave.
  • the horizontal component E: of this electrical field E will travel perpendicularly to the surface of the earth in the direction f and, if the wave be travelling over the sea, attain with sufficient amplitude and relatively low attenuation a receiver set submerged at great depth.

  • Said source of current may consist of a mains supply which may be chopped by a chopper 30 (FIG.
  • an alternating current said extremely low frequency is established in the sea across the grids 3 and 4 in the form of streams parallel to the surface, such as i], i2, :3.

  • the current streams i become comparable to the streams of current circulating in an antenna and generate at said extremely low frequency electromagnetic waves propagating far OK.
  • the radiation resistance of such an antenna is low yet nevertheless sufficient to give rise to considerable radiated power in response to currents of high intensity, and, when the antenna is made to operate with long pulses, this radiated power may substantially exceed the emitted powers which are customarily radiated by radio-telegraphy stations, for frequencies comprised between 10 and 30 ltc/s, and which are limited by the corona effect or by insulation faults.
