Electrostatic resonance-cone waves emitted by a dipole in the ionosphere.

The theory of whistler-mode radiation from a dipole antenna has been tested in the ionospheric sounding-rocket experiment OEDIPUS-C (OC). In this bistatic investigation, 25-kHz waves were received at a distance of 1200 m from a synchronized transmitter. Electric fields near the group resonance cone...
