Application of radio ground-wave propagation theory to the tomographic imaging of ground surfaces.

Application of radio ground-wave propagation theory to the tomographic imaging of ground surfaces.

Radiowave propagation over ground has been historically studied for predicting the radiated fields when the ground properties are known and the field has been well covered over the past hundred years. The theory of ground-wave propagation is applied to the inverse problem of the tomographic imaging...
