Ground wave is important for radio signals below 30 MHz, but is generally insignificant at higher frequencies where line-of-sight propagation dominates. AM and longwave broadcasting, navigation systems such as LORAN , low-frequency time signals , non-directional beacons , and short-range HF communications all make use of it.
A radio propagation model, also known as the radio wave propagation model or the radio frequency propagation model, is an empirical mathematical formulation for the characterization of radio wave propagation as a function of frequency, distance and other conditions. A single model is usually developed to predict the behavior of propagation for ...
The received signal having two components, the LOS component and the reflection component formed predominantly by a single ground reflected wave. The 2-ray ground reflection model is a simplified propagation model used to estimate the path loss between a transmitter and a receiver in wireless communication systems, in order to estimate the ...
Ground conductivity is an extremely important factor in determining the field strength and propagation of surface wave (ground wave) radio transmissions. Low frequency (30–300 kHz) and medium frequency (300–3000 kHz) radio transmissions are particularly reliant on good ground conductivity as their primary propagation is by surface wave. [1]
Low frequency (LF) is the ITU designation [1] [2] for radio frequencies (RF) in the range of 30–300 ... This mode of propagation, called ground wave, ...
[2] [5] In reality, the electron density of the D-layer increases with altitude, and the wave is bounded as shown in Figure 2. The sum of ground wave and first hop wave displays an interference pattern with interference minima if the difference between the ray paths of ground and first sky wave is half a wavelength (or a phase difference of 180°).
Amateur radio operators are credited with the discovery of skywave propagation on the shortwave bands. Early long-distance services used ground wave propagation at very low frequencies, [4] which are attenuated along the path. Longer distances and higher frequencies using this method meant more signal attenuation.
