Re: Topband: Monopole Elev Pattern w.r.t. Earth Conductivity

Hello Richard,

What I understand from your simulation (above) is that the near and far field 
are functions to ground conductivity. The less ground conductivity, the less 
electrical field will be measured (near/far filed). 

That means, the radiation pattern will be affected too because the 
electromagnetic wave will be much curved  to the ground, so the ground wave 
intensity will be direct proportional with the conductivity.

Is it right?
