to the farfield ranges, as long as the square of the index of refraction
is large and the Somnerfeld numerical distance is small. For the subsurface-to-air, air-to-subsurface, and subsurface-to-subsurface propagation
cases, the additional restriction that the measurement distance be greater
than three times the burial depth of the source and/or receiver must be
met.

Comparing equations (27) and (32), we see that for the quasi-static range
(1yoR 1 I << 1), I is negligible compared to the other two terms in equation
(32).

becomes

Now, it seems that we have gone to a lot of trouble to derive the last
term of the Rz expression. However, it is this term that yields the vertically
polarized farfield (for small numerical distances) produced by a HED located

very near or below the earth's surface. This is the so-called quadripole term
(i.e., the quadripole moment is Ity0 d = 21Z/n).
Because of the close spacing
and opposite sense of the dipole and its image, direct radiation from the
dipole is not the prime mechanism. Rather, the quadripole consisting of ver13
tical conduction currents in the lossy medium representz the prime source.
If the first two terms in equation (37) are ignored and z = h = 0, equation (37) reduces to

The
3sulting HED finitely conducting earth-image theory field expressions
for the ai -to-air propagation case are presented in table 1. They are valid
for small numerical distances and In2 1 > 15.
When IyoR 1 I << 1, they reduce to
the quasi-static range image-theory results. 1 ,2
to Norton's 1 4 , 1 5 farfield results.
Four of the six HMD expressions valid for h and z > 0 can be obtained
completely from reciprocity consideration (En, E01 E z , and Hz).
The remaining
two can be obtained from Maxwell's equations (Ho and HO).
Alternatively, they

SUBSURFACE-TO-AIR PROPAGATION
The HED and HMD image-theory expressions for the subsurface-to-air propagation case (h < 0, z > 0) can be obtained from the air-to-air propagation
equations (tables I and 2) simply by setting h = 0 and multiplying each expression by exp(ylh). The resulting equations are presented in tables 3 and 4 and
will be valid 1 8 for R = Np2 7
> 13hl, jn2 1 > 15, and small numerical distances.
It should be noted that by following the procedure outlined by Bannister and Dube, 1 8 the restriction R > 13hl can become less stringent.
When ly
1RI >> I, the HED and HMD subsurface-to-air propagation equations
reduce to the nearfield and farfield range results presented in tables 3.1 and
3.3 of Kraichman 1 9 (see also Bannister 2 ).
AIR-TO-SUBSURFACE PROPAGATION
The HED and HMD image-theory expressions for the air-to-subsurface propagation case (h > 0, z < 0) can be obtained from the air-to-air propagation
equations (tables J and 2) simply by setting z = 0 and multiplying each expression by exp(ylz).

CONCLUSIONS
*
.
Simple engineering expressions for HED and HMD air-to-air, subsurface-toair, air-to-subsurface, and subsurface-to-subsurface propagation have been
derived by employing finitely conducting earth-image theory techniques. For
the air-to-air propagation case, the expressions are valid from the quasi-static
to the farfield ranges as long as In2 l > 15 and the Sommerfeld numerical distance is small. For the subsurface-to-air, air-to-subsurface, and subsurfaceto-subsurface cases, the additional restriction that the measurement distance
be greater than three times the burial depth of the source and/or receiver
must be met. We have also demonstrated that image theory can be utilized to
determine the fields at large numerical distances.
We have compared successfully image-theory and exact Sommerfeld integration results for four cases, yielding agreement within I percent for three
comparisons and within 5 percent for the other.
It should be noted that the two media can be inverted and the air
replaced by the earth's crust (of conductivity a 2 and dielectric constant E2)"
