Waveguide Parameters of 19.8 kHz Signal Propagating over a Long Path

摘要

The amplitude and phase of 19.8 kHz signal from navigational transmitter located in North West Cape, Australia, recorded at Suva, Fiji, have been utilized to determine the waveguide mode parameters. The propagation path is mixed over land and sea having Transmitter-Receiver Great Circle Path distance 6.7 Mm. The experimental values of the parameters were found to be consistent with the theoretical values calculated using the mode theory of VLF wave propagation in the waveguide.
