ON MEASURING THE HORIZONTAL ELECTRIC-FIELD JUST ABOVE THE EARTHS SURFACE

An analysis is given for the open-circuit voltage in a linear wire ant enna located above a flat ground, with homogeneous electrical properti es, for a distant vertically polarized source. The receiving wire ante nna is allowed to be tilted at a fixed angle relative to the ground su rface. In one case, the ends of the antenna are terminated in ground s takes while, in another case, the antenna is unterminated. It is shown that the staked antenna is less influenced by the asymmetry.
