Propagation path loss characteristics of vertical dipole above perfect ground

Abstract

In this letter, we calculated the propagation path loss because of the vertical electric dipole on perfect electric conductor ground in time domain. We derived the electric field in time domain and calculated the transient response and the received signal strength. The results show that the changes in the height of the base station caused the changes in the transient response in time domain and that such changes also affect the changes in received signal strength and the location of the near field because of the effects of ground surface. It is expected that such results can be applied in mobile communication network design and in military communication such as ground surface radars.
