Abstract:

A study is made of the magneto-ionic splitting and reflection of electro-magnetic waves incident obliquely on a stratified ionosphere. Certain simplifying assumptions are applied to the theory. Under these assumptions the opinion is offered that for sufficiently high frequencies the loss of signal strength due to splitting and reflection may be neglected.
