Excitation of the groundwave
1968
The groundwave is excited at the point at which a geometrical optical ray is tangent to that surface diffracted ray which represents the groundwave mode. At that point, a fraction of the incident field is converted to a groundwave mode, and the rest continues. Analagous to reflection and transmission coefficients, an excitation coefficient gives the fraction of the incident field that is converted to the groundwave mode.
