BOOKER WAS a superb teacher and insightful researcher: He taught us electromagnetics, radio … WebThe propagation of radio waves through a horizontally stratified and slowly varying ionosphere is governed, in the case of oblique incidence, by a quartic equation (Booker 1938). Ray theory breaks down when two roots of this quartic are equal, for then coupling occurs between the characteristic waves, and full wave theory must be used. This paper …
On the Derivation of Booker
WebFor a horizontally stratified ionosphere the four roots of the Booker quartic equation can often be used to give four independent W. K. B. type solutions of the electromagnetic equations which govern radio wave propagation, but this is only possible if the four roots are distinct.
