Comparison of MUF calculation procedures for extended paths
Abstract
Comparison is made between the estimated values of the maximum usable frequency according to two methods, the first of which is based on the ray approximation and the second on the normal wave method with experimental values of maximum usable frequency for a midlatitude path 4500 km long. The obtained results show that the second method explains the experimental data better.
