Abstract

A new numerical method for finding roots of the characteristic equation in problems of radio wave propagation in tropospheric ducts with a piecewise linear profile of the refractive index is proposed. For the selected model of the vertical profile of the refractive index of an surface duct, dynamics of propagation constants of modes and features of the behavior of the attenuation function of the electromagnetic field as functions of the troposphere parameters and the wavelength are studied. The contribution of the whispering gallery modes is also estimated.
