Abstract
In Chap. 7, we will summarize our recent works on the radiation of an electric dipole in infinite anisotropic plasma and the electromagnetic field on the sea surface generated by the space borne transmitter in SLF/ELF ranges. A space borne SLF/ELF transmitter for the communications to submarines can be a line antenna or loop antenna in the ionosphere at a heights of 300–450 km. The line antenna can be idealized as an electric dipole while the ionosphere is idealized as homogeneous anisotropic plasma, and the electromagnetic field on the sea surface generated by a space borne SLF/ELF line antenna is analyzed and the corresponding numerical results can be calculated readily. It is well known that the space borne VLF/SLF transmitting experiments were carried out in several countries, especially including USA and Russia. As a fundamental study of a new method of submarine communication, the investigation on the space borne VLF/SLF excitation and propagation may be useful.
