Abstract

Vertical components of the vector potential of electromagnetic wave above two-layer strongly inductive impedance medium are determined. The solution is represented as a Sommerfeld integral. Singularities of such an integral are determined using effective parameters. The phase velocity of the surface electromagnetic wave is considered. It is shown that such a velocity is always less than the velocity of light in vacuum, so that the surface electromagnetic waves cannot be classified as the Zenneck waves for which the phase velocity is greater than the velocity of light (similarly to electromagnetic waves in waveguides).
