Aerospace | The propagation of radio energy over a smooth spherical earth of uniform dielectric constant and conductivity under conditions of standard refraction in the atmosphere, i.e., an atmosphere in which the index of refraction decreases uniformly with height at a rate of 12 N-units per 1000 feet. See superstandard propagation, substandard propagation, standard atmosphere.Standard propagation results in a ray curvature due to refection which has a value approximately one-fourth that of the earth's curvature, giving a radio horizon which is about 15 percent greater than the distance to the geometrical horizon. This is equivalent to straight-line propagation over a fictitious earth whose radius is four-thirds the radius of the actual earth. (references) |
