A Review of Some Features of Radiowave Absorption

Abstract

Salient features of radiowave absorption theory have been reviewed in this paper. The analysis deals with absorption of radiowaves through the ionosphere using the absorption method – A3 (CW Field Strength) adopting data from the Swiss PTT MNIFTZ 4.1 computer predictions for shortwave transmission. The study gives outstanding formulations, and results, revealing new dimensions to the absorption phenomenon for HF signal predictions in the equatorial ionospheric zone.
