Electromagnetic Induction and Surface Impedance in a Half-Space from an Overhead Moving Current System

Hsueh-Yuan Pao, Senior Member, IEEE and James R. Wait

Page 1301.

Abstract:

How does an overhead current system having a velocity v influence the electromagnetic (EM) fields and the surface impedance as measured on the ground? We attempt to answer this question in this paper. A formulation is given for the fields produced by a current system having a uniform translational velocity. The numerical results that reflect the influence of velocity on the surface impedance at the air/earth boundary are presented. The relativity effect is not considered.
