Extract

The W.K.B. solution for radio waves in a plane stratified ionosphere was obtained by Budden ((4), §§ 18.10 and 18.11) by a process using approximate diagonalization of the governing equations. Alternatively the solution may be obtained by specializing to the one-dimensional case the result of Bennett (1) which employs frequency scaling. Formally similar results were obtained by Ludwig (8) without explicitly introducing frequency scaling.
