Abstract

In a previous paper (11) refractive index profiles capable of yielding exact solutions for vertically polarized electromagnetic waves propagating in horizontally stratified isotropic media were derived systematically. The present work extends the method to deal with anisotropic media in which propagation is transverse to a horizontally applied static magnetic field. The relevance to ELF radio wave propagation in the terrestrial ionosphere is noted.
