Abstract: This paper presents a new integral equation to calculate the attenuation factor near the Earth's surface. An expression for the attenuation function computation at arbitrary heights is derived and the distance dependences of the attenuation factor are presented. The correspondence of the numerical results with analytical calculations for the planar and spherical surface is shown. The results for the real terrain profile are given.
Key words: attenuation factor, surface impedance, impedance boundary condition, integral equation, Green function.
