Abstract
AbstractA systematic analysis is conducted for refractive index profiles capable of yielding exact solutions in terms of hypergeometric or confluent hypergeometric functions for the electromagnetic field of vertically polarized waves propagating in horizontally stratified isotropic media. Previously known profiles emerge as special cases of the analysis. Profiles suitable for use with isotropic lossless ionospheres and of prescribed form n2 = 1 − T(z)/k2, with T(z) independent of k, do not arise in this paper.
