Abstract: A practical extremely low frequency (ELF) horizontal antenna requires a site of high effective resistivity. This paper describes the relation between the site effective apparent resistivity and the performance of the horizontal transmitting antenna. It is proposed that the length-weighted average of the apparent resistivity along the antenna is a key parameter of the ELF transmitting antenna site characterization. A calculating method for the effective apparent resistivity along the antenna at a inhomgeneous ground is given.

Key words: ELF, transmitting antenna, effective resistivity
