Abstract
IN view of the interpretation of measurements concerning the reflection of radio waves by the ionosphere, it is desirable to calculate the reflected amplitude for a special case, making certain suppositions about the electric properties of the ionosphere and assuming an external magnetic field. I have therefore investigated the propagation of electromagnetic waves in a vertical direction in a medium with electric properties varying in the same direction, and subject to the influence of a constant magnetic field H making an angle with the vertical.
