Field expressions for a horizontal electric dipole buried in a three‐layer earth are derived with techniques developed for a two‐layer earth. Parameters include the radio frequency, upper‐ and lower‐ layer depths, and the relative dielectric constant and conductivity or loss tangent of each layer. Analogies between multisection transmission lines and multilayer earth are discussed.
