ground constants

ground constants: The electrical parameters of earth, such as conductivity, permittivity, and magnetic permeability. Note 1: The values of these parameters vary with the local chemical composition and density of the earth. Note 2: For a propagating electromagnetic wave, such as a surface wave propagating along the surface of the Earth, these parameters vary with frequency and direction.
