IEEE 356-2020

The scope of the project is to cover measurements of the electrical properties of naturally occurring solids. Not covered are methods that rely on mapping earth structure anomalies unless directly related to electrical properties. There is limited coverage of numerical methods for forward/inverse modeling.

This document is needed for ground plane assessment for locating antennas; formation mapping to obtain geological information; assessment of ore-grade quality; moisture content, salinity; propagation prediction and studies; aquifer studies for water search, nuclear waste disposal, dam location; ground-penetrating radar research; prospecting.

Revision Standard - Active. Measurements of the electrical properties of naturally occurring solids are covered in the scope of this guide. Not covered are methods that rely on mapping earth structure anomalies unless directly related to electrical properties. Coverage of numerical methods for forward/inverse modeling is limited.
