(color online) Variations of wave magnitude (rms) with radius (z = 3.98 m) (a) and axis (r = 0 m) (b) for three typical frequencies: 127 kHz, 167 kHz, and 202 kHz. The upper figure is identical to Fig. 14 in the previous study.[5] The black bar in the lower figure labels the blade antenna. The unit 1 Gs = 10−4 T.
