SOME MATHEMATICAL CONSIDERATIONS IN THE THEORY OF DIFFRACTION OF RADIO WAVES AROUND A SPHERICAL EARTH
无线电波绕球形地球的绕射理论中的若干数学问题

The classical problem of diffraction of radio waves around a spherical earth is briefly reviewed, with the purpose of pointing out a mistake in the mathematical derivation of the theory which has been generally accepted. The correct way of analysis is indicated.
