Abstrakt: This paper contains a survey of Gilliam and Schulenberger's work entitled ‘The propagation of electromagnetic waves through, along and over a three dimensional conducting half space’. A special case of this problem was originally considered in the now classic paper by A. Sommerfeld in 1909. Since that time there have been a tremendous number of articles in engineering and physics literature on special cases of this important physical model. However, the real composition of the electromagnetic field due to general finite energy sources remained unclear. In particular, there has been considerable controversy regarding the existence and properties of the Zenneck surface wave.
