Abstract
We calculate the propagation characteristic of antennas considering refractive indices of space environments. The effective indices of troposphere, stratosphere, and inonshpere are computed and the ray tracing method, geometrical optics, and Huygens' principle are used to estimate refracted and attenuated electromagnetic wave of space environment.
