a factor, typically 4/3, that scales Earth's radius so radio rays bent by tropospheric refraction can be drawn as straight lines over a larger Earth.

In antennas and propagation, effective Earth radius factor refers to a factor, typically 4/3, that scales Earth's radius so radio rays bent by tropospheric refraction can be drawn as straight lines over a larger Earth. This meaning comes from Schelleng (1933) in Proceedings of the IRE.[1]
