Using the Born approximation in the Stratton-Chu equation, a solution was obtained for the vertical electric component of an elf wave in the earth-ionosphere cavity with day-night and polar inhomogeneities. Calculations were made at a 62-GHz frequency using three models of a cavity inhomogeneity for different orientations of the beam path relative to the inhomgeneity. Relative perturbations of the field and diurnal variations in the observed elf field are obtained for a cavity with an inhomogeneity.
