Anyone with EZNEC, including the demo program, can easily get the value
of intrinsic Z of various media. Just define a Real ground type in any
model and enter the ground constants. Then open the Utilities menu and
select Ground Info. A wave normal to the ground will reflect exactly as
it would from the junction of two transmission lines with one having the
impedance of free space (about 377 + j0 ohms) and the other having the
ground's impedance. The nature of oblique reflections depend on the
polarization of the wave relative to the reflecting plane (the ground),
but a reflection always occurs whenever the wave encounters a change in
the impedance of the medium, or a "mismatch" as Richard calls it.

Hello Roy:

Very good and youseful info. Is it possible change the reflecting
angle in that result?

Miguel

Sorry, I'm not sure what result you mean. You can't change the
reflecting angle -- the angle of reflection is always equal to the angle
of incidence. And the intrinsic impedance of a medium doesn't change
when a wave strikes it, reflects off it, or propagates through it.

I wanted to mean to choose the incident angle for possible anothers
calculations, Sorry I get confussed with translated meaning of angle
in = "Intrinsec Z = xxx at ANGLE of xxx deg, I understood as
incidence angle instead of phase angle, here we can not acostumed to
write in that form and I translated bad the meaning.

Today I posted another EZ-NEC question about a simulation of liquid
antenna based in yours, but I did on earlier thread post point, have
you see it?

(Thank for you quick answer)
