What are T.V. signals? How can they be received?

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

T.V. signals are those signals which have
frequency range from 54 MHz to 890 MHz.
Since these waves neither follow the curvature
of the earth nor get reflected by ionosphere, their
reception is possible either by using
communication geostationary satellite which
reflects the T.V. signals back to earth or by using
tall antennas which may directly intercept the
signals.

The height of a T.V. tower is 300 m. What is the maximum distance upto which T. V. signals can be received ? ( R = 6400 km)

What are T.V. signals? Explain their propagation. Find the relation between coverage distance and height of transmitting antenna.

Height h(400=m) from the ground at place A, from which the readiowaves can be transmitted. There is a receive at station B on earth at a distance d(=125km), which can receive the signal from station A. The radiowaves can reach the station B, either through earth's atmosphere or through satellite. There are four main layers in earth's atmosphere named D,E, F_(1) and F_(2) which play effective role in radio communication. The electron density of these layers is 4xx10^(8), 2xx10^(11),5xx10^(11) and 8xx10^(11)m^(-3) . The radius of the earth is 6.4xx10^(6)m . If the station A sends the T.V. signals, then the maximum area on earth upto which T.V. transmission can be received on earth is (average population density around the tower is 1000 km^(-2) )

Television signals broadcast from the moon can be received on the earth while the TV broadcast from Delhi cannot be received at places about 100 km distant from Delhi. This is because
