Write formula connecting line of sight d...

Write formula connecting line of sight distance (d) in terms of the height of the transmission tower `(h_T)` and height of receiving antenna `(h_R)`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`d= d_T+d_R`
where, `d_T=sqrt(2Rh_T) " and " dR = sqrt(2Rh_R)`
i.e., `d = sqrt(2)R (sqrt(h_T) + sqrt(h_R))`.
