The maximum line-of -sight distance d(M)...

The maximum line-of -sight distance `d_(M)` between two antennas having heights `h_(T)` and `H_(R)` above the earth is

A

`sqrt(R(h_(T)+h_(R)))`

B

`sqrt(2R//(h_(T)+h_(R)))`

C

`sqrt(Rh_(T))+sqrt(2Rh_(R))`

D

`sqrt(2Rh_(T))+sqrt(2Rh_(R))`

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

The correct Answer is:
D
The maximum line-of-sight distance `d_(m)` between the two antennas having heights `h_(t)` and `h_(g)` above the earth is given by
`d_(M)=sqrt(2Rh_(T))+sqrt(Rh_(R))`
