A receiver of communication system consists of

The sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving attennas in line of sight of communication is fixed at h, find the height of two antennas when r ange is maximum.

If the sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving antennas in line of sight of communication is fixed at h, show that the range is maximum when the two antennas have a height h//2 each.

Assertion: Space waves are used for litre -of -sight communication. Reason: Space wave travels in a straight line from transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.

The ground wave communication cannot be occur above a distance of

If the sum of the heights of transmitting and receiving antennas in the line of sight of communication is fixed at 160 m, then the maximum range of LOS communication is_________km. (Take radius of Earth = 6400 km)

Line of sight (LOS) communication is also known as

A : It is necessary for transmitting antenna must be at same height as that of receiving antenna for line of sight communition. B : EM waves of frequency beyond 40 MHz , propagate as space waves.

What is line of sight distance in communication system?

A 50 MHz sky wave sky wave takes 4.04 ms to reach a receiver via re-transmission from a satellite 600 km above earth's surface. Assuming re-transmission time by satellite negligible, find the distance between source and receiver. If communication between the two was to be done by Line of sight (LOS) method,what should be the size of transmitting antenna ?
