A transmitting antenna at the top of a tower has a height of 32 m and the height of the receiving antenna is 50 m. What is the maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in LOS mode? Given radius of earth `6.4 xx 10^(6) m`.

Text Solution

Verified by Experts

`d_m= sqrt( 2 xx 64 xx 10^(5) xx 32 ) xx ( 2 xx 64 xx 10^(5) xx 50)`
`= 64 xx 10^(2) xx sqrt( 10)+ 8 x 10^(3) xx sqrt(10) m `
` = 144 xx 10^(2) xx sqrt(10) m = 45.5 km`
