प्रश्न
Is it necessary for a transmitting antenna to be at the same height as that of the receiving antenna for line-of-sight communication? A TV transmitting antenna is 81m tall. How much service area can it cover if the receiving antenna is at the ground level?
उत्तर
Line-of-sight communication means that there is no physical obstruction between the transmitter and the receiver. In such communications it is not necessary for the transmitting and receiving antennas to be at the same height.
Height of the given antenna, h = 81 m
Radius of earth, R = 6.4 × 106 m
For range, d = (2Rh)½, the service area of the antenna is given by the relation:
A = πd2
= π (2Rh)
= 3.14 × 2 × 6.4 × 106 × 81
= 3255.55 × 106 m2
= 3255.55
∼ 3256 km2

The maximum frequency for reflection of sky waves from a certain layer of the ionosphere is found to be fmax = 9(Nmax)1/2, where Nmax is the maximum electron density at that layer of the ionosphere. On a certain day, it is observed that signals of frequencies higher than 5 MHz are not received by reflection from the F1 layer of the ionosphere while signals of frequencies higher than 8 MHz are not received by reflection from the F2 layer of the ionosphere. Estimate the maximum electron densities of the F1 and F2 layers on that day.
