Question
Answer the following question.
On what factors does the range of coverage in ground wave propagation depend?
Solution
The ground wave propagation is preferred usually for long-distance communication using frequencies below 3 MHz. The range of coverage of ground wave propagation depends on transmitted power and frequency.

A 50 MHz 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 size and placement of receiving and transmitting antenna be?
