Question

What is space wave propagation?

Solution

Space wave propagation: When the radio waves from the transmitting antenna propagate along the space surrounding the earth to reach the receiving antenna, either
directly or after reflection from the ground or in the troposphere, the wave propagation is called Space wave propagation.
