A transmitting antenna of height \(20 \mathrm{~m}\) and the receiving antenna of height \(h\) are separated by a distance of \(40 \mathrm{~km}\) for satisfactory communication in line of sight (Los) mode. Then the value of \(h\) is (Give, radius of earth is \(6400 \mathrm{~km}\).)

  1. A 40 m
  2. B 45 m
  3. C 30 m
  4. D 25 m
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(B) 45 m

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

Given, height of transmitting antenna \(h_T=20 \mathrm{~m}\), distance of LOS, \(d_m=40 \mathrm{~km}\) As maximum distance of line of sight mode \(d_m=\sqrt{2 R h_T}+\sqrt{2 R h_R}\) putting the given values, we get…
