A transmitting antenna at the top of a tower has a height 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 \(= 6.4 \times 10^6\) m.
- A 22.75 km
- B 45.5 km
- C 91.0 km
- D 182.0 km
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) 45.5 km
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
\(d = \sqrt{2Rh_T} + \sqrt{2Rh_R}\) \(d = \sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m} \times 32 \text{ m}} + \sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \text{ m} \times 50 \text{ m}}\) \(d = 20238.63 \text{ m} + 25298.22 \text{ m}\) \(d = 45536.85 \text{ m}\) \(d \approx 45.5 \text{ km}\)
