A transmitting and receiving antenna have height of \(d\) metres each. The maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in Line-of-Sight mode (LOS) is \(2 d\) kilometers. If the radius of earth is \(6400 \mathrm{~km}\), then the value of \(d\) is

  1. A \(3.2 \mathrm{~m}\)
  2. B \(6.4 \mathrm{~m}\)
  3. C \(12.8 \mathrm{~m}\)
  4. D \(16.0 \mathrm{~m}\)
Verified Solution

Answer & Solution

Correct Answer

(C) \(12.8 \mathrm{~m}\)

Step-by-step Solution

Detailed explanation

For satisfactory communication, maximum distance \(d_{\max }=\sqrt{2 R h_1}+\sqrt{2 R h_2}\) Given, \(\quad d_{\max }=2 d(\mathrm{~km})\) and \(h_1=h_2=d(\mathrm{~m})\) From Eqs. (i) and (ii), we get \(2 d=\sqrt{2 R h_1}+\sqrt{2 R h_2}\) Substituting values in Eq. (iii) we get…
