Question:

The maximum line-of-sight distance \(d\) between the transmitting antenna of height \(h_t\) and receiving antenna of height \(h_r\) in LOS communication is \((R=\) radius of the earth\()\)

Show Hint

LOS distance is the sum of the individual horizon distances of the two antennas.

  • \(h_t+h_r\)
  • \(\sqrt{h_t+h_r}\)
  • \(\dfrac{h_t+h_r}{2}\)
  • \(\sqrt{h_t}-\sqrt{h_r}\)
  • \(\sqrt{2Rh_t}+\sqrt{2Rh_r}\)

The Correct Option is

Solution and Explanation

The line-of-sight distance for two antennas is: \[ d=\sqrt{2Rh_t}+\sqrt{2Rh_r} \] Hence, \[ \boxed{(E)\ \sqrt{2Rh_t}+\sqrt{2Rh_r}} \]
