Q. If the height of transmitting and receiving antennas are $80\, m$ each, the maximum line of sight distance will be:
Given: Earth's radius $=6.4 \times 10^6 \, m$

JEE MainJEE Main 2023Communication Systems

Solution:

Maximum line of sight distance between two antennas, $d _{ M }=\sqrt{2 Rh _{ T }}+\sqrt{2 R \cdot h _{ R }}$
$d _{ M }=2 \times \sqrt{2 \times 6.4 \times 10^6 \times 80}=64 \,km$
