A transmitting antenna at the top of a tower has a height 32m32m and the height of the receiving antenna is 50m50m. What is the maximum distance between them for satisfactory communication in line of sight (LOS) mode?

Options

  1. A45.5km45 . 5km
  2. B54.5km54 . 5km
  3. C55.4km55 . 4km
  4. D455km455km

Correct answer

A. 45.5km45 . 5km

Step-by-step solution

Given,

Height of transmitting antenna is, hT=50m{h}_{T} = 50m

Height of receiving antenna is, hR=32m{h}_{R} = 32m

Thus, maximum distance for satisfactory communication will be,

dM=2RhT+2RhR{d}_{M} = \sqrt{2R{h}_{T}} + \sqrt{2R{h}_{R}} where RR is radius of the Earth,

dM=2RhT+2RhRdM=2×64×105×50+2×64×105×32dM=800010+640010dM=1440010mdM=45536.7mdM=45.5km{d}_{M} = \sqrt{2R{h}_{T}} + \sqrt{2R{h}_{R}}{d}_{M} = \sqrt{2 \times 64 \times {10}^{5} \times 50} + \sqrt{2 \times 64 \times {10}^{5} \times 32}{d}_{M} = 8000\sqrt{10} + 6400\sqrt{10}{d}_{M} = 14400\sqrt{10}m{d}_{M} = 45536 . 7m{d}_{M} = 45 . 5km
