Question

If a given antenna of height h, then maximum distance upto which it can receive signal is $\sqrt{a h R}$ . (R is the radius of earth)
What is the value of $a$ ?

Solution

$d_{t}$ =Radio Horizon, $h_{t}$ =Height of Transmitting Antenna
R=Radius of Earth $h_{R}$ =height of Receiving Antenna.

$d_{m} = \sqrt{2 R h_{T} + {2 R h}_{R}}$

So, for receiving antenna
$d_{R} = \sqrt{2 h_{R} R}$
a=2
