If the whole earth is to be connected by LOS communication using space waves (no restriction of antenna size or tower height), what is the minimum number of antennas required? Calculate the tower height of these antennas in terms of earths radius?
In order to connect earth with LOS using space waves,
Let the height of the antenna receiving the signals be ‘ht’
The ‘ht’ is equal to ‘hr’ where
The line of sight between transmission and receiving antennas be ‘dm’
The maximum distance would be
