Q

What is a Critical Angle?

A

The smallest angle that will cause the Sky Wave to return to earth

17
Q

What is a Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF)?

A

The highest frequency that could be used to establish communication between two points using the Sky Wave.

18
Q

What is the MUF determined by?

A

The MUF is determined by the angle of incidence and the critical frequency.

19
Q

What is the formula for MUF?

A

MUF = Fcrit/cos(angle)

20
Q

What is the Optimim Working Frequency (OWF)?

A

The OWF is the highest frequency that would be used in practise to establish communication between two points using the Sky Wave.

21
Q

What is the OWF percentage?

A

85%

22
Q

How does a Direct (Space) wave travel to an aerial?

A

The direct (space) wave must travel from the transmitting aerials in a straight line to the revieving aerial, also known as ‘line of sight’.

23
Q

Factors effecting EM waves?

A
  • External Noise and interference
  • Atmospheric attenuation
