Question
Explain sky wave propagation.
✓
Answer
- When radio waves from a transmitting antenna reach the receiving antenna after reflection in the ionosphere, the wave propagation is called sky wave propagation.
- The sky waves include waves of frequency between 3 MHz and 30 MHz.
- These waves can suffer multiple reflections between the ionosphere and the Earth. Therefore, they can be transmitted over large distances.
