156. Find the electrical field strength for a signal power of 100W at a distance of 10 km
away.
5.48 mV/m
157. A 5 kW power, produces a field intensity of 50 uV/m at the receiver, what field intensity
will be received if the power is raised to 20 kW?
100uV/m
158. A transmitter has a power output of 150 W at a carrier frequency of 325 MHz. It is
connected to an antenna with a gain of 12 dBi. The receiving antenna is 10km away and has
a gain of 5 dBi. Calculate the power delivered to the receiver, assuming free-space
propagation. Assume also that there are no losses or mismatches in the system.

160. In the right-hand rule for propagation, the thumb points in the
direction of the E field and the forefinger points in the direction of
the H field. In what direction does the middle finger point?
161. Which two composite fields (composed of E and H fields) are associated with every
antenna?
162. What composite field (composed of E and H fields) is found stored in the antenna?
Induction field.
163. What composite field (composed of E and H fields) is propagated into free space?
Radiation field
164. If a transmitting antenna is placed close to the ground, how should the antenna be
polarized to give the greatest signal strength?
Vertically polarized.
165. What is one of the major reasons for the fading of radio waves which have been
reflected from a surface?
167. Which layer of the atmosphere has relatively little effect on radio waves?
Stratosphere
168. What is the determining factor in classifying whether a radio wave is a ground wave or
a space wave?
Whether the component of the wave is travelling along the surface or over the
surface of the earth.
169. What is the best type of surface or terrain to use for radio wave transmission?
3/6
170. What is the primary difference between the radio horizon and the natural horizon?
Seawater.
171. What three factors must be considered in the transmission of a surface wave to reduce
attenuation?
(a) electrical properties of the terrain (b) frequency (c) polarization of the antenna
D,E,F1,F2 layers.
175. What factor determines whether a radio wave is reflected or refracted by the
ionosphere?
176. There is a maximum frequency at which vertically transmitted radio waves can be
refracted back to earth. What is this maximum frequency called?
Critical Frequency.
177. What three main factors determine the amount of refraction in the ionosphere?
(a) density of ionization of the layer (b) frequency (c) angle at which it enters the layer
A zone of silence between the ground wave and sky wave where there is no reception.
179. Where does the greatest amount of ionospheric absorption occur in the ionosphere?
A term used to describe the multiple pattern a radio wave may follow.
4/6
181. When a wide band of frequencies is transmitted simultaneously, each frequency will
vary in the amount of fading. What is this variable fading called?
Selective fading
182. What are two main sources of EMI with which radio waves must compete?
183. Thunderstorms, snow storms, cosmic sources, the sun, etc., are a few examples of emi
sources. What type of EMI comes from these sources?
Natural
184. Motors, switches, voltage-regulators, generators, etc., are a few examples of EMI
sources, what type of EMI comes from these sources?
Man-made
185. What are the two general types of variations in the ionosphere?
186. What is the main difference between these two types of variations?
Unpredictable
187. What are the four main classes of regular variation which affect the extent of ionization
in the ionosphere?
188. What are the three more common types of irregular variations in the ionosphere?
190. How does fog affect radio waves at frequencies above 2 Gigahertz?
191. How is the term “temperature inversion” used when referring to radio waves?
5/6
It is a condition where layers of warm air are formed above layers of cool air.
It can cause vhf and uhf transmission to be propagated far beyond normal line-of-
sight distances.
193. In what layer of the atmosphere does virtually all weather phenomena occur?
Troposphere
194. Which radio frequency bands use the tropospheric scattering principle for propagation
of radio waves?
