The critical frequency for sky wave propagation if maximum number density of electrons in ionosphere is is,


Important Questions on Communication Systems
Frequencies higher than are found not to be reflected by the ionosphere on a particular day at a place. The maximum electron density of the ionosphere is,

A TV tower has height . By how much should the height of tower be increased to double its coverage range?

How much time is taken by an information to pass from one place to another at a distance of in space communication?

Amplitude modulation is useful for broadcasting in communication systems because,

Assertion: Communication in UHF/VHF regions can be established by space wave or tropospheric wave.
Reason: Communication in UHF/VHF regions is not limited to line of sight distance but can be achieved for very large distances.

In satellite communication,
(i) the frequency used lies between and ,
(ii) the uplink and downlink frequencies are different,
(iii) the orbit of geostationary satellite lies in the equatorial plane at an inclination of .
In the above statements,

Assertion: A dish antenna is highly directional.
Reason: A dipole antenna is unidirectional.

Assertion: Modulation index is the degree to which the carrier wave is modulated.
Reason: For strong and clear reception, the value of modulation index should be very small.
