Study Notes
Sky Wave Propagation
- Facilitates radio wave travel through the Earth's atmosphere with the ability to reflect off the ionosphere.
- Ineffective at frequencies exceeding 30 MHz, limiting its utility for higher frequency communications.
- Does not occur at night as the lack of solar radiation depletes the ionosphere's capability to reflect waves.
- High-frequency (HF) bands, typically ranging from 3 MHz to 30 MHz, employ sky wave propagation for effective long-range communication.
- Influenced by atmospheric conditions, such as temperature and humidity, which can affect signal strength and quality during transmission.
