Question

Differeniate between sky wave and space wave propagation

Answer 1

hi mate,

Sky waves:

This works for high frequency radio waves between 2 – 30 MHz.

Sky Waves are reflected off the ionosphere

They are used for amateur radio and long distance aircraft and ship communication.

Space waves:

This is for very high frequency waves (30 – 300 MHz).

Space Waves only travel in straight lines (line of sight). They are used for mobile phones, two-way radio and radar.

hope this helps you.......

Answer 2

Sky wave propagation takes place up to frequency of about 40 MHz.

A space wave travels in a straight line from transmitting antenna to the receiving antenna.
