Used for a line of Sight communication also known as LoS. Space satellite communication and very high-frequency waves use this propagation method. It basically involves sending a signal in a straight line from the transmitter to the receiver. We must ensure that for very large distances, the height of the tower used for transmission is high enough to prevent waves from touching the earth curvature thus preventing attenuation and loss of signal strength.

There is a very important relationship for determining the height of the antennas and their corresponding distance of transmission given by:

Dm=(2RHt)-1/2 +(2RHr)-1/2

where Dm=distancbetweenen 2 antennas; R=Radius of earth=6400 km Ht=Height of transmission antenna; Hr=Height of receiver antenna. Also, very important to note is  another important relation to determining the range of transmission(Dt) for a given antenna of height Ht is:

Dt=(2RHt)-1/2

Thus we have reached the end of this discussion. Wherein we have seen and studied about electromagnetic waves, understood the concept of their production and studied their properties. We also looked at various types of EM waves available, their utilization and studied the method of their propagation.

A thorough knowledge of these concepts and types of electromagnetic waves will help the reader understand their complex limitations and applications.
