Question 1

Antenna & Wave PropagationSkip Distance

Skip distance in sky-wave propagation is the minimum distance from the transmitter at which a wave of specified frequency is?

AReturned to Earth by the ionosphere
BAbsorbed completely by the antenna
CConverted to a ground current
DGuaranteed to have zero fading

Show AnswerHide Answer Report an error

Correct Answer: A. Returned to Earth by the ionosphere

Explanation: Skip distance is the shortest ground distance at which a given sky wave returns to Earth under the prevailing ionospheric conditions.

Reference: Standard antenna and wave propagation: skip distance

Question 2

Antenna & Wave PropagationSkip Distance

The region between the end of useful ground-wave coverage and the first returned sky wave may be called the?

ASkip zone
BMain lobe
CFresnel aperture
DCapture zone

Correct Answer: A. Skip zone

Explanation: The skip zone is an area where neither the ground wave nor the first ionospheric return provides reception.
