Radio Wave Propagation types
. Sky wave propagation
Waves in the HF range and some times frequencies just
above or below it are reflected by the ionized layers of the atmosphere and
therefore known as sky wave propagation. Sky wave comes down to the earth due
to reflection at some distant point will beyond horizon.
•Three
layers:
–Troposphere: earth’s surface to about 6.5 mi
–Stratosphere: extends from the troposphere upwards for
about 23 mi
–Ionosphere: extends from the stratosphere upwards for
about 250mi
–Beyond
this layer is free space
