Ground Wave |
|
Definition
radio waves that travel near surface of earth (2 Typer)
Surface wave: Reaches the receiving site by traveling along surface of the ground
Space Wave: follows two distinct paths from transmitting antenna to receiving antenna, one through air directly to receiving antenna, the other reflected from groung to reciving antenna |
