Numerical - Antenna height for transmission of signal

Q.  The minimum antenna height required for transmission in reference to wavelength λ is
- Published on 13 Oct 15

a. λ
b. λ/4
c. λ/2
d. 4 λ

ANSWER: λ/4
 
For effective transmission of signal by the transmitter, the antenna height should be at least quarter length of the signal wavelength i.e., λ/4

L= λ/4
= c/4f

Required antenna height decreases with increase in frequency of the signal so modulation is done. With modulation, the low frequency signals are shifted to high frequency signals.
