The Line of sight is a type of propagation that can transmit and receive data only where transmit and receive stations are in view of each other without any sort of an obstacle between them. Check FAQs

LOS = 3577 \cdot (\sqrt{h r} + \sqrt{h t})

LOS - Line of Sight?h_r - Height of Receiving Antenna?h_t - Height of Transmitting Antenna?

Line of Sight Solution

Follow our step by step solution on how to calculate Line of Sight?

FIRST Step Consider the formula

LOS = 3577 \cdot (\sqrt{h r} + \sqrt{h t})

Next Step Substitute values of Variables

∴

LOS = 3577 \cdot (\sqrt{70m} + \sqrt{32m})

Next Step Prepare to Evaluate

∴

LOS = 3577 \cdot (\sqrt{70} + \sqrt{32})

Next Step Evaluate

∴

LOS = 50161.8967995581m

LAST Step Rounding Answer

∴

LOS = 50161.8968m

Line of Sight

The Line of sight is a type of propagation that can transmit and receive data only where transmit and receive stations are in view of each other without any sort of an obstacle between them.

Symbol: LOS

Measurement: LengthUnit: m

Note: Value should be greater than 0.

Formulas to find Line of Sight

Height of Receiving Antenna

The Height of receiving antenna is the height at which receives radiofrequency radiation and converts it into electric currents in an electric circuit connected to the antenna.

How to Evaluate Line of Sight?

Line of Sight evaluator uses Line of Sight = 3577*(sqrt(Height of Receiving Antenna)+sqrt(Height of Transmitting Antenna)) to evaluate the Line of Sight, The Line of Sight formula is defined as the imaginary line between an observer and the target. In communication, line of sight is the direct path from a transmitter to the receiver and the obstructions that may fall in that path. Some forms of wireless transmission are completely blocked if anything comes between the transmitter and receiver. Line of Sight is denoted by LOS symbol.

How to evaluate Line of Sight using this online evaluator? To use this online evaluator for Line of Sight, enter Height of Receiving Antenna (h_r) & Height of Transmitting Antenna (h_t) and hit the calculate button.

FAQs on Line of Sight

What is the formula to find Line of Sight?

The formula of Line of Sight is expressed as Line of Sight = 3577*(sqrt(Height of Receiving Antenna)+sqrt(Height of Transmitting Antenna)). Here is an example- 50161.9 = 3577*(sqrt(70)+sqrt(32)).

How to calculate Line of Sight?

With Height of Receiving Antenna (h_r) & Height of Transmitting Antenna (h_t) we can find Line of Sight using the formula - Line of Sight = 3577*(sqrt(Height of Receiving Antenna)+sqrt(Height of Transmitting Antenna)). This formula also uses Square Root (sqrt) function(s).

Can the Line of Sight be negative?

No, the Line of Sight, measured in Length cannot be negative.

Which unit is used to measure Line of Sight?

Line of Sight is usually measured using the Meter[m] for Length. Millimeter[m], Kilometer[m], Decimeter[m] are the few other units in which Line of Sight can be measured.
