Plane Earth Loss- LOS
• When the wave interacts with the ground or some other obstruction we no longer have free space propagation to the receiver

28
Plane Earth Loss- Fresnel Diffraction
• Non-LOS communication involves an additional loss due to Diffraction

Earth Bulgehttp://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/bbfw/ptop/p2pspg02/spg02ch2.htm#xtocid19
Earth BulgeWhen planning for paths longer than seven miles, the curvature of the earth might become a factor in path planning and require that the antenna be located higher off the ground. The additional antenna height needed can be calculated using the following formula:

2DH =where H = Height of earth bulge (in feet)D = Distance between antennas (in miles)

Earth Bulge with Fresnel Diffractionhttp://www.cisco.com/univercd/cc/td/doc/product/wireless/bbfw/ptop/p2pspg02/spg02ch2.htm#xtocid19
Minimum Antenna HeightThe minimum antenna height at each end of the link for paths longer than seven miles (for smooth terrain without obstructions) is the height of the First Fresnel Zone plus the additional height required to clear the earth bulge. The formula would be:
