La distance jusqu'à l'Europe depuis votre emplacement est d'environ 5000 km. Quel genre de propagation haute fréquence (HF) est le plus susceptible de fonctionner?

  1. ALa propagation par rétrodiffusion ("back scatter")
  2. BLa propagation par diffusion troposphérique
  3. CLa propagation par sauts multiples
  4. DLa propagation par ionisation sporadique de la couche E

Correct answer: C — La propagation par sauts multiples. Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

Multi-hop works best for this 5000 km distance because high frequency signals bounce between the ionosphere and the ground multiple times to cover such a long range, much like skipping a stone across a lake. The full explanation — and one for every question — is in Pro.

Radio wave propagation is section B-007 of the Basic exam: How signals travel: the ionosphere and its layers, skip, ground wave, sporadic E, and which bands work when.
