Quel phénomène de propagation se produit-il lorsqu'une communication VHF est transmise à plus de 800 km?

  1. ALa réfraction par la couche
  2. BLa réfraction ionosphérique
  3. CLa propagation troposphérique guidée (par conduit)
  4. DLa rotation de Faraday

Correct answer: C — La propagation troposphérique guidée (par conduit). Question tirée de la banque officielle d'ISDE.

Why

Tropospheric ducting occurs when layers of air in the lower atmosphere act like a pipe, trapping VHF signals and guiding them hundreds of kilometres beyond the normal horizon. 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.
