>11% closer to the transmitter site
This is completely outside of my area of expertise, but doesn't the radio signal strength decrease exponentially? So that last 11% could be a big deal?
- Piskvorrr 9y agoInverse square, so you're in the vicinity of being correct: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Inverse-square_law
- muxator 9y agoQuadratically. Line-of-sight attenuation of an EM wave in the empty space is quadratical, whilst - for example - attenuation of an electrical signal in a wire is exponential. Obviously this is a super simplification...
- josu 9y agoOh, that makes sense. Thanks for your explanation, good enough for now :)
