What is Maximum usable frequency.Discus maximum usable frequency in detail.
Maximum usable frequency is the highest frequency of the wave that is reflected by the layer at an angle of incidence other than normal.In other words the frequency at which radio communication just starts to fail is known as Maximum usable frequency (MUF). Maximum usable frequency depends on time of day,distance,direction,season and solar activity.
Maximum usable frequency is the highest frequency that can be used for sky wave propagation between transmitter and receiver.The common values of Maximum usable frequency range between 8 to 30 MHZ.However it may be 50MHZ at times
Maximum usable frequency is the maximum frequency that can be reflected back to our earth by ionospheric layer for a specific angle of incidence.
