In space wave propagation, radio waves (having wavelength λ ) are transmitted from transmitter (having height T) and reaches the receiver (having height R) located at a distance, d, by two methods (d << T, d << R). The first is the direct transmission from transmitter to the antenna. The second is the transmission from transmitter to the earth surface, followed by reflection from the earth surface.

It may be assumed that the reflection, from the earth’s surface takes place from a point midway between the transmitter and the receiver. Considering that the amplitude of both the waves is E, then the resultant field strength amplitude (ER) will be equal to,
