(a) True

(b) False

The question was posed to me during an internship interview.

I'd like to ask this question from Frequency Discrimination Method in division SSB Modulation of Analog Communications

Answer 1

Right option is (a) True

To elaborate: A skip distance is a distance between the point, where the radio waves from a transmitter are transmitted and the point where the waves are received, after having been refracted by different layers of the ionosphere. It basically depends on time of day as well as on angle of incidence.
