    Maximum Usable Frequency is the highest frequency that can be used for sky wave propagation between two points on Earth, calculated as the critical frequency multiplied by the secant of the angle of incidence. Skip Distance is the maximum distance a sky wave at a given frequency will travel before returning to Earth, with the Skip Zone being the area between where surface waves end and the first sky wave returns. For a critical frequency of 10 MHz and angle of incidence of 45 degrees, the Maximum Usable Frequency is calculated as 10 MHz x sec 45 degrees = 7.0711 MHz.

    Maximum Usable Frequency Skip Distance and Skip Zone

    Presented by: Fernando, Joanne Hazel S. BS ECE-4A

    Maximum Usable Frequency (MUF) - the highest frequency that can be used for sky wave propagation between two specific points on Earths surface.
    MUF = critical frequency cos i = critical frequency x sec i

    The Secant Law - it assumes a flat Earth and a flat reflecting layer. Optimum Working Frequency - the frequency 85% of the MUF. Example: Determine the maximum usable frequency for a critical frequency of 10 MHz and an angle of incidence of 45o.
    MUF = critical frequency x sec i = 10 MHz x sec 45o = 7.0711 Mhz

    Skip Distance (ds) - the maximum distance from a transmit antenna that a sky wave at a given frequency will be returned to Earth. Skip Zone - the area between where the surface waves arc completely dissipates and the point where the first sky wave returns to Earth.
