RF Calculator

Line of Sight Range Calculator

Estimate radio horizon distance from antenna heights.

Calculator

Formula

Distance km ≈ 3.57 × (√h1 + √h2)

Notes

Use this calculator as a first estimate. Real RF results depend on antenna placement, ground plane, connectors, cable routing and measurement conditions.

Frequently asked questions

Are RF calculator results exact?

No. They are estimates and should be verified with measurements.

Why do measured values differ?

PCB layout, cables, connectors, antenna placement and nearby objects affect RF performance.
