than eyepiece lens// Objective lens must be shorter focal

length than eyepiece lens.

Same as focal length Signal are focused/converged to the receiver

Microwave Has high frequency / high energy

High The signal is not blocked / easy to be

detected

Choose K because Because it has large diameter,

Same as focal length, use microwave and locate at high position.
