RF Properties
Diffraction
Diffraction occurs when the radio path between
the transmitter and receiver is obstructed by a
surface that has sharp irregularities or an other
wise rough surface
Diffraction is commonly confused with refraction.
Diffraction describes a wave bending around an obstacle,
whereas refraction describes a wave bending as it ravels
from a medium of one density to a medium of another
density (fog).
RF Properties
Absorption
Absorption occurs when the RF signal
strikes an object and is absorbed into the
material in such a manner that it does not
pass through, reflect off, or bend around
the object.
