Hey Everyone,

I have a question that's been bothering me for a couple days, and I can't conclusively form an answer.

When an RF signal is transmitted, it will end up getting reflected from buildings, mountains, and other objects. I realize that the angle in which the wave is sent can be changed when its reflected, but can the actual azimuthal radiation pattern of the RF signal change as well? Also, can the polarization change?

I would appreciate any input and thoughts on this!

Thanks,

Austin

 

Hello,

What you are talking about is called propagation of waves:
