2 Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society Foundation Licence Course Murray Niman G6JYB Slide Set 6: v1.2, 18-Sep-2009 (6) Propagation Mechanisms & Effects Waves Nominally Travel in Straight Lines Diffraction - Waves can spread out/around hills and obstacles. Such as after passing through narrow gaps and around corners Reflection - Waves (esp at UHF+) can bounce off buildings Refraction - VHF+ can be bent by high/low pressure - often termed lifts or ducting. HF is bent by the Ionosphere Other mechanisms include Meteor Scatter, Aurora, multipath, fading and Rain/Aircraft Scatter for microwaves.

3 Chelmsford Amateur Radio Society Foundation Licence Course Murray Niman G6JYB Slide Set 6: v1.2, 18-Sep-2009 (6) Propagation VHF/UHF VHF/UHF has almost line of sight propagation A clear path is much more effective to get a good signal than a 10 or 100 times increase in power. –For example Satellites can be accessed with low power at great distances if there are no obstructions Refraction/Diffraction over the Horizon does occur but is limited. Buildings/Hills will cause shadows and path loss In towns UHF+ reflects/scatters off buildings better. Higher antennas are better than high power, and outdoor antennas perform much better than indoor ones
