Hargrave's Kite

Hargrave’s Kite is a model used to understand how wireless signals, like those from radios or Wi-Fi, can be affected by obstacles. Imagine a kite with a string extending from it; the kite stays in the air, representing the transmitter, and the string symbolizes the signal path. When obstacles like buildings or hills come into contact with the string, they can block or weaken the signal, causing interference or dead zones. This concept helps engineers design better communication systems by understanding how signals behave around obstacles and finding ways to minimize disruptions for clearer transmission.
