Radiowave propagation

Radiowave propagation refers to how radio waves travel through the Earth's atmosphere and space. These waves move at the speed of light and can travel in straight lines, bend around obstacles, or reflect off surfaces like the Earth's surface or ionosphere. Factors such as frequency, terrain, weather, and atmospheric conditions influence how well radio waves reach their destination. Understanding propagation helps in designing effective communication systems, ensuring signals are transmitted reliably over distances, whether for radio, TV, or wireless networks.
