4.1.2 Penetration of Obstacles
The longer the distance is that the radio signals have to cover when penetrating an obstacle, the more
are the radio signals dampened by the obstacle.
The distance depends on the obstacle's thickness and whether the obstacle is penetrated straightly or
at an angle. The thicker an obstacle, the longer is the distance which the radio signals have to cover
during penetration of obstacles.
Straight penetration
If the radio signals can straightly penetrate a wall, for example, then the distance through the wall is
shorter and therefore the damping of the radio signals is lower.
Penetration at an angle
If the radio signals have to penetrate a wall at an angle, for example, to get from device to the other,
the distance through the wall is further and therefore the damping is greater than with radio signals
that straightly penetrate the wall.
