356 views

I am just starting to dig into HAM radio, and in reading the guide on technician’s test, it refers to knife-edge diffraction. could someone explain to me, where this would be used, and how it is calculated. What problem does this solve or identify in a real world scenario.

If there is a wall between the transmitter and the receiver, then radio waves can be bent by the end of the wall. At some point oyu will be able to receive a signal even though you can’t see the transmitter tower yet.
