Page 138 Effects of multipath-induced fading Radio waves are emitted from the controller’s antennas in all directions (with varying amplitude). If there is no obstruction, then some waves will reach the aircraft in a straight line (direct waves). Some other waves may reach the aircraft by bouncing off the ground, trees, buildings, uneven terrain, other objects, etc. (reflected waves).
Page 139 Figure . Conceptual diagram of multipath-induced fading A location where multipath waves completely cancel each other out is called a “null point”. If the aircraft happens to move into a null point of the controller, then the signals for the controller will be too weak to be received, resulting in a communications disruption.
