Diffraction is the bending of waves around obstacles. When a wave hits an obstacle, it will be diffracted in various directions and these different waves can combine to form new shapes. This phenomenon also occurs with wireless signals because they are electromagnetic waves. What effect does this have on a wireless signal’s propagation? The effect of diffraction on a wireless signal is that when it hits an obstacle, the waves will bend in various directions. This can result in some or all of the original wave being blocked or reflected by other objects and not reach its intended destination When this happens to a wireless signal, multiple signals could be received at one time which would cause interference with each others. This means there’s less space for devices such as telephones, tablets etc to share their bandwidths within range. As a consequence of these effects, data rates are lower because they need more power output from the transmitter than if there was no obstruction present.
