The Relationship between Radio Waves and
Building Structure and Materials
• The transmitting range is affected more by the building materials
and thickness of the material than the number of obstacles.
• Radio waves tend to be reflected or diffracted by conductive
objects and rarely penetrate them.
• Radio waves tend to penetrate insulated objects and are rarely
reflected by them.
• Radio waves penetrate thin objects more than thick objects.
• The table below shows the transmission tendency of radio waves
when they reach objects made from various materials.

The thicker they are, the less radio waves penetrate them.
Radio waves can penetrate them, but the more iron there is,
the more radio waves are reflected.
Radio waves usually penetrate them.
Radio waves can penetrate them, but tend to be reflected.
Radio waves are weakened considerably when they penetrate
windows.
