222(2) Multipath transfer
Noise caused by bouncing of radio waves off
obstructions is called "multipath transfer".
Multipath transfer occurs when a signal from
the broadcast transmitter antenna reflects off
buildings and mountains and interferes with
the signal that is received directly.
(3) Fade out
Because FM radio waves are of higher frequen-
cies than AM radio waves, they are reflected
off buildings, mountains, and other obstructions.
For this reason, FM signals often seem to gradu-
ally disappear or fade away as the vehicle goes
behind a building or other obstructions. This is
called "fade out".
4. Noise faults
For noise troubleshooting it is very important to understand the feedback information from the customers
well, so make the best use of the following questionnaire and diagnose the fault accurately.
