Fading describes the variation or weakening of a signal as it travels through a transmission medium, especially in wireless communication. It occurs when radio waves are reflected, scattered, or absorbed by obstacles such as buildings, terrain, or atmospheric conditions. These effects cause fluctuations in signal strength and quality over time, frequency, or space. Different types of fading include multipath fading, where multiple delayed copies of the signal interfere, and shadow fading, caused by large obstacles blocking the path. Understanding and mitigating fading is essential for reliable mobile networks, Wi-Fi, satellite links, and other radio-based communication systems.
