• Massive objects made of metal, such as metallic separation walls and metal inserted ceilings, massive wall reinforcements and the metal
foil of heat insulations, reect electromagnetic waves and thus create what is known as radio shadow. However singularized small metal
studs, e.g. the metal studs of a gypsum dry wall, don’t show a recognizable screening.
• Internal antenna, mounted on metal surfaces (typically 30% loss of range)
• Using any type of antenna inside metallic frames (typically 30% loss of range)

• Metal separation walls: It can be noticed that radio transmission even works with metal indoor separation walls. This happens through
reections: Walls made of metal or concrete reect the electromagnetic waves. The radio waves reach the next room or oor via a non
metallic opening.
