Shadowing is a phenomenon in telecommunications that occurs when an object, such as a building, tree, or hill, obstructs the path of a wireless signal, causing a reduction in signal strength at the receiver. This is also known as signal attenuation.
When a wireless signal encounters an obstacle, it may be absorbed or reflected, causing some of the energy to be lost. This loss of signal strength can lead to degraded performance, increased error rates, and dropped calls in wireless communication systems.
Shadowing can be particularly problematic in urban areas where buildings and other structures can create large areas of signal attenuation, known as "urban canyons." In some cases, it may be possible to mitigate the effects of shadowing by using directional antennas or by placing antennas on higher structures such as towers or rooftops.
