I'm interested in how to understand exactly how radio waves will propagate in a particular situation. I know that they are absorbed by metal and water, pass through other materials albeit with loss of power, and reflect or bounce off of surfaces as well.
How do I know whether a radio wave will reflect off of something or not? How do I know, for either a LOS or NLOS link, how much of the waves that reach the target have (1) reflected off of surfaces or (2) traveled straight through the air or (3) traveled straight through objects (e.g., walls)?
I am specifically interested in the propagation of 900 MHz and 2.4 GHz radio waves.
(Or should this question be posted in a Physics forum?)
