This powerpoint presentation begins by providing a brief overview of radio waves. Three means of radio frequency (RF) propagation are presented, with the presentation focusing on line of sight propagation (LOS) and factors affecting LOS communications including: free-space attenuation; absorption; reflection; diffraction; scattering; transmitter power; receiver sensitivity; and, antenna design and configuration. Tips on installation and meter reading are provided. Includes figures.
