Nulling

Near-total cancellation of a signal caused by multipath copies arriving 180 degrees out of phase.

Definition

Nulling occurs when reflected copies cancel the main signal. Downfade is partial cancellation; nulling is complete or nearly complete. Moving the receiver slightly often recovers the signal.

Exam tip

Downfade is partial loss; nulling is cancellation.
