Upfade

Signal-strength increase caused by multipath copies arriving nearly in phase.

Definition

When reflected signals arrive in phase with the main signal, amplitudes add. The received signal can never exceed the original transmitted signal. Upfade is the opposite of downfade.

Exam tip

Upfade cannot make the received signal stronger than what was transmitted.
