Abstract :
The effects of large buildings on the propagation of radio waves are considered, in particular at the most commonly used terrestrial broadcasting frequencies (VHF or lower UHF). A numerical full wave analysis of the transmissions and scattering of complete buildings has been carried out and results are presented, showing is some cases a reduced attenuation and a considerable transparency.
