Definition

Radio wave reflection occurs when radio waves encounter a surface and bounce off it. The characteristics of the reflected wave, such as its time of travel and angle, can provide information about the object that caused the reflection.

Why it matters (in Poovi’s context)

This is a fundamental mechanism by which the mmWave sensor determines the distance and angle of a person.

Key properties or components

  • Wave bouncing off surfaces
  • Time of flight measurement
  • Angle determination
  • Distance sensing

Contradictions or debates

None.
