Fig. 2

Measured bit error rate (BER) for a 2-m link which incorporates a specular reflection from a cinderblock wall, as shown in the top left photo. The effects of absorption and scattering are separated by measuring the link on the bare wall (blue points), the same wall with a conformal metal foil coating that eliminates penetration into the cinderblock (red points), and a flat metal plate which eliminates both absorption and scattering (black points). The photo images in (a) depict the three situations corresponding to the measurements in (b). Reprinted from Ma, J., Shrestha, R., Moeller, L. & Mittleman, D.
