Defining Glint and Glare
The two terms ‘glint’ and ‘glare’ refer to the unwanted reflection of the sun’s rays by the face of a reflective surface. The terms are defined below, based on definitions given by the Federal Aviation Authority (FAA) in the USA among other publications. Glint captured on solar photovoltaic panels. Glint…
How can new building developments affect the provision of terrestrial and satellite television signals?
Interference overview New building structures have the capability to degrade the integrity of television signals as they travel through free space from transmitter to a receiving aerial or satellite dish. These obstructions can impede the television signal strength and/or prevent its reception altogether. In urbanised environments, the impact of a…
