Which mechanism causes radio signal multipath propagation in urban canyons?

💡 Explanation

Multipath occurs because reflections of the transmitted waves interfere. The mechanism involved is wave interference causing signal variance. Constructive and destructive interference combine at the receiver creating deep fades and signal enhancements, rather than ducting, diffraction, or refraction.
