signal reception
Catching broadcast waves
Signal reception is the process of receiving transmitted signals—radio waves, television broadcasts, cellular data, or other electromagnetic transmissions.
Reception quality depends on distance from the source, physical obstructions, and atmospheric conditions: The signal reception out here is terrible.
Poor reception means weak or interrupted signals; good reception means clear, reliable transmission.
