What common problems will arise during the transmission and reception of radio waves?

Common problems during the transmission and reception of radio waves include interference from other signals, which can distort or drown out the desired signal. This can be caused by natural sources like lightning or man-made sources such as electronic devices. Additionally, obstacles like buildings, mountains, or atmospheric conditions can lead to signal attenuation or multipath propagation, where signals take multiple paths to the receiver, causing phase issues and degradation of the signal quality. Finally, receiver sensitivity and selectivity can also affect the clarity of the received signal.
