It is shown experimentally that metallic corrugations on the surface of a building can improve the signal strength in the shadow region due to surface‐wave propagation. This signal strength can be improved further by using horn structures. The effect of multipath propagation is also examined. © 2005 Wiley Periodicals, Inc.
