Why are 5G mmWave signals blocked?

5G mmWave signals more likely to be blocked by physical barriers such as walls, buildings, and trees because its signals are transmitted at higher frequencies (option D). This can be explained in the following way: Lower frequency bands cover a longer distance but have a slower data rate.

What are the limitations of 5G mmWave?

Millimeter waves — often referred to as mmWaves or high-band 5G — are frequencies starting at 24 GHz and beyond. As radio waves increase in frequency, each wave narrows in length. Because of its high frequencies, mmWave has a limited range of only 300 to 500 feet and struggles to penetrate buildings .
