In a [[radio receiver]], the '''capture effect''' is a phenomenon associated with reception in which only the stronger of two or more signals received within the bandwidth of the receiver passband will be [[demodulation|demodulated]]. The Capture effect therefore enables frequency reuse of the same frequency by imposing a sufficient distance separation, e.g. used in AM communication in the [[Aeronautical mobile service|AM(R)S]] (Aeronautical mobile (R) service), or between [[FM broadcasting|FM-BC]] transmitter for the capture take effect. Alternatively the capture effect enables two frequency [[Instrument landing system localizer|ILS-Localizer]] (ILS-LOC) and [[Glide path|ILS-Glide-Path]] (ILS-GP) to operate at airports in presence of strong reflections, e.g. due to terrain and buildings.
