Does the rt module have refraction?

Hi @lysfeng111 ,

Sionna RT does not currently support refraction.

[lysfeng111]

Will there be refraction later?

As indicated in #528, we have an ongoing effort targeting refraction.

Hi, this may be a dumb question but does this mean that Sionna RT can't simulate transmission through objects/materials on a scene?

I'm assuming because refraction would be an inherent part of that but wondering if there's perhaps just a naive implementation where it assumes the boundary is planar or has no refraction properties.

Thank you so much. I'm Looking forward to this feature.
