It's pretty obvious that the high albedo of Enceladus is due to anisotropic backscattering, light being reflected back towards it origin preferentially.

"Implementation of easily tunable wavelength specific backscattering on larger scales still remains a challenge, but its realization will have a substantial impact on the efficient harvesting of phototrophic microorganisms and reducing parasitic growth," says Sureshkumar.

The mathematics will be a bit different but there are at least some qualitative similarities in so far as radiation is being blocked (but by backscattering rather than absorption - it would be like putting a double-sided mirror in between the surface and space; the atmosphere would control radiative transfer but not actually gain or lose energy directly by it if scattering occurs without absorption / emission).

Since the Gen 2 protocol is based on backscattering technology, the RF signal transmitted by the tag must be at the exact same phase lock loop (PLL) with memory to lock the oscillating frequency of the circuits to the incoming RF signal from the reader during receiving mode.
