  2. Radiosensitivity - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiosensitivity

    Fractionation of dose, dose rate, the application of antioxidants and other factors may affect the precise threshold at which a tissue reaction occurs. Tissue reactions include skin reactions (epilation, erythema, moist desquamation), cataracts, circulatory disease, and other conditions.

  3. Radioresistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radioresistance

    Radioresistance is the level of ionizing radiation that organisms are able to withstand.. Ionizing-radiation-resistant organisms (IRRO) were defined as organisms for which the dose of acute ionizing radiation (IR) required to achieve 90% reduction (D10) is greater than 1,000 gray (Gy) [1]

  4. Selectivity (radio) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Selectivity_(radio)

    LC circuits are often used as filters; the Q ("Quality" factor) determines the bandwidth of each LC tuned circuit in the radio. The L/C ratio, in turn, determines their Q and so their selectivity, because the rest of the circuit - the aerial or amplifier feeding the tuned circuit for example - will contain present resistance.

  5. Electromagnetic compatibility - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electromagnetic_compatibility

    It may be said that radio interference and its correction arose with the first spark-gap experiment of Marconi in the late 1800s. [3] As radio communications developed in the first half of the 20th century, interference between broadcast radio signals began to occur and an international regulatory framework was set up to ensure interference-free communications.

  6. Radiation protection - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_protection

    There are three factors that control the amount, or dose, of radiation received from a source. Radiation exposure can be managed by a combination of these factors: Time: Reducing the time of an exposure reduces the effective dose proportionally. An example of reducing radiation doses by reducing the time of exposures might be improving operator ...

  7. Radio receiver design - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_receiver_design

    The term radio receiver is understood in this article to mean any device which is intended to receive a radio signal in order to generate useful information from the signal, most notably a recreation of the so-called baseband signal (such as audio) which modulated the radio signal at the time of transmission in a communications or broadcast system.

  8. Radiation pattern - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiation_pattern

    It is a fundamental property of antennas that the receiving pattern (sensitivity as a function of direction) of an antenna when used for receiving is identical to the far-field radiation pattern of the antenna when used for transmitting. This is a consequence of the reciprocity theorem of electromagnetics and is proved below. Therefore, in ...

  9. Free-space path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Free-space_path_loss

    In telecommunications, the free-space path loss (FSPL) (also known as free-space loss, FSL) is the attenuation of radio energy between the feedpoints of two antennas that results from the combination of the receiving antenna's capture area plus the obstacle-free, line-of-sight (LoS) path through free space (usually air).
