  2. Grating lobes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grating_lobes

    A typical radiation pattern of phased arrays whose inter-element spacing is greater than half a wavelength, hence the radiation pattern has grating lobes.. For discrete aperture antennas (such as phased arrays) in which the element spacing is greater than a half wavelength, a spatial aliasing effect allows plane waves incident to the array from visible angles other than the desired direction ...

  3. Sidelobes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sidelobes

    In antenna engineering, sidelobes are the lobes (local maxima) of the far field radiation pattern of an antenna or other radiation source, that are not the main lobe.. The radiation pattern of most antennas shows a pattern of "lobes" at various angles, directions where the radiated signal strength reaches a maximum, separated by "nulls", angles at which the radiated signal strength falls to zero.

  4. Common envelope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Common_envelope

    A common envelope is formed in a binary star system when the orbital separation decreases rapidly or one of the stars expands rapidly. [2] The donor star will start mass transfer when it overfills its Roche lobe and as a consequence the orbit will shrink further causing it to overflow the Roche lobe even more, which accelerates the mass ...

  5. Camshaft - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Camshaft

    The lobe separation angle (LSA, also called lobe centreline angle) is the angle between the centreline of the intake lobes and the centreline of the exhaust lobes. [23] A higher LSA reduces overlap, which improves idle quality and intake vacuum, [22] however using a wider LSA to compensate for excessive duration can reduce power and torque ...

  6. Lobes of liver - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lobes_of_liver

    The right lobe is of a somewhat quadrilateral form. Its under and posterior surfaces being marked by three fossæ: the fossa for the portal vein, the fossa for the gall-bladder and the fossae for the inferior vena cava. These separate the right lobe into two smaller lobes on its left posterior part: the quadrate lobe and the caudate lobe.

  7. Roche lobe - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Roche_lobe

    In astronomy, the Roche lobe is the region around a star in a binary system within which orbiting material is gravitationally bound to that star. It is an approximately teardrop-shaped region bounded by a critical gravitational equipotential , with the apex of the teardrop pointing towards the other star (the apex is at the L 1 Lagrangian point ...

  8. Acoustic lobing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Acoustic_lobing

    Acoustic lobing refers to the radiation pattern of a combination of two or more loudspeaker drivers at a certain frequency, as seen looking at the speaker from its side.In most multi-way speakers, it is at the crossover frequency that the effects of lobing are of greatest concern, since this determines how well the speaker preserves the tonality of the original recorded content.

  9. Flow separation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_separation

    In fluid dynamics, flow separation or boundary layer separation is the detachment of a boundary layer from a surface into a wake. [1] A boundary layer exists whenever there is relative movement between a fluid and a solid surface with viscous forces present in the layer of fluid close to the surface. The flow can be externally, around a body ...
