  2. Klystron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klystron

    Their work was preceded by the description of velocity modulation by A. Arsenjewa-Heil and Oskar Heil (wife and husband) in 1935, though the Varians were probably unaware of the Heils' work. [ 6 ] The work of physicist W. W. Hansen was instrumental in the development of the klystron and was cited by the Varian brothers in their 1939 paper.

  3. High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Accuracy_Radial...

    The HARPS can attain a precision of 0.97 m/s (3.5 km/h), [2] making it one of only two instruments worldwide with such accuracy. [citation needed] This is due to a design in which the target star and a reference spectrum from a thorium lamp are observed simultaneously using two identical optic fibre feeds, and to careful attention to mechanical stability: the instrument sits in a vacuum vessel ...

  4. Larkspur radio system - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Larkspur_radio_system

    Larkspur was the retrospectively adopted name of a tactical radio system used by the British Army. Its development started in the late 1940s with the first equipment being issued in the mid-1950s. It remained in service until replaced by Clansman in the late-1970s although some elements of Larkspur were still in service well into the 1980s. It ...

  5. Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_Metrewave_Radio...

    The Giant Metrewave Radio Telescope (GMRT), located near Narayangaon, Pune in India, is an array of thirty fully steerable parabolic radio telescopes of 45 metre diameter, observing at metre wavelengths. It is the largest and most sensitive radio telescope array in the world at low frequencies. [1]

  6. Doppler radio direction finding - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_radio_direction...

    The magnitude of the shift is a function of the wavelength of the signal and the angular velocity of the antenna: S = ⁠ r W / λ ⁠ Where S is the Doppler shift in frequency (Hz), r is the radius of the circle, W is the angular velocity in radians per second, λ is the target wavelength and c is the speed of light in meters per second. [13]

  7. Acoustic Doppler current profiler - Wikipedia

    The result is the net current profile. Bottom track provides the foundation for surveys of the water currents in coastal areas. In deep water where the acoustic signals cannot reach the bottom, the ship velocity is estimated from a more complex combination of velocity and heading information from GPS, gyro, etc.

  8. Yaesu FT-891 - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yaesu_FT-891

    A Yaesu FT-891 Radio Tuned to the 10 Meter Band. The Yaesu FT-891 is a HF and 6 meters all mode mobile amateur radio transceiver. The FT-891 was first announced to the public by Yaesu at the 2016 Dayton Hamvention. [1] The radio has 100 watts output on CW, SSB, and FM modulations and 25 watts of output in AM. [2]

  9. Speed of sound - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Speed_of_sound

    Pressure-pulse or compression-type wave (longitudinal wave) confined to a plane. This is the only type of sound wave that travels in fluids (gases and liquids). A pressure-type wave may also travel in solids, along with other types of waves (transverse waves, see below). Transverse wave affecting atoms initially confined to a plane. This ...
