  2. Klystron - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Klystron

    Electrically, this is similar to the two cavity oscillator klystron with considerable feedback between the two cavities. Electrons exiting the source cavity are velocity modulated by the electric field as they travel through the drift tube and emerge at the destination chamber in bunches, delivering power to the oscillation in the cavity.

  3. Dynamic pressure - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dynamic_pressure

    In fluid dynamics, dynamic pressure (denoted by q or Q and sometimes called velocity pressure) is the quantity defined by: [1] = where (in SI units): q is the dynamic pressure in pascals (i.e., N/m 2, ρ (Greek letter rho) is the fluid mass density (e.g. in kg/m 3), and; u is the flow speed in m/s.

  4. Pitot tube - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pitot_tube

    Pressure in the tube can be measured as the moving fluid cannot escape and stagnates. This pressure is the stagnation pressure of the fluid, also known as the total pressure or (particularly in aviation) the pitot pressure. The measured stagnation pressure cannot itself be used to determine the fluid flow velocity (airspeed in aviation) directly.

  5. Very-long-baseline interferometry - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Very-long-baseline_interfe...

    The first SVLBI experiment was carried out on Salyut-6 orbital station with KRT-10, a 10-meter radio telescope, which was launched in July 1978. [citation needed] The first dedicated SVLBI satellite was HALCA, an 8-meter radio telescope, which was launched in February 1997 and made observations until October 2003. Due to the small size of the ...

  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.

  7. Radar signal characteristics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radar_signal_characteristics

    Regardless, radars that employ the technique are universally coherent, with a very stable radio frequency, and the pulse packets may also be used to make measurements of the Doppler shift (a velocity-dependent modification of the apparent radio frequency), especially when the PRFs are in the hundreds-of-kilohertz range. Radars exploiting ...

  8. Radio propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation

    Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel, or are propagated, from one point to another in vacuum, or into various parts of the atmosphere. [1]: 26‑1 As a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization, and scattering. [2]

  9. Amateur radio propagation beacon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amateur_radio_propagation...

    An amateur radio propagation beacon is a radio beacon, whose purpose is the investigation of the propagation of radio signals. Most radio propagation beacons use amateur radio frequencies. They can be found on LF, MF, HF, VHF, UHF, and microwave frequencies. Microwave beacons are also used as signal sources to test and calibrate antennas and ...
