  2. Carrier lifetime - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_Lifetime

    In semiconductor lasers, the carrier lifetime is the time it takes an electron before recombining via non-radiative processes in the laser cavity. In the frame of the rate equations model, carrier lifetime is used in the charge conservation equation as the time constant of the exponential decay of carriers.

  3. Carrier generation and recombination - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_generation_and...

    In solid-state physics of semiconductors, carrier generation and carrier recombination are processes by which mobile charge carriers (electrons and electron holes) are created and eliminated. Carrier generation and recombination processes are fundamental to the operation of many optoelectronic semiconductor devices , such as photodiodes , light ...

  4. Costas loop - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Costas_loop

    A Costas loop is a phase-locked loop (PLL) based circuit which is used for carrier frequency recovery from suppressed-carrier modulation signals (e.g. double-sideband suppressed carrier signals) and phase modulation signals (e.g. BPSK, QPSK). It was invented by John P. Costas at General Electric in the 1950s.

  5. Carrier recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_recovery

    A carrier recovery system is a circuit used to estimate and compensate for frequency and phase differences between a received signal's carrier wave and the receiver's local oscillator for the purpose of coherent demodulation.

  6. Transient recovery voltage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transient_Recovery_Voltage

    Examples of TRV waveshapes. A transient recovery voltage (TRV) for high-voltage circuit breakers is the voltage that appears across the terminals after current interruption. It is a critical parameter for fault interruption by a high-voltage circuit breaker, its characteristics (amplitude, rate of rise) can lead either to a successful current interruption or to a failure (called reignition or ...

  7. Energy recovery - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy_recovery

    The energy can be in any form in either subsystem, but most energy recovery systems exchange thermal energy in either sensible or latent form. In some circumstances the use of an enabling technology, either daily thermal energy storage or seasonal thermal energy storage (STES, which allows heat or cold storage between opposing seasons), is ...

  8. Carrier frequency offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Carrier_frequency_offset

    Given a carrier frequency offset,Δ, the received continuous-time signal will be rotated by a constant frequency and is in the form of , = | = (+) + + The carrier frequency offset can first be normalized with respect to the sub carrier spacing (= / ()) and then decomposed into the integral component () and fractional component (), that is, = (+) and <.

  9. Conservative vector field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Conservative_vector_field

    In vector calculus, a conservative vector field is a vector field that is the gradient of some function. [1] A conservative vector field has the property that its line integral is path independent; the choice of path between two points does not change the value of the line integral. Path independence of the line integral is equivalent to the ...
