  2. Doppler effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_effect

    The Doppler effect (also Doppler shift) is the change in the frequency of a wave in relation to an observer who is moving relative to the source of the wave. [ 1 ] [ 2 ] [ 3 ] The Doppler effect is named after the physicist Christian Doppler , who described the phenomenon in 1842.

  3. Radio frequency - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_frequency

    Radio frequency (RF) is the oscillation rate of an alternating electric current or voltage or of a magnetic, electric or electromagnetic field or mechanical system in the frequency [1] range from around 20 kHz to around 300 GHz.

  4. Frequency offset - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_offset

    In order to reduce the interference from the fringe area transmitters transmitting in the same channels, a method named frequency offset is often used. By this method, a slightly shifted RF is assigned for a transmitter which may experience interference from other transmitters. In TV transmission, the shifted RF is calculated by the formula;

  5. Doppler broadening - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Doppler_broadening

    where is the observed frequency, is the frequency in the rest frame, is the velocity of the emitter towards the observer, and is the speed of light. Since there is a distribution of speeds both toward and away from the observer in any volume element of the radiating body, the net effect will be to broaden the observed line.

  6. Chemical shift - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chemical_shift

    Chemical shift δ is usually expressed in parts per million (ppm) by frequency, because it is calculated from [5] =, where ν sample is the absolute resonance frequency of the sample, and ν ref is the absolute resonance frequency of a standard reference compound, measured in the same applied magnetic field B 0.

  7. Smith chart - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smith_chart

    Using the Smith chart, the normalised impedance may be obtained with appreciable accuracy by plotting the point representing the reflection coefficient treating the Smith chart as a polar diagram and then reading its value directly using the characteristic Smith chart scaling. This technique is a graphical alternative to substituting the values ...

  8. Radio spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_spectrum

    A radio band is a small frequency band (a contiguous section of the range of the radio spectrum) in which channels are usually used or set aside for the same purpose. To prevent interference and allow for efficient use of the radio spectrum, similar services are allocated in bands.

  9. Ponderomotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponderomotive_force

    A quadrupole electric field is displayed for reference, which oscillates at a given frequency . The blue line represents the ion path in the transversal (or radial) direction of a linear trap, while the orange line is the secular (slow) motion resulting from the ponderomotive force due to the electric field onto the ion.
