  2. Transmission medium - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_medium

    Unguided transmission media are methods that allow the transmission of data without the use of physical means to define the path it takes. Examples of this include microwave , radio or infrared . Unguided media provide a means for transmitting electromagnetic waves but do not guide them; examples are propagation through air, vacuum and seawater.

  3. Mode (electromagnetism) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mode_(electromagnetism)

    Modes in other structures Bloch modes, modes of Bloch waves; these occur in periodically repeating structures. [7]: 291 Mode names are sometimes prefixed with quasi-, meaning that the mode is not quite pure. For instance, quasi-TEM mode has a small component of longitudinal field. [8]: 123

  4. Transverse mode - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_mode

    A transverse mode of electromagnetic radiation is a particular electromagnetic field pattern of the radiation in the plane perpendicular (i.e., transverse) to the radiation's propagation direction. Transverse modes occur in radio waves and microwaves confined to a waveguide, and also in light waves in an optical fiber and in a laser's optical ...

  5. Ballistic conduction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ballistic_conduction

    where g s = 2, due to spin degeneracy, e is the electron charge, h is the Planck constant, and are the Fermi levels of A and B, M(E) is the number of propagating modes in the channel, f′(E) is the deviation from the equilibrium electron distribution (perturbation), and T(E) is the transmission probability (T = 1 for ballistic).

  6. Transmittance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmittance

    Hemispherical transmittance of a surface, denoted T, is defined as [2] =, where Φ e t is the radiant flux transmitted by that surface into the hemisphere on the opposite side from the incident radiation;

  7. Transmission line - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transmission_line

    They were developed by Oliver Heaviside who created the transmission line model, and are based on Maxwell's equations. Schematic representation of the elementary component of a transmission line. The transmission line model is an example of the distributed-element model. It represents the transmission line as an infinite series of two-port ...

  8. Transport phenomena - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transport_phenomena

    In engineering, physics, and chemistry, the study of transport phenomena concerns the exchange of mass, energy, charge, momentum and angular momentum between observed and studied systems. While it draws from fields as diverse as continuum mechanics and thermodynamics, it places a heavy emphasis on the commonalities between the topics covered ...
