  2. Longitudinal wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Longitudinal_wave

    "Longitudinal waves" and "transverse waves" have been abbreviated by some authors as "L-waves" and "T-waves", respectively, for their own convenience. [1] While these two abbreviations have specific meanings in seismology (L-wave for Love wave [2] or long wave [3]) and electrocardiography (see T wave), some authors chose to use "ℓ-waves" (lowercase 'L') and "t-waves" instead, although they ...

  3. Compressed sensing - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compressed_sensing

    Flow diagram figure for edge-preserving total-variation method for compressed sensing. This is an iterative CT reconstruction algorithm with edge-preserving TV regularization to reconstruct CT images from highly undersampled data obtained at low dose CT through low current levels (milliampere).

  4. Pulse compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pulse_compression

    Pulse compression is a signal processing technique commonly used by radar, sonar and echography to either increase the range resolution when pulse length is constrained or increase the signal to noise ratio when the peak power and the bandwidth (or equivalently range resolution) of the transmitted signal are constrained.

  5. Wave intensity analysis - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_intensity_analysis

    During the initial compression wave at the start of systole when the forward wave is dominant the local wave speed is estimated from the slope of the P-U loop | | In cases where there is no period during the cardiac cycle when it is obvious that forward waves dominate another method, generally called the 'sum of squares' method [5] is ...

  6. Transverse wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Transverse_wave

    The standard example of a longitudinal wave is a sound wave or "pressure wave" in gases, liquids, or solids, whose oscillations cause compression and expansion of the material through which the wave is propagating. Pressure waves are called "primary waves", or "P-waves" in geophysics. Water waves involve both longitudinal and transverse motions ...

  7. Chirp compression - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp_compression

    The chirp pulse compression process transforms a long duration frequency-coded pulse into a narrow pulse of greatly increased amplitude. It is a technique used in radar and sonar systems because it is a method whereby a narrow pulse with high peak power can be derived from a long duration pulse with low peak power.

  8. Shock wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Shock_wave

    The sound wave is heard as the familiar "thud" or "thump" of a sonic boom, commonly created by the supersonic flight of aircraft. The shock wave is one of several different ways in which a gas in a supersonic flow can be compressed. Some other methods are isentropic compressions, including Prandtl–Meyer compressions. The method of compression ...

  9. Seismic refraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Seismic_refraction

    S-wave refraction evaluates the shear wave generated by the seismic source located at a known distance from the array. The wave is generated by horizontally striking an object on the ground surface to induce the shear wave. Since the shear wave is the second fastest wave, it is sometimes referred to as the secondary wave. When compared to the ...
