  2. Chirp - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp

    A chirp is a signal in which the frequency increases (up-chirp) or decreases (down-chirp) with time. In some sources, the term chirp is used interchangeably with sweep signal . [ 1 ] It is commonly applied to sonar , radar , and laser systems, and to other applications, such as in spread-spectrum communications (see chirp spread spectrum ).

  3. Chirp spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp_spread_spectrum

    In digital communications, chirp spread spectrum (CSS) is a spread spectrum technique that uses wideband linear frequency modulated chirp pulses to encode information. [1] A chirp is a sinusoidal signal whose frequency increases or decreases over time (often with a polynomial expression for the relationship between time and frequency).

  4. Brake fluid pressure sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brake_fluid_pressure_sensor

    The sensor has an input port to measure the hydraulic braking pressure and an electrical connector output for a wire connection for feeding the warning light.Some brake failures do not trip the sensor into a fault mode.

  5. Ionosonde - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ionosonde

    A chirp transmitter is a shortwave radio transmitter that sweeps the HF radio spectrum on a regular schedule. If one is monitoring a specific frequency, then a chirp is heard (in CW or SSB mode) when the signal passes through.

  6. 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.

    Also gas pedal. A throttle in the form of a foot-operated pedal, or sometimes a hand-operated lever or paddle, by which the flow of fuel to the engine (and thereby the engine speed) is controlled, with depression of the pedal causing the vehicle to accelerate. admission stroke See induction stroke. aftermarket air brake 1.

  8. Variable reluctance sensor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variable_reluctance_sensor

    Unfortunately, the low cost of the transducer is partially offset by the cost of the additional signal-processing circuitry needed to recover a useful signal. And because the magnitude of the signal developed by the VR sensor is proportional to target speed, it is difficult to design circuitry to accommodate very-low-speed signals.

  9. Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Integrated_Electronics...

    Integrated Electronics Piezo-Electric (IEPE) characterises a technical standard for piezoelectric sensors which contain built-in impedance conversion electronics. IEPE sensors are used to measure acceleration, force or pressure.
