  2. Spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spread_spectrum

    Moreover, for a given noise power spectral density (PSD), spread-spectrum systems require the same amount of energy per bit before spreading as narrowband systems and therefore the same amount of power if the bitrate before spreading is the same, but since the signal power is spread over a large bandwidth, the signal PSD is much lower — often ...

  3. Chirp spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chirp_spread_spectrum

    Chirp spread spectrum is ideal for applications requiring low power usage and needing relatively low data rates (1 Mbit/s or less). In particular, IEEE 802.15.4a specifies CSS as a technique for use in low-rate wireless personal area networks (LR-WPAN). However, whereas IEEE 802.15.4-2006 standard specifies that WPANs encompass an area of 10 m ...

  4. Direct-sequence spread spectrum - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/.../Direct-sequence_spread_spectrum

    Direct-sequence spread-spectrum transmissions multiply the symbol sequence being transmitted with a spreading sequence that has a higher rate than the original message rate. Usually, sequences are chosen such that the resulting spectrum is spectrally white. Knowledge of the same sequence is used to reconstruct the original data at the receiving ...

  5. Microwave auditory effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Microwave_auditory_effect

    Numerous individuals suffering from auditory hallucinations, delusional disorders, [18] or other mental illnesses have claimed that government agents use forms of mind control technologies based on microwave signals to transmit sounds and thoughts into their heads as a form of electronic harassment, referring to the alleged technology as "voice ...

  6. Frequency modulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Frequency_modulation

    The technology is used in telecommunications, radio broadcasting, signal processing, and computing. In analog frequency modulation, such as radio broadcasting, of an audio signal representing voice or music, the instantaneous frequency deviation , i.e. the difference between the frequency of the carrier and its center frequency, has a ...

  7. SOFAR channel - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SOFAR_channel

    The SOFAR channel (short for sound fixing and ranging channel), or deep sound channel (DSC), [1] is a horizontal layer of water in the ocean at which depth the speed of sound is at its minimum. The SOFAR channel acts as a waveguide for sound, and low frequency sound waves within the channel may travel thousands of miles before dissipating.

  8. Sound localization - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sound_localization

    Sound spectrum: High frequencies are more quickly damped by the air than low frequencies. Therefore, a distant sound source sounds more muffled than a close one, because the high frequencies are attenuated. For sound with a known spectrum (e.g. speech) the distance can be estimated roughly with the help of the perceived sound.

  9. Noise floor - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Noise_floor

    Measurement from a spectrum analyzer showing a noise-like measurement from an unspecified component.. In signal theory, the noise floor is the measure of the signal created from the sum of all the noise sources and unwanted signals within a measurement system, where noise is defined as any signal other than the one being monitored.
