The size of a target's image on radar is measured by the radar cross section or RCS, often represented by the symbol σ and expressed in square meters. This does not equal geometric area. A perfectly conducting sphere of projected cross sectional area 1 m 2 (i.e. a diameter of 1.13 m) will have an RCS of 1 m 2. For radar wavelengths much less ...
The spike-triggered averaging (STA) is a tool for characterizing the response properties of a neuron using the spikes emitted in response to a time-varying stimulus. The STA provides an estimate of a neuron's linear receptive field. It is a useful technique for the analysis of electrophysiological data.
A common method to investigate LFP oscillations that lead to spikes is to calculate spike-triggered averages (see figure). This is done after the recording (off line) by detecting the spikes as fast downward deflections, cutting out the temporal sections around the spike (+/- 250 ms) and averaging the spike-aligned traces for each recording ...
Draw a bar-graph histogram with the bar-height of bin i given by in units of estimated spikes per second at time . The optimal bin size (assuming an underlying Poisson point process) Δ is a minimizer of the formula, (2k-v)/Δ 2 , where k and v are mean and variance of k i .
Standard addition involves adding known amounts of analyte to an unknown sample, a process known as spiking.By increasing the number of spikes, the analyst can extrapolate for the analyte concentration in the unknown that has not been spiked. [2]
In control theory, overshoot refers to an output exceeding its final, steady-state value. [2] For a step input, the percentage overshoot (PO) is the maximum value minus the step value divided by the step value.
In stochastic processes, chaos theory and time series analysis, detrended fluctuation analysis (DFA) is a method for determining the statistical self-affinity of a signal. It is useful for analysing time series that appear to be long-memory processes (diverging correlation time, e.g. power-law decaying autocorrelation function) or 1/f noise.
At instances when the forward wave at x = 0 is at zero phase (peak voltage) then at x = 10 m it would also be at zero phase, but at x = 5 m it would be at 180° phase (peak negative voltage). On the other hand, the magnitude of the voltage due to a standing wave produced by its addition to a reflected wave, would have a wavelength between peaks ...
