  2. Scattering parameters - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering_parameters

    Note the format of the parameter notation SXYab, where "S" stands for scattering parameter or S-parameter, "X" is the response mode (differential or common), "Y" is the stimulus mode (differential or common), "a" is the response (output) port and b is the stimulus (input) port. This is the typical nomenclature for scattering parameters.

  3. Scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scattering

    In mathematics, scattering theory deals with a more abstract formulation of the same set of concepts. For example, if a differential equation is known to have some simple, localized solutions, and the solutions are a function of a single parameter, that parameter can take the conceptual role of time. One then asks what might happen if two such ...

  4. Mie scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mie_scattering

    Mie scattering (sometimes referred to as a non-molecular scattering or aerosol particle scattering) takes place in the lower 4,500 m (15,000 ft) of the atmosphere, where many essentially spherical particles with diameters approximately equal to the wavelength of the incident ray may be present. Mie scattering theory has no upper size limitation ...

  5. Cross section (physics) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cross_section_(physics)

    The differential angular range of the scattered particle at angle θ is the solid angle element dΩ = sin θ dθ dφ. The differential cross section is the quotient of these quantities, ⁠ dσ / dΩ ⁠. It is a function of the scattering angle (and therefore also the impact parameter), plus other observables such as the momentum of the ...

  6. Network analyzer (electrical) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Network_analyzer_(electrical)

    A VNA is a test system that enables the RF performance of radio frequency and microwave devices to be characterised in terms of network scattering parameters, or S parameters. The diagram shows the essential parts of a typical 2-port vector network analyzer (VNA). The two ports of the device under test (DUT) are denoted port 1 (P1) and port 2 ...

  7. Phonon scattering - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phonon_scattering

    These scattering mechanisms are: Umklapp phonon-phonon scattering, phonon-impurity scattering, phonon-electron scattering, and phonon-boundary scattering. Each scattering mechanism can be characterised by a relaxation rate 1/ τ {\displaystyle \tau } which is the inverse of the corresponding relaxation time.

  8. Radiative transfer equation and diffusion theory for photon ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radiative_transfer...

    The RTE is a differential equation describing radiance (, ^,).It can be derived via conservation of energy.Briefly, the RTE states that a beam of light loses energy through divergence and extinction (including both absorption and scattering away from the beam) and gains energy from light sources in the medium and scattering directed towards the beam.

  9. S-matrix - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/S-matrix

    In physics, the S-matrix or scattering matrix is a matrix that relates the initial state and the final state of a physical system undergoing a scattering process. It is used in quantum mechanics , scattering theory and quantum field theory (QFT).
