  2. Wave interference - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wave_interference

    Classically the two waves must have the same polarization to give rise to interference fringes since it is not possible for waves of different polarizations to cancel one another out or add together. Instead, when waves of different polarization are added together, they give rise to a wave of a different polarization state .

  3. Dipole speaker - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole_speaker

    For this reason dipole speakers are often used as surround channel speakers, where a diffuse sound is desired to create ambience. A dipole speaker works by creating air movement (as sound pressure waves) directly from the front and back surfaces of the driver, rather than by impedance matching one or both outputs to the air. As a result ...

  4. Out of Phase Stereo - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Out_Of_Phase_Stereo

    Out of Phase Stereo (OOPS) is an audio technique which manipulates the phase of a stereo audio track, to isolate or remove certain components of the stereo mix. It works on the principle of phase cancellation , in which two identical but inverted waveforms summed together will "cancel the other out".

  5. Dipole - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dipole

    The bent molecule H 2 O has a net dipole. The two bond dipoles do not cancel. The overall dipole moment of a molecule may be approximated as a vector sum of bond dipole moments. As a vector sum it depends on the relative orientation of the bonds, so that from the dipole moment information can be deduced about the molecular geometry.

  6. Diffraction - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diffraction

    Sound waves can diffract around objects, which is why one can still hear someone calling even when hiding behind a tree. [25] Diffraction can also be a concern in some technical applications; it sets a fundamental limit to the resolution of a camera, telescope, or microscope. Other examples of diffraction are considered below.

  7. Reflective array antenna - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reflective_array_antenna

    If the resulting array is pointed directly at the source signal, both dipoles will see the same instantaneous signal, and thus their reception will be in-phase. However, if one were to rotate the antenna so it was at an angle to the signal, the extra path from the signal to the more distant dipole means it receives the signal slightly out of phase.

  8. Self-interference cancellation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Self-interference_cancellation

    Self-interference cancellation (SIC) is a signal processing technique that enables a radio transceiver to simultaneously transmit and receive on a single channel, a pair of partially-overlapping channels, or any pair of channels in the same frequency band.

  9. Auditory masking - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Auditory_masking

    Simultaneous masking occurs when a sound is made inaudible by a noise or unwanted sound of the same duration as the original sound. [2] For example, a powerful spike at 1 kHz will tend to mask out a lower-level tone at 1.1 kHz. Also, two sine tones at 440 and 450 Hz can be perceived clearly when separated.
