  2. Field strength - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_strength

    For example, an electromagnetic field has both electric field strength and magnetic field strength. As an application, in radio frequency telecommunications, the signal strength excites a receiving antenna and thereby induces a voltage at a specific frequency and polarization in order to provide an input signal to a radio receiver.

  3. Ponderomotive force - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ponderomotive_force

    In physics, a ponderomotive force is a nonlinear force that a charged particle experiences in an inhomogeneous oscillating electromagnetic field. It causes the particle to move towards the area of the weaker field strength, rather than oscillating around an initial point as happens in a homogeneous field.

  4. Near and far field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Near_and_far_field

    The near field refers to places nearby the antenna conductors, or inside any polarizable media surrounding it, where the generation and emission of electromagnetic waves can be interfered with while the field lines remain electrically attached to the antenna, hence absorption of radiation in the near field by adjacent conducting objects detectably affects the loading on the signal generator ...

  5. Mathematical descriptions of the electromagnetic field

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mathematical_descriptions...

    The Maxwell equations in the presence of matter then become: = = where the current 3-form J still satisfies the continuity equation dJ = 0. When the fields are expressed as linear combinations (of exterior products) of basis forms θ i, =. the constitutive relation takes the form = where the field coefficient functions and the constitutive ...

  6. Quadrupole ion trap - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quadrupole_ion_trap

    In experimental physics, a quadrupole ion trap or paul trap is a type of ion trap that uses dynamic electric fields to trap charged particles. They are also called radio frequency (RF) traps or Paul traps in honor of Wolfgang Paul , who invented the device [ 1 ] [ 2 ] and shared the Nobel Prize in Physics in 1989 for this work. [ 3 ]

  7. Casimir effect - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Casimir_effect

    The second quantization of quantum field theory requires that each such ball-spring combination be quantized, that is, that the strength of the field be quantized at each point in space. At the most basic level, the field at each point in space is a simple harmonic oscillator , and its quantization places a quantum harmonic oscillator at each ...

  8. Field strength meter - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Field_strength_meter

    A field strength meter is actually a simple receiver. The RF signal is detected and fed to a microammeter, which is scaled in dBμ. The frequency range of the tuner is usually within the terrestrial broadcasting bands. Some FS meters can also receive satellite (TVRO and RRO) frequencies.

  9. High-intensity radiated field - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High-intensity_radiated_field

    An RF electromagnetic wave has both an electric and a magnetic component (electric field and magnetic field), and it is often convenient to express the intensity of the RF environment at a given location in terms of units specific to each component. For example, the unit "volts per meter" (V/m) is used to express the strength of the electric ...
