  2. Line-of-sight propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line-of-sight_propagation

    Line of sight (LoS) propagation from an antenna. Line-of-sight propagation is a characteristic of electromagnetic radiation or acoustic wave propagation which means waves can only travel in a direct visual path from the source to the receiver without obstacles. [1] Electromagnetic transmission includes light emissions traveling in a straight line.

  3. Line of sight - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Line_of_sight

    Line-of-sight propagation, electro-magnetic waves travelling in a straight line Non-line-of-sight propagation; Line-of-sight fire, shooting directly at a visible target on a relatively flat trajectory; Line-of-sight velocity, an object's speed straight towards or away from an observer; Line-of-sight double star, one in which two stars are only ...

  4. Level (optical instrument) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Level_(optical_instrument)

    Traditionally the instrument was completely adjusted manually to ensure a level line of sight, but modern automatic versions self-compensate for slight errors in the coarse levelling of the instrument, and are thereby quicker to use. The optical level should not be confused with a theodolite, which can also measure angles in the vertical plane.

  5. Lasso tool - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lasso_tool

    The lasso (or "free form selection") is an editing tool available, with minor variations, in most digital image editing software [1] and some specific strategy games.It is often accessed from the standard main menu (in Photoshop, [2] Paint Tool SAI, [3] and GIMP, [4] as common examples), by clicking the icon of a dotted line shaped like a rope lasso, from which the common name arises.

  6. Optical train - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Optical_train

    An optical train, also called an optical assembly, is an arrangement of optical components (e.g. lenses, mirrors, prisms) to guide a line of sight and/or a laser beam. [1] For example, the position and angle of lenses may be adjusted to guide a laser through the path required.

  7. Point-to-multipoint communication - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Point-to-multipoint...

    Connections between the base station and subscriber units can be either line-of-sight or, for lower-frequency radio systems, non-line-of-sight where link budgets permit. [2] Generally, lower frequencies can offer non-line-of-sight connections.

    Sorry to break the news, but American cheese is not real cheese. It contains cheese, but not in large enough amounts to bear the title. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) considers American ...

  9. Path loss - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Path_loss

    Path loss normally includes propagation losses caused by the natural expansion of the radio wave front in free space (which usually takes the shape of an ever-increasing sphere), absorption losses (sometimes called penetration losses), when the signal passes through media not transparent to electromagnetic waves, diffraction losses when part of the radiowave front is obstructed by an opaque ...
