  2. Standing wave ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standing_wave_ratio

    Voltage standing wave ratio (VSWR) (pronounced "vizwar" [1] [2]) is the ratio of maximum to minimum voltage on a transmission line . For example, a VSWR of 1.2 means a peak voltage 1.2 times the minimum voltage along that line, if the line is at least one half wavelength long.

  3. Comparison of video codecs - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Comparison_of_video_codecs

    The quality the codec can achieve is heavily based on the compression format the codec uses. A codec is not a format, and there may be multiple codecs that implement the same compression specification – for example, MPEG-1 codecs typically do not achieve quality/size ratio comparable to codecs that implement the more modern H.264 specification.

  4. Network analyzer (electrical) - Wikipedia

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

    ZVA40 vector network analyzer from Rohde & Schwarz.. A network analyzer is an instrument that measures the network parameters of electrical networks.Today, network analyzers commonly measure s–parameters because reflection and transmission of electrical networks are easy to measure at high frequencies, but there are other network parameter sets such as y-parameters, z-parameters, and h ...

  5. Attenuation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation

    In engineering, attenuation is usually measured in units of decibels per unit length of medium (dB/cm, dB/km, etc.) and is represented by the attenuation coefficient of the medium in question. [1] Attenuation also occurs in earthquakes; when the seismic waves move farther away from the hypocenter, they grow smaller as they are attenuated by the ...

  6. Propagation constant - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propagation_constant

    Attenuation constant can be defined by the amplitude ratio | A 0 A x | = e α x {\displaystyle \left|{\frac {A_{0}}{A_{x}}}\right|=e^{\alpha x}} The propagation constant per unit length is defined as the natural logarithm of the ratio of the sending end current or voltage to the receiving end current or voltage, divided by the distance x involved:

  7. Low-noise amplifier - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Low-noise_amplifier

    The loss in that feed line is 3.2 dB at 1 GHz; approximately 5 dB at the GPS frequency (1.575 42 GHz). This feed line loss can be avoided by placing an LNA at the antenna, which supplies enough gain to offset the loss. An LNA is a key component at the front-end of a radio receiver circuit to help reduce unwanted noise in particular.

  8. Video coding format - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Video_coding_format

    A video coding format [a] (or sometimes video compression format) is a content representation format of digital video content, such as in a data file or bitstream. It typically uses a standardized video compression algorithm, most commonly based on discrete cosine transform (DCT) coding and motion compensation .

  9. Attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Attenuation-to-crosstalk_ratio

    Attenuation-to-crosstalk ratio (ACR) is a parameter that is measured when testing a communication link, which represents the overall performance of the cable. [1] AcR is a mathematical formula that calculates the ratio of attenuation to near-end crosstalk for each combination of cable pairs. [ 2 ]
