The Hartley oscillator is an electronic oscillator circuit in which the oscillation frequency is determined by a tuned circuit consisting of capacitors and inductors, that is, an LC oscillator. The circuit was invented in 1915 by American engineer Ralph Hartley .
Crystal oscillators can be manufactured for oscillation over a wide range of frequencies, from a few kilohertz up to several hundred megahertz.Many applications call for a crystal oscillator frequency conveniently related to some other desired frequency, so hundreds of standard crystal frequencies are made in large quantities and stocked by electronics distributors.
These equations say respectively: a photon has zero rest mass; the photon energy is hν = hc|k| (k is the wave vector, c is speed of light); its electromagnetic momentum is ħk [ħ = h/(2π)]; the polarization μ = ±1 is the eigenvalue of the z-component of the photon spin.
The period and frequency are determined by the size of the mass m and the force constant k, while the amplitude and phase are determined by the starting position and velocity. The velocity and acceleration of a simple harmonic oscillator oscillate with the same frequency as the position, but with shifted phases. The velocity is maximal for zero ...
The Leeson equation is presented in various forms. In the above equation, if f c is set to zero the equation represents a linear analysis of a feedback oscillator in the general case (and flicker noise is not included), it is for this that Leeson is most recognised, showing a −20 dB/decade of offset frequency slope. If used correctly, the ...
The Hartley function is a measure of uncertainty, introduced by Ralph Hartley in 1928. If a sample from a finite set A uniformly at random is picked, the information revealed after the outcome is known is given by the Hartley function
The result of Mehler can also be linked to probability. For this, the variables should be rescaled as x → x/ √ 2, y → y/ √ 2, so as to change from the 'physicist's' Hermite polynomials H (.) (with weight function exp(− x 2)) to "probabilist's" Hermite polynomials He (.) (with weight function exp(− x 2 /2)).
Ralph Vinton Lyon Hartley (November 30, 1888 – May 1, 1970) was an American electronics researcher. He invented the Hartley oscillator and the Hartley transform, and contributed to the foundations of information theory. His legacy includes the naming of the hartley, a unit of information equal to one decimal digit, after him.
