  2. Phased array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array

    An active phased array or active electronically scanned array (AESA) is a phased array in which each antenna element has an analog transmitter/receiver (T/R) module [13] which creates the phase shifting required to electronically steer the antenna beam. Active arrays are a more advanced, second-generation phased-array technology that are used ...

  3. Phased array ultrasonics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased_array_ultrasonics

    Weld examination by phased array. TOP: The phased array probe emits a series of beams to flood the weld with sound. BOTTOM: The flaw in the weld appears as a red indication on the instrument screen. Phased array ultrasonics (PA) is an advanced method of ultrasonic testing that has applications in medical imaging and industrial nondestructive ...

  4. Grating lobes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Grating_lobes

    A typical radiation pattern of phased arrays whose inter-element spacing is greater than half a wavelength, hence the radiation pattern has grating lobes.. For discrete aperture antennas (such as phased arrays) in which the element spacing is greater than a half wavelength, a spatial aliasing effect allows plane waves incident to the array from visible angles other than the desired direction ...

  5. SNP array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/SNP_array

    In molecular biology, SNP array is a type of DNA microarray which is used to detect polymorphisms within a population. A single nucleotide polymorphism (SNP), a variation at a single site in DNA , is the most frequent type of variation in the genome.

  6. Squint (antenna) - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Squint_(antenna)

    In a phased array or slotted waveguide antenna, squint refers to the angle that the transmission is offset from the normal of the plane of the antenna. In simple terms, it is the change in the beam direction as a function of operating frequency , polarization , or orientation. [ 1 ]

  7. Passive electronically scanned array - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Passive_electronically...

    The first module, a linear array, was completed in 1960. It formed the basis of the AN/FPS-85. [1] Starting in the 1960s, new solid-state devices capable of delaying the transmitter signal in a controlled way were introduced. That led to the first practical large-scale passive electronically scanned array, or simply phased array radar.

  8. Phase variation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phase_variation

    In biology, phase variation is a method for dealing with rapidly varying environments without requiring random mutation. It involves the variation of protein expression, frequently in an on-off fashion, within different parts of a bacterial population. As such the phenotype can switch at frequencies that are much higher (sometimes >1%) than ...

  9. Phased-array optics - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Phased-array_optics

    An optical phased array (OPA) is the optical analog of a radio-wave phased array. [1] By dynamically controlling the optical properties of a surface on a microscopic scale, it is possible to steer the direction of light beams (in an OPA transmitter [ 2 ] ), or the view direction of sensors (in an OPA receiver [ 3 ] ), without any moving parts.
