  2. High Accuracy Radial Velocity Planet Searcher - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/High_Accuracy_Radial...

    The HARPS can attain a precision of 0.97 m/s (3.5 km/h), [2] making it one of only two instruments worldwide with such accuracy. [citation needed] This is due to a design in which the target star and a reference spectrum from a thorium lamp are observed simultaneously using two identical optic fibre feeds, and to careful attention to mechanical stability: the instrument sits in a vacuum vessel ...

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baofeng_UV-5R

    The Baofeng UV-5R has been produced since 2012 and exported to markets worldwide. The controversial radio had no FCC Part 95 certification [4] in the United States. As a result, it was not authorized for use in the GMRS and FRS, only for amateur radio. [5] [6] Baofeng launched a number of other models based on the UV-5R technology, since 2012.

    [24] [25] [26] Introduced in the year 2000, the radio was known for its "all-in-one" functionality. It can transmit on all amateur radio bands between 160 meters and 70 centimeters, with the exception of the 1.25 meters band, and the "X" model also has built-in 23 centimeters band capability option. Kenwood discontinued production of the TS ...

    Hallicrafters founder William J. Halligan depicted in a 1944 magazine ad. William J. Halligan (1898–1992), founded Hallicrafters Company in Chicago in late 1932. Prior to this, he had been involved in radio parts sales for some years but decided the time was right for a handcrafted amateur radio receiver - the company name being a combination of Halli(gan) and (hand)crafters.

  6. Radio propagation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Radio_propagation

    Radio propagation is the behavior of radio waves as they travel, or are propagated, from one point to another in vacuum, or into various parts of the atmosphere. [1]: 26‑1 As a form of electromagnetic radiation, like light waves, radio waves are affected by the phenomena of reflection, refraction, diffraction, absorption, polarization, and scattering. [2]

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Flow_measurement

    The Dall tube is a shortened version of a Venturi meter, with a lower pressure drop than an orifice plate. As with these flowmeters the flow rate in a Dall tube is determined by measuring the pressure drop caused by restriction in the conduit. The pressure differential is typically measured using diaphragm pressure transducers with digital readout.

  8. List of measuring instruments - Wikipedia

    A measuring instrument for radio waves: the 64-meter radio telescope at Parkes Observatory, Australia, as seen in 1969, when it was used to receive live televised video from Apollo 11. Considerations related to electric charge dominate electricity and electronics. Electrical charges interact via a field. That field is called electric field.If ...

  9. Variometer - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Variometer

    The venturi compensator supplies a speed-dependent negative pressure, so that the pressure reduces as speed increases, compensating for the increased static pressure due to sink. According to Helmut Reichmann , "...the least sensitive venturi mounting point would appear to be on the upper quarter of the vertical fin, some 60 cm (2 feet) forward ...
