  2. Spacetime triangle diagram technique - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Spacetime_triangle_diagram...

    For the problems of wave motion is free space, the basic method of separating spatial variables is the application of integral transforms, while for the problems of wave generation and propagation in the guiding systems the variables are usually separated using expansions in terms of the basic functions (modes) meeting the required boundary ...

  3. Skip zone - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_zone

    When using medium to high-frequency radio telecommunication, there are radio waves which travel both parallel to the ground, and towards the ionosphere, referred to as a ground wave and sky wave, respectively. A skip zone is an annular region between the farthest points at which the ground wave can be received and the nearest point at which the ...

  4. Skywave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skywave

    Radio waves (black) reflecting off the ionosphere (red) during skywave propagation. Line altitude in this image is significantly exaggerated and not to scale. In radio communication, skywave or skip refers to the propagation of radio waves reflected or refracted back toward Earth from the ionosphere, an electrically charged layer of the upper atmosphere.

    [2] [5] In reality, the electron density of the D-layer increases with altitude, and the wave is bounded as shown in Figure 2. The sum of ground wave and first hop wave displays an interference pattern with interference minima if the difference between the ray paths of ground and first sky wave is half a wavelength (or a phase difference of 180°).

    Position of a point in space, not necessarily a point on the wave profile or any line of propagation d, r: m [L] Wave profile displacement Along propagation direction, distance travelled (path length) by one wave from the source point r 0 to any point in space d (for longitudinal or transverse waves) L, d, r

  7. Traveling plane wave - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Traveling_plane_wave

    The wavefronts of a traveling plane wave in three-dimensional space.. In mathematics and physics, a traveling plane wave [1] is a special case of plane wave, namely a field whose evolution in time can be described as simple translation of its values at a constant wave speed, along a fixed direction of propagation.

  8. Huygens–Fresnel principle - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Huygens–Fresnel_principle

    The waves produced by this disturbance, in turn, create disturbances in other regions, and so on. The superposition of all the waves results in the observed pattern of wave propagation. Homogeneity of space is fundamental to quantum field theory (QFT) where the wave function of any object

  9. Skip distance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Skip_distance

    A skip distance is the distance a radio wave travels, usually including a hop in the ionosphere.A skip distance is a distance on the Earth's surface between the two points where radio waves from a transmitter, refracted downwards by different layers of the ionosphere, fall.
