microwave-noise standard
1Noise measurement — is carried out in various fields. In acoustics, it can be for the purpose of measuring environmental noise, or part of a test procedure using white noise, or some other specialised form of test signal. In electronics it relates to the sensitivity …
2Noise (electronics) — Electronic noise [1] is a random fluctuation in an electrical signal, a characteristic of all electronic circuits. Noise generated by electronic devices varies greatly, as it can be produced by several different effects. Thermal noise is… …
3Microwave transmission — The atmospheric attenuation of microwaves in dry air with a precipitable water vapor level of 0.001 mm. The downward spikes in the graph correspond to frequencies at which microwaves are absorbed more strongly, such as by oxygen molecules… …
4Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe — WMAP redirects here. WMAP may also refer to either radio station WXNC or WGSP FM. Wilkinson Microwave Anisotropy Probe General information NSSDC ID 2001 027A …
5Cosmic microwave background radiation — CMB and Cosmic background radiation redirect here. For other uses see CMB (disambiguation) and Cosmic background (disambiguation). Physical cosmology …
6Cosmic noise — and galactic radio noise is random noise that originates outside the Earth s atmosphere. It can be detected and heard on radio receivers. Elaboration Cosmic noise characteristics are similar to those of thermal noise. Cosmic noise is experienced… …
7Shot noise — Photon noise simulation. Shot noise is a type of electronic noise that may be dominant when the finite number of particles that carry energy (such as electrons in an electronic circuit or photons in an optical device) is sufficiently small so… …
8Low-noise block converter — A low noise block converter (LNB, for low noise block, or sometimes LNC, for low noise converter) is the (receiving, or downlink) antenna of what is commonly called the parabolic (actually paraboloid) satellite dish commonly used for satellite TV …
9telecommunications media — Introduction equipment and systems metal wire, terrestrial and satellite radio, and optical fibre employed in the transmission of electromagnetic signals. Transmission media and the problem of signal degradation Every… …
10Atomic clock — Nuclear clock redirects here. For the clock as a measure for risk of catastrophic destruction, see Doomsday Clock. For a clock updated by radio signals (commonly but inaccurately called an atomic clock ), see Radio clock. For the album by Zion I …
