21Delta-sigma modulation — Delta sigma (ΔΣ; or sigma delta, ΣΔ) modulation is a method for encoding high resolution or analog signals into lower resolution digital signals. The conversion is done using error feedback, where the difference between the two signals is… …
22Radar signal characteristics — A Radar System uses a Radio Frequency electromagnetic signal reflected from a target to determine information about that target. In any radar system, the signal transmitted and received will exhibit many of the characteristics described below.The …
23Radar — For other uses, see Radar (disambiguation). A long range radar antenna, known as ALTAIR, used to detect and track space objects in conjunction with ABM testing at the Ronald Reagan Test Site on Kwajalein Atoll …
24History of radar — The history of radar starts with experiments by Heinrich Hertz in the late 19th century that showed that radio waves were reflected by metallic objects. This possibility was suggested in James Clerk Maxwell s seminal work on electromagnetism.… …
25Ultra-wideband — (aka UWB, ultra wide band, ultraband, etc.) is a radio technology that can be used at very low energy levels for short range high bandwidth communications by using a large portion of the radio spectrum. UWB has traditional applications in non… …
26Clutter (radar) — Clutter is a term used for unwanted echoes in electronic systems, particularly in reference to radars. Such echoes are typically returned from ground, sea, rain, animals/insects, chaff and atmospheric turbulences, and can cause serious… …
27Time-domain reflectometer — A time domain reflectometer (TDR) is an electronic instrument used to characterize and locate faults in metallic cables (for example, twisted wire pairs, coaxial cables). The equivalent device for optical fiber is an optical time domain… …
28AN/FPS-17 — The AN/FPS 17 is a ground based fixed beam radar system that was installed at Pirinçlik Air Base in south eastern Turkey.This system was deployed to satisfy scientific and technical intelligence collection requirements during the Cold War. The… …
29Time of Flight Ultrasonic Determination of 3D Elastic Constants — The three dimensional elastic constants of materials can be measured using the ultrasonic immersion method. This was pioneered by xx and xx from the National Physical Laboratory in the 19xx s. It has mainly been used for polymer composite… …
30Tactical Synthetic Aperture Radar — The Tactical Synthetic Aperture Radar (TSAR) is a new radar system introduced on the MQ 8B Fire Scout unmanned aerial vehicle. It delivers high resolution, wide area radar images day or night, and in all weather conditions. TSAR systems take… …
