52Evanescent wave coupling — In optics, evanescent wave coupling is a process by which electromagnetic waves are transmitted from one medium to another by means of the evanescent, exponentially decaying electromagnetic field. Coupling is usually accomplished by placing two… …
53Beam propagation method — (BPM) refers to a computational technique in Electromagnetics, usedto solve the Helmholtz equation under conditions of a time harmonic wave. BPM works under slowly varying envelope approximation, for linear and nonlinear equations.The beam… …
54Arthur Covington — Arthur Edwin Covington (21 September 1913 ndash; 17 March 2001) is a Canadian physicist who made the first radio astronomy measurements in Canada. Through these he made the valuable discovery that sunspots generate large amounts of microwaves at… …
55Optical amplifier — An optical amplifier is a device that amplifies an optical signal directly, without the need to first convert it to an electrical signal. An optical amplifier may be thought of as a laser without an optical cavity, or one in which feedback from… …
56Metamaterial — Negative index metamaterial array configuration, which was constructed of copper split ring resonators and wires mounted on interlocking sheets of fiberglass circuit board. The total array consists of 3 by 20×20 unit cells with overall dimensions …
57Horn (telecommunications) — In telecommunications, the term horn has the following meanings:* In radio transmission, an open ended waveguide, of increasing cross sectional area, which radiates directly in a desired direction or feeds a reflector that forms a desired beam.… …
58Feed line — The Feed line in a radio transmission, reception or transceiver system is the physical cabling that carries the RF signal to and/or from the antenna. It is also called a transmission line. When operating properly, and under ideal conditions, the… …
59radar — /ray dahr/, n. 1. Electronics. a device for determining the presence and location of an object by measuring the time for the echo of a radio wave to return from it and the direction from which it returns. 2. a means or sense of awareness or… …
60Wave impedance — The wave impedance of an electromagnetic wave, is the ratio of the transverse components of the electric and magnetic fields (the transverse components being those at right angles to the direction of propagation). For a transverse electric… …
