51Low-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 …
52Link budget — A link budget is the accounting of all of the gains and losses from the transmitter, through the medium (free space, cable, waveguide, fiber, etc.) to the receiver in a telecommunication system. It accounts for the attenuation of the transmitted… …
53Microchannel plate detector — from the Daresbury Recoil Separator A micro channel plate (MCP) is a planar component used for detection of particles (electrons or ions) and impinging radiation (ultraviolet radiation and X rays). It is closely related to an electron multiplier …
54Charles E. Smith (engineer) — Dr. Charles E. Smith was professor and Chair in the Department of Electrical Engineering at the University of Mississippi. His focus research areas included: application of electromagnetic theory to microwave circuits, application of numerical… …
55AN/FPS-16 — manned space program and the U.S. Air Force. The accuracy of Radar Set AN/FPS 16 is such that the position data obtained from point source targets has azimuth and elevation angular errors of less than 0.1 milliradian (approximately 0.006 degree)… …
56telescope — /tel euh skohp /, n., adj., v., telescoped, telescoping. n. 1. an optical instrument for making distant objects appear larger and therefore nearer. One of the two principal forms (refracting telescope) consists essentially of an objective lens… …
57Distortion — This article is about technology, especially electrical engineering. For other uses, see Distortion (disambiguation). Distort redirects here. For other uses, see Distort (disambiguation). A distortion is the alteration of the original shape (or… …
58Filled cable — In telecommunication, a filled cable is a cable that has a nonhygroscopic material, usually a gel called icky pick, inside the jacket or sheath. The nonhygroscopic material fills the spaces between the interior parts of the cable, preventing… …
59Transmission medium — A transmission medium (plural transmission media ) is a material substance (solid, liquid or gas) which can propagate energy waves. For example, the transmission medium for sound received by the ears is usually air, but solids and liquids may… …
60Radio telescope — A radio telescope is a form of directional radio antenna used in radio astronomy and in tracking and collecting data from satellites and space probes. In their astronomical role they differ from optical telescopes in that they operate in the… …
