Implementation
Form factor: Add brief definition or description- Time domain: Add brief definition or description
- Frequency domain: Add brief definition or description
Electronic engineering
Electromagnetic spectrum: The range of electromagnetic waves covering all frequencies and wavelengths. [e]- Infrared light: In physics and engineering, a non-visible portion of the electromagnetic spectrum ranging from wavelengths of 750 nm to 1 mm, between the darkest visible red and the shortest submillimeter wave radar [e]
- Visible light: Add brief definition or description
- Ultraviolet: The part of the electromagnetic spectrum between the visible light and X-ray regions [e]
Free space
- Radio: Transmission and reception of information, which can be voice, data or imagery over electromagnetic radiation in free space (i.e., wireless). The information is modulated onto a carrier wave [e] See also Radio
- Radar: Acronym for "radio detection and ranging"; a system used to locate a distant object by transmission of radio waves and reception of their reflection. [e] See also Radar
- Antenna: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Antenna (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed. See also Antenna
- Radiofrequency MASINT: Add brief definition or description
- Multipath: Add brief definition or description
Radio
- Superheterodyne: A form of reception in which the frequency of an incoming signal is mixed with a locally generated signal and converted to an intermediate frequency in order to facilitate amplification and the rejection of unwanted signals. [e]
- Software-defined radio: Radio communication system where components that have typically been implemented in hardware are instead implemented using software on a personal computer or other embedded computing devices. [e]
Subtopics
Antenna
- Polarization: Please do not use this term in your topic list, because there is no single article for it. Please substitute a more precise term. See Polarization (disambiguation) for a list of available, more precise, topics. Please add a new usage if needed.
- Wavelength: For a repeating phenomenon such as a radio signal with a given frequency, the wavelength is the length, in meters, of a single repetition [e]
- Dipole: Add brief definition or description
- Chaff (electronic warfare): Add brief definition or description
